Marcia Federico-Longo Obituary
09/27/2023
Marcia Federico-Longo, 75, of East Haven passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, September 27, 2023 surrounded by her family. Marcia was born in Irvine, Kentucky on August 19, 1948. She owned and operated Sandcastle Home Daycare for many years. In more recent years, Marcia continued her love for molding young minds at Tuttle School where she was adored by all of the children, families and coworkers; her love for all of them was just as deep. She loved to travel to the Caribbean, she loved to shop, and loved to spend time with her family, friends and her beloved dogs Spencer and Kenzie.
Marcia brightened every room she walked into with her beautiful smile and her infectious laugh. She was a modern day fashionista, who you'd never find her without one of her gorgeous outfits with matching handbag and shoes. Marcia was a beautiful person, inside and out with the biggest heart anyone has ever seen. She was always willing to help anyone, Marcia never hesitated.
Marcia is survived by her loving husband Jim Longo, her children Matthew (Amy) Haley of East Haven, and Tiffany (Mark) Cruz of Killingworth, her sister Sheila (Burke) Reagan of Florida, her loving grandchildren Matthew, and Aidan Haley, and Anna, and Emerson Cruz and many nieces and nephews. Marcia's family would like to extend a special acknowledgement to her Tuttle family who meant the world to her and her special friends Gina and Ben Fronte. She was predeceased by her two brothers Richard and Mark Smith.

I am shocked and devasted with the news of your passing. You were beautiful inside and out. Loving, humble and a true friend. I will think of you often as you are now happy, free of pain and at home with Jesus.
