Frank Citrone Jr.

Frank Citrone, Jr., 70, of Dedham, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully at home on March 12, 2026, after a courageous 23-year battle with cancer.

Born in Boston on April 20, 1955, Frank was the son of the late Frank Citrone and Mary Citrone. He was raised in Hyde Park and graduated from Catholic Memorial High School in 1973. He went on to earn his bachelor’s degree from Suffolk University and later received his MBA from Babson College.

Frank spent more than forty years working in financial services. Outside of work, he was a devoted father and an active member of his community. He coached his children in town sports for many years and was the founder and first president of the Westwood Fields Association, helping create opportunities for young athletes and families in the community.

To ensure brighter futures for those who shared his diagnoses, he began the Frank Citrone Research Fund, which worked to promote awareness of blood diseases and improve their treatments. The fund donated to Boston Medical Center, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Massachusetts General Hospital. For his efforts he was inducted into the Chester S. Keefer, M.D. Society.

Frank was often the one behind the camera, capturing the moments that mattered most for his family. He will be remembered for his warm presence, dedication to those he loved, and the many memories he helped preserve.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 43 years, Carol Citrone; his children, Alex Citrone, Nick Citrone and his wife Esther Montgomery, and Amanda St. Clair; and his cherished grandsons, Benjamin and Samuel St. Clair.

He is also survived by his sister, Angela Rutzick and her husband Philip; his nieces Danielle Skehill and her husband Mark, and April Libby and her husband Dan; his great-nephews Mike Masse and Jaxon Libby; and his great-nieces Sophie Skehill and Reese Libby.

In addition to his parents, Frank was predeceased by his younger brother, Jimmy Citrone.

A Funeral Mass in remembrance of Frank’s life will be held on Friday, March 20th at 11:00 AM at Saint Denis Catholic Church, 157 Washington St, Westwood, MA 02090. A celebration of life will follow from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Norfolk Country Club, 166 East St, Westwood, MA 02090.
