Ellen A. Ciafardoni, age 79, of West Haven, beloved wife of Thomas Ciarfardoni, passed away peacefully at Connecticut Hospice in Branford on Friday, June 26, 2020 with her family by her side. Ellen was born in New Haven, CT on July 2, 1940 to the late James E. and Ann K (Tyrczyk) Slattery.
Ellen graduated from West Haven High School, and worked for the Spectrum Company for many years before her retirement in 2007. An avid scrap booker, Ellen made her memory books for several members of the family. She was very creative and excelled at art projects.

Besides her husband Thomas, she is survived by her daughter, Melody Malone, one brother, Robert Slattery, a grandson, David A. Joslin Jr., a great-granddaughter, Chloe Joslin and many nieces, nephews and cherished friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, a daughter, Sherri Lynn Joslin, and a son, Mark Malone.

Hi Mom, can't believe you've been gone a year already. Seems like only yesterday. Sure am missing you, your smile, laugh, jokes, talks and hugs and kisses.
I think about the memories and realize what a wonderful childhood I had. The love and care of a mother are truly incomparable to anything else. I miss you in every moment of my life.
I wish there were secret stairs somewhere so I could climb up to where you are. I have many stories to tell you, mom. Missing you so much on this day and every day!
Hope God is keeping you safe and has giving you
all the rewards you deserve. See you on the other side.
With Love Always and Forever,
