Ruth Ann (Paulino) Mangini
d. January 12, 2011
Hudson, MA
Ruth Ann (Paulino) Mangini, a lifelong resident of Hudson, passed away peacefully on Wednesday evening, January 12, 2011 after a courageous battle with cancer. She was the devoted wife of Richard J. Mangini, to whom she married almost 60 years ago, on October 20, 1951.
Born in Clinton, MA on June 27, 1931, to Dominic and Josephine (Kehoe) Paulino, she was educated in the Hudson Catholic School system, transferring to Hudson High School, graduating with the class of 1948.
Although her priority was being a wonderful homemaker for her husband and children, Ruth thoroughly enjoyed her years at the Hudson Dress Shop, a former downtown business, as a sales associate. Ruth also loved to sing and enjoyed the time she spent as an "alto" with the St. Michaels' choir. She enjoyed entertaining and will be remembered for her famous Christmas open house gatherings. She enjoyed many hobbies; however, her favorite pastime was spending time with her family and friends.

Mangini and his wife Jane of Milford, MA and Michael P Mangini and his wife Karen of North Grafton, MA.
