Carmella Carlucci

Carmella “Millie” Fusco Carlucci entered into eternal rest on Sunday, November 19, 2023. She was born on May 15, 1925, in Norwalk, CT. She met and married Anthony “Randy” Carlucci, her husband of 63 years. They settled in Stamford and built their life around family. Millie was an excellent cook and loved to bring her family together for holiday and Sunday dinners. She was always so generous and welcomed everyone to her table, always saying there is room for one more. She had natural artistic talent and was a self-taught portrait artist. This artistic talent and creativity spilled over into her cooking, baking, crocheting and knitting. If anyone was sick or discouraged and needed a “hand” or an “ear”, Millie was always there to help and listen. She had the patience of a saint! Millie and Randy loved to travel, especially to Italy, appreciating the natural beauty, art and music. They also enjoyed going to the Army reunions throughout the United States, but especially the WWII Anniversary Reunion in Europe. She also enjoyed many bus rides to the Casino! She remained fiercely independent into her nineties and spent her time watching tennis and baseball, and loved nothing more than having her daughters at her side for dinner. By praying five rosaries a day, it gave her great strength and resilience. The most beautiful thing about Millie was the unconditional love that she gave her family and friends; kindness was her creed. She believed that less is best and it served her well all the years of her life. Millie was predeceased by her husband, Anthony “Randy” Carlucci and is survived by their three children, Marguerite Carlucci, Jenny Carlucci McLaughlin and Angela Carlucci and her two sons-in-law, Gene Giaquinto and Christopher McLaughlin. She was also predeceased by her parents, Jennie (Baranello) Fusco and Rocco Fusco and her two brothers, Ralph and James Fusco. Millie will be dearly missed by all who knew her, especially by her daughters and sons-in-law, who were so fortunate to have her and be with her throughout her years, but they take comfort in knowing that she is now resting in the peace of Christ, surrounded by her heavenly family. Special thanks to Dr. Remi Rosenberg for his exceptional care. Her family welcomes donations in her name to Franciscan Friars of the Atonement or Salesian Sisters of Saint John Bosco. Visitation will be on Sunday, November 26th from 2pm to 6pm at Bosak Funeral Home, 453 Shippan Avenue, in Stamford, CT. A Mass of Christian burial will be on Monday, November 27th at 10 am at St. Catherine of Siena Church, 4 Riverside Avenue, Riverside, CT.
