Nannette F. Dube, 1934-2025, was devoted to faith and family

Nannette F. (Iannuzzo) Dube, of Waltham, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, Sept. 16 2025, with her loving family by her side at the Winchester Nursing & Rehabilitation Center after a lengthy illness. She was 90 years old.

Born on Oct. 28 1934 in Waltham, Nannette was the daughter of the late Joseph Iannuzzo and Frances (Rizzo) Iannuzzo. A lifelong resident of Waltham, she was a proud graduate of Waltham High School, class of 1953.

Nan worked for many years as an administrative assistant in data entry at the former Waltham Hospital, and later with Sacred Heart Parish in Waltham, until her retirement. Her devotion to her faith extended far beyond her professional work. A deeply spiritual woman, Nan was a devoted parishioner of Sacred Heart Church where she served as a eucharistic minister, an active member of the Holy Rosary Guild, and volunteered for countless parish activities, including the Italian festivals, the 311 Club, Night at the Races, and meat raffles. Sacred Heart Parish was truly a second home to her, and her faith was a guiding light throughout her life.

Above all, Nan treasured her family. She was a devoted wife, loving mother, cherished grandmother, and proud great-grandmother. Family was at the center of her world, and she loved nothing more than gathering with her loved ones. She also enjoyed spending time with friends, especially bowling and line dancing.

She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Paul E. Dube.

Nan leaves behind her devoted sons, Paul M. Dube and his wife Valerie (Rao) Dube of Burlington, and Richard J. Dube and his wife Deborah (Zarella) Dube of Plymouth, formerly of Newburyport. She was the cherished grandmother of Nicole Silvio and her husband Michael of Billerica, Jeffrey Dube of Burlington, Joseph Dube and his wife Hannah of Maine, Mark Dube and his wife Melissa of Nevada, and Anthony Dube of Malden, and the adoring great-grandmother of Mikey and Sofia.

She is also survived by her dear siblings Patricia “Patty” Connors of Florida, Peter Iannuzzo and his wife Beverly of Waltham, and Theresa “Terry” Lupo of Waltham, as well as many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, extended family, and friends. She was predeceased by her siblings Rose “Rosie” Anderson, Geraldine “Gerry” Proia, Mary Ann Comeau, Josephine “Josie” Papia, and Robert “Bobby” Iannuzzo.

Nan will be remembered for her faith, kindness, devotion to family, and the joy she brought to all who knew her.
