Nancy Masiello Obituary
Nancy J. Figlar Masiello passed away peacefully on February 5, 2022, nine days after her 91st birthday in Devon, Pennsylvania. Born on January 27, 1931, in Bridgeport, CT, Nancy was the daughter to the late Stephen C. and Jean Arnott Figlar, and sister to Audrey.
Nancy graduated from Bassick High School, Class of 1948. A long-time resident of Westport, CT, she was the wife of James E. Masiello, owner of the Masiello Bus Company in Westport. He preceded her in death in 1988. She was also preceded in death by a son, Mark Masiello.
Nancy was a thoughtful friend, both generous and kind. She had a deep sense of spirituality and love of God. She enjoyed the beach and all sports, especially golf. Her putting won her many tournaments at The Patterson Club. She loved to dance, had a great smile and a quick, sharp wit. She loved cooking and entertaining, the New York Giants, and word games of every sort.
In 2018, Nancy moved to Pennsylvania to be close to her daughter. She is survived by her children, Marnie Masiello of Chesterbrook, PA and James Masiello of Sarasota, FL; three grandchildren, Michele, Alexandra, and James Masiello; and several nieces and nephews. Nancy will be dearly missed.
A mass of Celebration will be held in the summer at St. Luke Church in Westport, CT. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Mark Masiello '83 Memorial Scholarship at Fairfield College Preparatory School, Attn: Development, 1073 North Benson Rd., Fairfield, CT 06824 https://www.fairfieldprep.org/giving

I am rather late for condolences about your mother's passing.
Your parents played a positive role in my life and career. Your father even helped get me my first job with IBM. Both during college and after the military (1969), I drove a school bus. I played golf with your mother when she came to FL to visit your grandmother and met up with Marnie for an evening in Palm Beach. I used to have a great deal of fun with your brother Mark - his nickname was "Peanut".
I live in Deerfield Beach, FL if you would like to connect.

I remember my godmother Aunt Nancy well and all the fun she was and had with my mother, her best friend from way way back. She was funny, kind and generous. It was always so much fun to visit the Masiello family with their extended family nearby.
My children had a lot of fun playing with granddaughter Michelle during visits to Lake Candlewood.
Nancy took Marnie and me on trip to NYC that included a cool Dayliner boat trip around Manhattan.
I´m trying to upload a photo of that but having trouble!
My love and condolences to the family.

"Aunt Nancy" was my mother, Kate Mullen's, best friend for life since high school and my sister, Maura's, godmother. To me she was my beautiful, classy, athletic, great cook, (except when I was younger I hated fresh green peppers and she always put them in a salad!) funny, sometimes quirky, humorous (sometimes off color,) extremely generous, always loving Aunt. There was no part of our lives she missed, either being there in person or talking to my mother about it. I will miss her presence on earth, but know she and Kate are whooping it up in another dimension. My love and condolences to her entire family and friends.

My condolences to all the Masiello's at this painful times. I did not know Nancy, but remember Coach Masiello back in 67' for the Fairfield Giants. Jim not only provided the bus for our away games, but also drove the bus. May Jim & Nancy Rest In Peace.
