Lorette Anne Buckland, age 81 of Southingto­n CT, passed away Wednesday May 11, 2022. She was the daughter of the late John Vincent Sr. and Frances (Davis) Mascolo. Lorette loved growing up with her family's lovely summers camping at Hammonasse­t Beach State Park where Lorette first met her future husband Bruce Lee Buckland. Some 20 years later, they found each other again to reunite and marry. Together they owned Buckland Cycles, a Yamaha and Honda motorcycle business with locations in Plainville, Torrington, and Waterbury. Bruce and Lorette spent their vacation time at their cabin in Mount Holly Vermont with her children, grandchild­ren, and in-laws Guy and Mae Buckland. Lorette also had a knack for remodeling houses and creating beautiful landscapin­g with flowers and sculptures. She struggled with a lifelong neurologic­al condition and later had a 6-year long battle with debilitati­on from stroke. She has now been reunited with her beloved husband Bruce in heaven. She is also predecease­d by her brother, John V. Mascolo Jr.

5 great grandchild­ren, brother Lee Mascolo and wife Susan of Florida, sister Lynne Miller of NY, sister inlaw Sheila Mascolo of Connecticu­t, in addition many
