Mrs. Carol Marchesseault

NAUGATUCK – It is with heavy hearts that the family of Carol M. Marchesseault, age 92, of Naugatuck, shares the news of her unexpected passing at Saint Francis Hospital in Hartford on Friday, October 17th, 2025, surrounded by her loving family after a brief illness. She was the widow of Lucien G. Marchesseault.

Carol was born on November 25th, 1932, in Waterbury, CT, the daughter of the late Anthony and Lucy (Ricci) Ermeri. Carol embraced her role as a devoted wife and loving mother, where she cultivated a warm and welcoming environment for her family. For 68 beautiful years, Carol shared her life with her beloved husband, Lucien. Together, they turned their home into a haven of creativity and love, particularly through their joyful crafting endeavors. Lucien would skillfully cut out wooden crafts while Carol brought them to life with her artistic touch, creating beautiful decorations that adorned their home, especially during the festive seasons. A true homemaker at heart, Carol's passion for sewing and quilting was unmatched. She found great joy in visiting fabric stores, where the possibilities for her next creation sparked delight in her vibrant spirit. Sundays were marked by the aroma of homemade pasta and sauce wafting through the air, drawing family and friends together for beloved gatherings around the dinner table. Carol’s traditional Italian meals, often made with vegetables from her own garden, created lasting memories. Beyond her culinary talents, Carol enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. Her trips to Misquamicut beach allowed her to indulge in fresh seafood and find solace in reading a good book or trying her luck at the casino. Amidst her many adventures, she treasured her time spent with her sisters, sharing laughter and stories over tea.

The Marchessault family extends their deepest gratitude to the many caregivers and health providers who offered support and compassion during Carol's illness. A special acknowledgment is given to Cindy and Lorissa, and Caitlyn along with the dedicated staff at Saint Francis Hospital's MSICU, and to Vitas Hospice. Your care and empathy made a profound difference during this challenging time.

Left to cherish her memory and honor her life are her children, Michael Marchesseault of Naugatuck, Christopher Marchesseault, and his wife, Paula of Waterbury, and Lori McWeeney and her husband, Fran of Wolcott. She also leaves her siblings, Joan Jannetty of Oakville, Irene Parenteau of Prospect, her brother, Richard Ermeri of Waterbury. Carol and Lucien were blessed with four devoted grandchildren, Christopher and Colin Marchesseault, Drew Michael and Alicia McWeeney, and two great-grandchildren, Madeline and Savannah, as well as many nieces and nephews, other extended family members, and many friends. She was predeceased by her brothers; Vincent, Robert, and Paul Ermeri.
