In Boston, within Fairview Cemetery, is this family marker that lists Stella F. Ricci, who lived to 104.

Fairview Cemetery is located off River Street, near where River Street crosses Mother Brook. From the administrative office, continue straight and follow the road partially up the hill to an intersecting road, travel on that road to the monument on the left, on the uphill side, near the road.
