WILMINGTON, MA — Jeanne M. DaMore (Rubino) “Mimi”, age 73, a long-time resident of Wilmington, formerly of Revere, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on March 11, 2020.
Jeanne was born on January 18, 1947, in East Boston, MA; she was the cherished daughter of the late Alfred and Phyllis Rubino. Jeanne was raised and educated in Revere, MA and was a graduate of Revere High School. Following graduation, Jeanne went on to further her education at Burdett Business School in Boston.
Jeanne married the “love of her life” Peter DaMore on February 22, 1969; the couple lived in Revere for a few years before moving to Wilmington nearly 48 years ago. Jeanne was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, who showered her family with unconditional love and devotion.
Jeanne made a wonderful home for her family; she had an open door policy and she treated her children’s friends as her own family. Jeanne loved being a Mom; she was always there to support her children in whatever they were involved in and she beamed with pride as she spoke of what wonderful adults that had become. Jeanne’s role as “Mimi” to her grandchildren was truly one she treasured; she just adored her grandchildren and looked forward to attending their school events, sporting events and cheering competitions.
Jeanne will be fondly remembered as kind and caring towards others; she always went out of her way to give back to her community. She was known to be an amazing cook and baker who enjoyed hosting for her family and friends or she would bring food to others who were ill or in need of a friend.
All who knew Jeanne, knew that she was a huge sports fan; she closely followed the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots but her favorite team to follow was the BC Eagles and she considered Doug Flutie a personal friend.
Jeanne was truly “one of a kind”; thoughtful, friendly and loving. Her passing had left a huge void in the hearts of those who loved her. She will forever be loved and missed by all.
Jeanne was the beloved wife of Peter T. DaMore, Sr., devoted mother of Peter T. DaMore, Jr. & his wife Gayle of Burlington, Fred DaMore & his wife Ann of Woburn and Lisa King & her husband Christopher of Wilmington.
