Florence M. Natale

Florence Marie Marranzino Natale, age 99, of Trumbull, beloved wife of the late Arpia “Peter” Natale, passed away peacefully on May 11, 2022, in her daughter’s residence with her loving family by her side. She was born on April 2, 1923 in Bridgeport and was the daughter of the late Philip and Rose Nastasia Marranzino. Flo loved her family, cooking, baking, shopping and getting her hair and nails done. Her favorite color was pink and she loved anything that sparkled. Flo made sure she and her husband, Pete, always matched for all occasions. She worked at Park City Packaging for 32 years and at Pack-All for five years until her retirement. As a young woman, she was a caregiver for her sisters and maintained a close loving relationship with them until their deaths. She was an adoring mother to her only child, Carol. Flo and her soulmate, Pete built their own home in Bridgeport where they lived happily for 22 years before moving to Trumbull, where they resided with their daughter, Carol and son-in-law, Tom and their family. Although her early years were difficult, she met and married the love of her life and enjoyed a contented life for 72 years. Flo was always kind and sweet. She appreciated everything that was done for her and she loved her family fiercely. Her last days were peaceful, as she was surrounded by her devoted family. She leaves us with great sadness and precious memories. Flo is also survived by her daughter, Carol Ann Donegan and husband, Tom of Trumbull; adoring grandchildren, Dawn Gresik and husband Ted of Oxford, Kirk Donegan-DelMastro of Chesire and Jeff Donegan and wife, Eleana of Beacon Falls; great-grandchildren, Caitlyn, Nicholas and Aiden Donegan, Joshua and Matthew Gresik, and several nieces, nephews and friends. In addition to her beloved husband, Pete of 72 years, Flo was also predeceased by one grandson, Anthony DelMastro; one brother, Rocco Marranzino; two sisters, Mary Roberto and Rose DeGeralomo and one brotherin-law, John DeGeralomo.
