Ellen Marie Taglieri

Ellen Taglieri (Benner), 82, of South Weymouth passed away on May 22, 2025 at her home surrounded by her family. Ellen was born in Boston, and spent her young childhood in Lubec, Maine, before settling in South Weymouth. Ellen married the love of her life, William (Butch), in 1967, and they started their family shortly after. Ellen was a passionate homemaker, enjoyed spending time at their lake house in Washington NH, and valued time spent with her three daughters.

Ellen loved aerobics, yoga, and gardening. She was an amazing cook, and could frequently be found making her favorite dish, chicken broccoli alfredo. Ellen was also a lifetime volunteer at The Dianne DeVanna Center for victims of child abuse. She loved spending time with her friends and often called her daughters to go out for a glass of wine and an appetizer, or as she would say, "a nibbly".

Ellen is survived by her loving husband Butch Taglieri of South Weymouth, her daughters: Laurie DeMita and her husband Michael of Hanover, Paula Richards and her husband Stephen of Rockland, and Angela Strozewski and her husband Michael of Concord, NH. She is also survived by her nine grandchildren: Joseph, Maria, John, Nathan, Jacob, Elizabeth, Natalina, Jillian, and Benjamin, as well as her three great grandchildren Leddi, John, and Jackson. Ellen is predeceased by her late brother Clifford Benner.

Family and friends are respectfully invited to visiting hours for Ellen on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, from 4-7pm at the C. C. Shepherd Funeral Home located at 134 Pleasant St. (Columbian Sq.), S. Weymouth, MA.
