Marie (Scafariello) Carangelo, 97, of East Haven passed away August 4, 2022. She was born March 9, 1925 in New Haven to Ralph and Michelina (Plagese) Scafariello. Marie is survived by her children; Laura Lawrence of Cheshire, Patricia Whipple (Walter) of Unionville, Debra Randall (Rick) of New Haven and Frank Carangelo (Lynn) of Milford.

Marie graduated as one of the top students of her class in 1943. She took pride in her academic achievements. Marie then went on to work at A.C. Gilbert where she met Frank Sr., the love of her life. Marie and Frank shared in 41 years of marriage. Those years were filled with family, work, travel, and friends. She truly enjoyed lunches and shopping with her daughters, as well as Sunday dinners with her son. Her daily puzzles, trip to the casino and sharing stories with her friends and family were a highlight of her days. Marie was very comical and could make anyone laugh with one of her stories. Her children and grandchildren were her world. A phone call was like a visit to Marie, and she enjoyed her daily chats. She taught us the value of being there for each other and we always felt loved.

Family will receive friends from 9 A.M. until 10:30 A.M. on Monday, August 8, 2022 at the Clancy-Palumbo Funeral Home (Clancy Funeral Home), 43 Kirkham Ave., East Haven at which time her funeral procession will leave for a 11 A.M.
