Sister Maureen Elizabeth O.Carm. was called to her eternal reward unexpectedly on Saturday March 9, 2024 at Mary Manning Walsh Home. She was in the 55th year of her religious life.
Marion Rita Doonan was born on June 16, 1950 in Brooklyn, NY, the first of five children born to the late Francis and Rita (nee McGuiness) Doonan. Her brother, Francis (Frank) and sister, Carol, pre-deceased her. She is survived by her brothers, Joseph and Patrick, and several nieces and nephews.
Having been a Carmelette at the Madonna Residence while in High School, and then employed as a nurse’s aide, Sr. Maureen entered the Community on September 8, 1969, professed First Vows on April 3, 1972, and Perpetual Vows on April 2, 1977. She completed an R.N. Diploma Program and received a BS in Professional Arts in 1978. She also received a Certification in Gerontological Nursing in 1988. Her Missions included Ozanam Hall (1972-1980), St. Rita’s Home (1980-1983), Marian Manor (1983-1988 and 1992-1997), Carroll Manor (1988-1990), Sacred Heart Manor (1990-1992), and Little Flower Manor (1997-1999). In 1999 she received an Obedience to Mary Manning Walsh Home where she served for the past twenty-five years, most recently as the Director of Mission Integration. In the past she held various positions including Director of Nursing, Coordinator of Nursing Services, Director of Quality Assurance, and Assistant Administrator. At various times she had also been appointed Prioress, Assistant Prioress, and Bursar.
Sr. Maureen was blessed with artistic and musical talents and played the melodica in the Community Choir. She was strong-willed and faithful as she courageously carried the cross of illness for many years, during which her love for the aged and for her Community strengthened her spirit of self-sacrifice. Years ago, Sr. Maureen Elizabeth heard the Lord whom she loved say “Take up your cross and follow Me.” Now He has taken the cross from her shoulders and exchanged it for a Crown of Glory!

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.
