Nanette Cannata-Pardew
WALLINGFORD - Nanette Cannata-Pardew, 68, a beloved mother, sister, and friend, peacefully departed this life on June 19, 2025 with her family by her side. Born on January 7, 1957, in Meriden, CT to the late Louis and Dorothy (Whitmore) Cannata, Nanette's journey through life was characterized by her dedication, kindness, and unwavering spirit.
Nanette was a proud graduate of Lyman Hall High School, and worked for Precision Trim before returning to school and following her calling to the noble profession of nursing. With a compassionate heart and skilled hands, she served for many years at Gaylord Hospital in Wallingford and later at Choate Rosemary Hall.

Nanette faced her battles with cancer with remarkable courage and grace. Supported by an army of caring and compassionate caregivers, she fought valiantly through her illness, displaying a strength that inspired all who knew her.
She is survived by her devoted son, Thomas Pardew; her beloved siblings, Darlene Cannata Bailey (Robert), Larry Cannata (Denise), and Mary Cannata (Joseph Janiga); her dear companion, Anthony "Tony" Cassella, as well as her nieces and nephews. Each of them held a special place in her heart and will miss her dearly.

This is a sad day indeed. Nanette will be missed by so many friends. I remember making her floral headpiece for her wedding. Through the years, even though I moved away, we still kept in touch by phone calls or texts or emails, and I would come home occasionally and visit. It was always a wonderful time when you were around Nanette. And anywhere we went she knew somebody! She had great stories to tell and lots of laughs! She was also a very good listener and sincerely caring. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and Tony.

I knew Nanette back in our younger days and remember her as such a nice person. A Her mom and Dad were wonderful people and a guiding light for Nanette and her family and by proxy...many of her friends. We will remember her fondly and keep her in our thoughts and prayers. Jesus has reserved a special place for her in heaven.

So sorry for your loss, sitting here reading about Nanette all I can remember of her was she always a happy young girl, always smiling and very easy to talk to. Sometimes she was a little crazy but in a fun way she always had a way about her that made you feel happy. She may have left this earth but Nanette will always be in the hearts of her family, friends and people that she has done things in her life that will be treasured and will always shine in many ways that only she will continue to do with the love from her family and her friends.
