Virginia Anne Mucciaccio

It is with great sadness and regret that I inform you of the passing of our beloved treasurer and past president, Ginny Mucciaccio.
 
She became president shortly after the fire in 1996 and led us through two rounds of grants to restore the house. In 2012 she became treasurer providing a firm grip on our fundraising and finances as well as guidance for the organization and genealogy support for members. We will miss her sorely.
 
Her Boston Globe Obituary is copied in below. There is a longer obituary on the funeral home site as well as testimonials from friends.
 
Pam Meppelink is our new treasurer. Donations and FWA correspondence can be mailed to her at:
Treasurer, Francis Wyman Association
C/O Mrs. Pamela Meppelink
108 Highland Avenue
Arlington, MA. 02476-7848
 
Sincerely and sadly,
Jon Wyman
President, FWA
