Monique Ann Dwyer

MIDDLETOWN CT- It is with profound sadness and broken hearts that the

family of Monique Ann (Primerano) Dwyer age 58 of Middletown, share the news

of her peaceful passing surrounded by the love and comfort of her family  on Friday, 

June 13, 2025 at Hartford Hospital after a valiant battle with cancer.

Monique was born in Suffern, NY on May 5, 1967, the daughter of the late

Joseph Michael and Barbara Joan (Medaglia) Primerano. She was educated in

local schools and was all about caring for others which led her to a very

rewarding experience as an EMT with New Britain EMS. Monique worked for

many years as an administrative assistant for the state of CT, court support

services, and just prior to her illness, a Patient Care Technician at Middlesex

Hospital in their Hospice Unit. There she found great joy caring for others at the

end of their lives. She was an avid reader, enjoyed excursions to the beach and

an occasional trip to the casino. Monique also enjoyed following sports and always

rooting for her favorite teams the NY Yankees and Giants. When she was feeling 

down or needed a laugh, she would reach out to her son Mark.

 One of her favorite pastimes was watching her favorite TV shows with her daughters. 

Monique was exceptional in almost every way but she excelled the most at being a 

devoted mother and sister. She was a stellar example of grace and class. 

Our family thanks you mom, for every prayer you uttered for us, for the many 

sacrifices you made for us, for thousands of hugs you shared with us and the

 unending love you instilled in all of us. She will be deeply missed but her warmth, 

kindness, generosity and loving compassion will be forever remembered by all 

who were blessed to know and love her. May her soul rest in eternal peace.

Left to honor her legacy and memory are her children; Mark Zocco and his

fiancé Karly Mulligan, and Megan and Caitlin Dwyer all of Middletown. She also

leaves her beloved sister, Zosh Flammia and her former husband and best friend

John Dwyer as well as other extended family members and friends.

Relatives and friends are invited to pay their respects and visit with Monique’s

family on Thursday, June 19, 2025 from 4:00 until 7:00 p.m. at Casey’s Eastside

Memorial Funeral Home and Cremation Care, 1987 East Main Street, Waterbury. Burial in the Dwyer
