Born on July 16, 1938, she was the daughter of the late Homer and Rita (Legere) Loranger. Collette loved her children and grandchildren with all her heart. She loved the ocean.

Collette is survived by her daughter Laura Sardo of Wethersfield, her son John Sardo and wife Kelly of Glastonbury, her daughter Collette Giarratano and husband Antonino of Glastonbury, eight grandchildren Alexandra, Antonino, Johnny, Jordan, Jacob, Michael, Kevin and Sophia, and a sister-in-law, Judaline Loranger of Wethersfield as well as several nieces, nephews and her cousins who held a special place in her heart. Besides her parents, Collette was predeceased by her two brothers, Rene and Norman Loranger. The family will receive relatives and friends from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. on Wednesday (November 27th) at D'Esopo Funeral Chapel, 277 Folly Brook Blvd., Wethersfield. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 1 p.m. on Wednesday (November 27th) at Christ the King Parish, 601 Silas Deane Hwy, Wethersfield, following the calling hours.

I met her when I was 12. She became my cousin by marriage. She then went on to become my best friend, my confidant and partner in crime in the practical joke department. My sympathy and love to her children, my cousins, Laurie, John and Collette.

I'm so sorry! It's so heartbreaking for me, to know all of you are going through this. I can't even imagine the pain you're in. I wish I had the words to take it all away or to help you through it You are all in my thoughts and my prayers today and in the days to come. She is and always will be here with you.....just not physically ❤
