Marion R. (Keleher) Luttazi

LUTTAZI, Marion R. (Keleher) passed away on April 20, 2025 at the age of 83. Marion grew up in Needham, MA, and made Dover, MA, her home for over 60 years. A devoted mother of four, grandmother to eight, and great-grandmother to three, she was the heart of her family.

Beloved wife of the late Phillip R. Luttazi for over 63 years. Devoted father of Romolo Paul Luttazi and his wife Beth of Dover, Steven John Luttazi and his wife Judy of Franklin, Lori A. Siganoff and her late husband Don of Attleboro and Phillip D. Luttazi and his wife Susan of Medfield.

Marion was the daughter of the late Cyril and Madeline (Halder) Keleher. Sister of Judy Healy and her husband Tom of Foxboro, Elise Colacicco and her husband Vincent of San Antonio, TX, Robert Keleher of Needham and the late Barbara Keith of Arizona. She was also a loving grandmother of Kelly, Christina, Erica, John, Steven, Caroline, Benjamin, and Sarah. Great-grandmother of Josie, Amelia and Nora.

Marion was a long-time associate at Calvert’s and Decelle’s in Needham Heights and Medfield. In her younger years, Marion enjoyed playing tennis and had a passion for staying active, often enjoying long walks through her neighborhood in Dover. She also loved gardening, cooking, and baking, filling her home with the delicious aromas of banana bread, zucchini bread, and freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.
Holidays—especially Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter—were cherished family gatherings where Marion’s love for her family shone brightest.
Summers were spent poolside with her grandchildren, filled with laughter, games, and joy. The Fourth of July was always a highlight, starting with the Needham parade and followed by lively cookouts by the pool. Marion’s famous Lemon Lush and blueberry buckle desserts became beloved traditions that everyone looked forward to year after year.
Beyond her active pursuits, Marion enjoyed playing the piano and a good game of Mah-Jongg in her earlier years. Summers also meant time on Cape Cod in Falmouth, MA, where she and her siblings relaxed by the sea with their children. To escape the harsh New England winters, she and her husband, Phil, made annual trips to Florida to visit family and friends.
Marion, a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, will be dearly missed by her children, grandchildren, and all who had the joy of knowing and loving her. Her warmth, kindness, and deep love for family were felt in every holiday gathering, every home-baked treat, and every cherished moment shared together.

We love you, Mom. May you and Dad rest in peace together, forever side by side.
