Joyce Miglietta Obituary
Joyce E. (Cicchetti) Miglietta, 68, of Glastonbury, beloved wife of Irvin J. Miglietta, died Tuesday April 22, 2014. Born November 21, 1945 in Hopedale, MA, daughter of the late Michael and Virginia (Moore) Cicchetti and daughter-in-law of the late Irvin J. and Carmel (Toscano) Miglietta Sr. She lived in Glastonbury for the past 40 years. Throughout her life, Joyce adored her family, friends, cooking and traveling and got endless pleasure when she could combine all of these passions together. One of her biggest joys was vacationing in Ogunquit, Maine with her family each summer. She was educated at Hopedale, MA and Russell Sage College and began her career as a fashion buyer for G. Fox and Company in Hartford, CT. After years as a stay at home Mom, Joyce returned to the business world as a real estate agent at Merrill Lynch. She was loyal to the same company for 28 years as it changed to Prudential CT Realty and just recently to Berkshire Hathaway. Her husband and daughter joined her in the business 10 years ago and The Miglietta Team was such a source of pride to her. Joyce's clients were like family and she truly touched everyone she knew with her kindness, honesty and attention to detail. She also loved the arts and was a member of the Wadsworth Atheneum, and was on the boards of the Welles Turner Second Century Fund and the Greater Hartford Literacy Volunteers. She was also a member of the Glastonbury Chamber of Commerce. Besides her husband she is survived by her daughter Britt Miglietta and her husband Michael Schatz of Glastonbury and two grandchildren -the lights of her life - Grady Joseph and Kellen Michael, who loved their Ammy so very much. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday April 25 at 10am in St. Dunstan Church, 1345 Manchester Rd., Glastonbury. Burial will follow in St. Augustine Cemetery, South Glastonbury.

Dearest family and friends of Joyce, my dear friend....
That eight years have passed in the interim is almost unimaginable....just as 2 1/2 years since my darling John died.
All we can do is remember our precious moments together, thank God for those and look to our eventual reunions.
Love always from afar....Karen

John and I are so deeply saddened by Joyce's unexpected passing. She was in our lives for too short a time and we'll miss her warm smile, loving heart and generous spirit. Seeing her picture here brought tears to my eyes - it's so unreal and so unfair. Our thoughts are with you, Irv, Britt, Michael, and grandsons.

Irv, Britt & family,
We are shocked and saddened to hear of Joyce's death. When I was at Prudential, we sat near each other and she was always, kind, pleasant and up-beat. When Elaine or Joleen came in to see me, she would always take the time to chat. We only had a few transactions together during our careers, but working with Joyce was always a pleasure. She was and always will be a credit to the profession.

I am so sadden by this news and I am sorry for your loss. I meet Joyce when purchasing my home last summer and I felt an instant connection to her. She was so open to share her story about her life, the progression of her career, her love for travel and her family. I went to her office one day to sign a simple paper and an hour later we were still talking. It was like time stood still. I left her office feeling so good, I thought to myself as I drove away, what a wonderful and special women. I bumped into her a few months ago and we spoke about her coming to my home to see the changes I had made, I am very sorry I will not have the opportunity to have that moment with her. She truly cared and was such a genuine person, I will always remember her and hold her dearly in my thoughts.

I am beyond shocked and saddened to have seen this just now! Joyce started showing me houses back when my 30 year old was 2 and we kept in contact over the years. The last I saw her was five years ago and she was still as friendly as ever. I am so sorry for your loss. God bless you all.
