Carmela Venditti August 30, 1923 – February 02, 2019 Share this obituary View/Sign Guest Book WATERBURY Carmela Venditti “Loving Mother, Grandmother & Great Grandmother” Carmela (Zeoli) Venditti, 95, of Waterbury, departed from this Earthly world early February 2, 2019 surrounded by her loving children and entered into eternal life where she will reunite with her beloved husband Guerino Venditti and many other family and friends. Carmela was born in San Croce, Del Sannio, Italy on August 30, 1923, daughter of the late Sebastiano and Cristina (Catallo) Zeoli. Carmela came to the United States in 1968 with her three children to join her husband Guerino and worked for Waterbury Buckle until her retirement where she made lifelong friends.
Carmela will always be remembered for her caring nature. She took care of every single person who entered her life, especially her husband who fell ill in his latter years. Family was her number one priority; she was the happiest when her home was full of love, laughter and her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Carmela loved to tell stories and she could make the entire room laugh with her sense of humor. She loved to cook which was evident as you entered her home and there was always a pot cooking on the stove. Her family will miss her homemade cavatelli and fresh bread the most.
Winemaking and drinking the fruits of her labor were a passion of hers as well. And if you couldn’t get in touch with her via telephone, it was probably because she was outside planting in her abundant garden, chatting with neighbors, or simply soaking up the sunshine on her porch. Her yard and garden were her pride and joy and she was proud to share to fruit of her labor with everyone.
Carmela made a lasting impression on everyone she met and will be greatly missed. Her family is so fortunate to have had their mother, grandmother, and great grandmother a part of their lives for so long. Carmela leaves behind to cherish her memory her three children; Angelo Venditti and his wife Paula of Waterbury, Lisa Mottillo and her husband Tony of Waterbury and Maria Cristina Rosa of Waterbury.
She also leaves behind her seven grandchildren; Lora Venditti-Rodriguez and her husband Marc, Enzo Rosa, Sabrina Mancini and her husband Libero, Angelo Venditti and his wife Paulette, Michelle Rosa, Nina Colon and her husband Paul and Carissa Mottillo as well as all of her great grandchildren; Brianna, Marisa, Arden, Marc Jr., Angelo III, Nicky, Ella, Analise and Enzo as well as several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her two brothers; Luigi and Giovanni Zeoli.
