In Loving Memory

We are saddened to share that our beloved mother passed away peacefully at home on Monday, July 8th. Born in 1942 in the countryside of southern Sweden, she was the daughter of a Swedish farmer and the eldest of three sisters. After serving in the Swedish military, she set out to see the world—first London, then Los Angeles, and finally New York, where she met her husband and raised her children.


She is survived by her son, Peter Orphanos, and his wife, Nicole Orphanos; her grandchildren, Katherine and Peter Orphanos, all of New York; and her daughter, Anne Marie.


She lived with quiet strength, deep patience, and an unwavering love for her family. After the passing of her husband four years ago, she and her son grew even closer, sharing time and memories that will always be cherished. She will be remembered for her resilience, warmth, and the love she gave to all who knew her.



A wake will be held Tuesday, July 16th from 6 to 8 p.m. at John Krtil Funeral Home, 70th Street and 1st Avenue. Per her wishes, there will be no formal service.

Obituary for Carmela Ann Nardella Celebrating a Life of Love, Family, and Faith Carmela Ann Nardella, 81, of CT, passed away on April 19th, 2026 peacefully surrounded by her family. Born on September 23, 1944, Carmela was the beloved daughter of the late Carlo and Angelina Passarelli. A devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt, she cherished her family and found her greatest joy in spending time with them. Carmela was known for her warm personality, kindness, supportive nature, Italian cooking, faith, strong work ethic, and her love of the beach, where she spent time with family each summer. Most important to Carmela were family holidays, her children and grandchildren's milestones, and celebrations. Carmela found the greatest joy in her endless support for her children and family, watching her grandsons grow up, baking and cooking with them, walks on the beach, and collecting seashells. She created lasting memories with each generation, making everyone feel loved and valued. She is survived by her three children and three grandchildren: Her daughter, Carolann Nardella; her son Anthony Nardella (wife Nicole); and daughter Andrea Nardella; and grandsons, Luke, Will, and Jake Nardella. She is also survived by her sister Carol Zerbo (husband Mike), as well as many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her sisters, Tomasina Passarelli and Joan Rammairone (husband Arthur). A funeral mass will be held on May 20th at 10:30am at St. Ignatius Loyola Church at 980 Park Avenue, New York, NY.
