Mrs. Amalia Palmieri

October 14, 1937 — October 13, 2025

WATERBURY - It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Amalia (Mazzettini) Palmieri, a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, who departed this life on October 13, 2025, at the age of 87.

Amalia was the loving wife of the late Raffaele Palmieri for 64 years. Born in Gioia, Sannitica, Italy on October 14, 1937, Amalia was the heart of her family and a beacon of warmth to all who knew her. Her kitchen was always filled with the comforting aromas of home-cooked meals, lovingly prepared and joyfully shared. She believed that food was a way to bring people together, and her recipes will live on in the hearts of those she nourished and loved.

Her greatest joy came from spending time with her family. Whether hosting holiday gatherings, playing cards, or simply tending to her garden, Amalia found beauty in the everyday moments. Her green thumb transformed every space she touched into a haven of color and life, and her love for cooking and gardening was matched only by her love for her family and friends around her. Our family thanks you Mom, for every prayer you uttered for us, for the many sacrifices you made for us, for the thousands of hugs you shared with us and the unending love you instilled in all of us. May she enjoy everlasting peace reunited with her beloved Raffaele and her sons, in the loving arms of our Lord and Savior.

She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, resilience, and unconditional love. She is survived by her four daughters, Maria Mancini Palmieri and her partner Jose Borges of Beacon Falls; Pierina Goncalves and her husband Carlos of Waterbury; Patrizia Aleandri and her husband Thomas of Woodbury; Rosaria Yardito and her husband Domenic of Bethlehem. She leaves behind 13 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren, who will carry forward her spirit and values. She also leaves behind her brother, Michele Mazzettini and her sisters; Natalina Panzin, Pierina Pizzasegola and Inessa Foroni all of Italy. She was predeceased by her two sons, Antonio and Umberto Palmieri and three brothers Salvatore, Domenico and Carmine.

Funeral services will be held Monday at 10:30 a.m. from Casey’s Eastside Memorial Funeral Home, 1987 East Main St at Southmayd Rd Waterbury, CT 06705, to St Leo’s the Great Church 14 Bentwood Dr Waterbury to celebrate a Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 a.m. Entombment will follow at Calvary Queen of Peace Mausoleum.
