Robert Iadevaia, 84, passed away Friday, April 4, 2025, at home surrounded by his loving family. He was the beloved husband of Nancy J. (Berube) Iadevaia to whom he shared 31 years of marriage.
Robert was predeceased by his first wife, Barbara Carol (Grice) Iadevaia. He was the son of Thomas and Theresa (DiNofrio) Iadevaia of Federal Hill, Providence. He leaves behind four daughters, Brenda Bernardo (James), Rebecca Caneira (Tony), Kimberly Lambert (Mark) and Chelsie Iadevaia and was the loving ‘Papa’ to ten grandchildren, Joseph, Sarah, Timothy, Angellica, Antonio, Payton, Grace, Audrey, Olivia and Anthony. He is survived by his brother Thomas and was predeceased by his siblings, Anna, Ludwig, Joseph, Louie, Anthony and Rosie.
Robert worked for General Electric as a machinist for over 33 years. During his retirement, he attended and graduated from New England Tech with a technology degree in HVAC. In his younger years, he worked as a mechanic; always making sure his daughters knew how to check their oil and never let that tank get below a ¼!
Robert enjoyed spending time with his family, holidays together, Italian food and his red wine. He loved spending time on the beach and trips to New Hampshire and his backyard was a nature haven that he thoroughly enjoyed.
He was a parishioner of St. Kevin Parish for over 40 years. Thank you to everyone who prayed for him over the last couple of months. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
We will be forever grateful to the kind and compassionate doctors, RNs and CNAs from the VNA, Kent Regency and Kent Hospital for their care of our dad during these last few months.
