Agnes Roseanne Celentano

February 14, 1928 - August 27, 2025

It is with great sadness that the family of Agnes Celentano announces her passing at the age of 97. Agnes died peacefully at home in Greenwich, Connecticut, surrounded by her loved ones on August 27, 2025.

Agnes will be dearly missed by her children, Diana Steinman and Richard Zambarbieri (partner Marylou Copas); her grandchildren, Nora Steinman (Andrew Dalecki) and Nick Steinman; and her niece, Roseann Velocci. She was predeceased by her parents, Frank and Antonia Florio; all eight of her siblings; her former husband and friend, Severino Zambarbieri; and her son-in-law, Steven Steinman.

Agnes's children and grandchildren were her greatest source of pride and joy. She cherished every moment with them, and her family will forever treasure the love and memories they shared. She will be remembered for her love of flowers and her gift for bringing orchids back to life, for the way she spoiled the family dogs–Daisy, Shadow, Skylar and Layla–and for how she made people laugh until they cried even when it was unintentional.

A graveside service will be held at 11:30 am on Thursday, September 4, 2025 at Putnam Cemetery. Following the service the family invites all who loved her to join them at their home to celebrate Agnes's life.
