Obituary: Anita G. Vegliante Pisano, 81, Of Hamden

HAMDEN, CT — (From North Haven Funeral Home): Anita G. Vegliante Pisano, 81, of Hamden, passed away peacefully on September 30, 2023, at her home with her family by her side. She was the beloved wife of the late Vincent “Chick” Pisano.

Anita was born in Hartford on August 13, 1942, and was the daughter of the late Ralph and Grace Messina Vegliante.

A hairdresser by trade, but being a devoted wife and homemaker, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother was most important. She loved her family unconditionally and was a caregiver to all.

Anita was the life of every party, lighting up the room with her smile. The quintessential “Italian mother” who took pride in making her home and every meal beautiful, feeding anyone who walked through the door.

Anita had a passion for cooking, whether frying meatballs for Sunday sauce or making trays of lasagna or apizzagaina, and baking Easter pies and Christmas cookies. She had a green thumb, turning every planter or plot of soil into a magic garden filled with love. She also enjoyed knitting, crocheting and home decorating.

Over the last few years, Anita cultivated many new friendships at the Clelian Center in Hamden.

Mother of Maria Piasecki (Michael), John A. Pisano II (Michelle) and Graceann A. Pisano. Grandmother of Giovanna Piasecki, Angelica Demers (Bryan), Michael Piasecki (Jessica), Francesca Pisano, Nicholas Piasecki and John A. Pisano III. Great-grandmother of Dominic, Isabella, and Enzo. She also left behind her beloved grand-dog, Archie, who adored her.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association, 200 Executive Blvd, Suite 4B, Southington, CT 06489.
