Through her jobs and throughout her life, she created lasting friendships that brought her great joy and remained meaningful to her for decades.

Carmela’s pride and joy was her family. She devoted her life to raising and caring for her five children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was the heart of the family and the one everyone could count on, and the person who always seemed to know just what to say.

Carmela’s life was defined by family, love, hard work, and devotion. She was our mother, our rock, our comfort, and a lifelong source of strength. Losing her is a heartbreak beyond words, but we are forever grateful for the years we were blessed to have her and for her unconditional love for us.

Aa we honor our mom’s wishes there will be no services, a private burial will be held in the future at St. Joseph Cemetery, Winsted.
