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. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in Carmela’s memory to Alzheimer's Foundation of America , Memorial Sloan Kettering, or please simply share a favorite memory with the family.
