Karol Frattini Obituary
Karol was born in Meriden, CT on September 3, 1947, the daughter of the late Charles and Harriet (Carroll) Stacey.
She worked for the Town of Wallingford as a crossing guard for many years. Karol lived to be a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, and truly held dear her summer vacations with family on Block Island. She was never without elaborately painted finger nails, enjoyed watching movies, and was always up for a walk down memory lane.
She leaves behind her cherished family; her sons Michael Frattini and his wife, Kristine, of Wallingford, CT, and Anthony Frattini and his wife, Elizabeth, of Bridgewater, MA. She also leaves behind, and will be dearly missed by her grandchildren, Donna, Ernest, Raymond and Ethan. She was predeceased by her brother, Charles Stacey.
Her family will receive relatives and friends in The Wallingford Funeral Home, 809 North Main St. Ext., Wallingford on Friday, September 4, 2020 from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. A funeral service will be held at 1 p.m. in the funeral home. Interment will be in St. John Cemetery in Wallingford, CT. In lieu of flowers, as Karol cherished her cat Jake, gifts in her memory may be sent to The Meriden Humane Society, 311 Murdock, Avenue, Meriden, CT 06450.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. Having her and Ernie as neighbors on Mettler drive was a pleasure. She was and will always be an angel. She was a kind, thoughtful and loving person. May you all find joy in her memories forever.

I first met Karol at church. When just a young girl, Mrs. Stacey would invite me over to have a girls summer afternoon. I remember her as a quiet gentle lady. She came to one of our FB site's breakfasts that was held at Colony Diner. Such a gentle soul...she and Ernie are together again. RIP , Karol.

Please accept my most sincere condolences for the loss of your Mother. I knew she had been ill with her heart problem but had no idea of the secondary diagnosis which must have been devastating to you. I want you to know we are here if and when you need anything-
Sincerely
Mary
