Maureen Campanelli Obituary

Maureen Daly Campanelli passed away peacefully on April 15, 2022, at the age of 85. "Mo" or "Moie", as she was affectionately called, was smart, insightful, funny, generous and caring. She always put others before herself and made an enormous impact on the people in her life. Maureen and her devoted husband Tony were married for 64 years. She unfailingly committed herself to her children and grandchildren, pushing them to be better versions of themselves, but insuring there was a ton of fun along the way. Maureen instilled in her family a work ethic and strong religious sensibilities. Family and faith were Maureen's passions and guided every aspect of her life. She considered her faith the special ingredient in her family's happiness. Maureen taught them to trust in the Lord, pray often, always go to church, be especially good to one another and show God's love to others. Her unwavering belief gave her the courage and strength to persevere and never give up. She also considered her friends to be blessings and developed cherished relationships in Connecticut and Florida. Her friendships were filled with laughter and meaningful life moments. Maureen also was bold about expressing her great pride in her 12 grandchildren, the special bond they all share and sense of family they learned from Grandma "Moie". Maureen was a lifelong resident of West Hartford, CT and over the last 22 years spent winters in Naples, FL. She is survived by her loving husband Anthony; her five adored children, Patti (Ross) Joel, Jean (Steven) Lavallee, Paul (Kelly) Campanelli, Anne (George) Flynn, and Christine (Dana) Gillis and her twelve treasured grandchildren Morgan and Allie Joel, Katie, Tim and Maureen Lavallee, Caroline, Francesca and Nick Campanelli, Carter (Joe Moses) and Reagan Flynn, Hannah and Sarah Gillis. The family would like to extend its gratitude to all the wonderful nurses and caregivers at Avow Hospice of Naples for the compassionate care Maureen received in her final months. A Mass of Christian Burial will be July 29, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Thomas the Apostle Church in West Hartford, CT. Burial will follow at Fairview Cemetery.
