Gerald Mazzarella, 77, passed away January 1, 2022, after a long illness. A lifelong resident of East Boston, Gerald was born May 29, 1944. He was an educator both in his personal and professional life. During his 41-year career as a high school teacher, he impacted the lives of thousands of young people in the Boston Public Schools.
While he was often working two or more jobs and organizing a band, his true life’s work was inspiring family and friends, instilling in them a love for wisdom and the Catholic Faith. He acted in union with his membership in the Knights of Columbus and the Third Order of the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. He was a diligent student until the end and a passionate defender of the eternal truths. When he was homebound, he treated his home as a monastery and designed a website to share Catholicism with others.
He was predeceased by his parents, Rafael (Ralph) and Maria Rosa Caristo Mazzarella, his brother Vincent (Sonny), and his son-in-law Steven Frye.
