Valerie Cordiano

Age - 72

December 2, 2023

"Sunrise: August 8, 1951 ~ Sunset: December 1, 2023 Valerie Bivona Cordiano, 72, beloved wife, mother, grandmother and counselor, passed away peacefully on December 1. She was surrounded by her husband and children. She is reunited with God after a 15 year courageous battle with cancer, leaving behind countless people touched by her kindness, generosity, intelligence and empathy. She is survived by her husband of 50 years, Dean; her four children, Alexis, Douglas, Benjamin and Emma; her grandchildren, Gabriel, Jason, Michael, Nicholas, Jack, Owen, Nico and Luca; her daughters-in-law Kristen and Andrea Cordiano; her son-in-law Dennis Durao; her dog, Archie; her sister Rosemarie Harrison and her brother John Bivona, as well as her nieces Kathleen Budd, Beth Bivona, Jill Bivona and Donna Harrison, and her nephew David Harrison. She was predeceased by her parents Nina and John C. Bivona, her brother-in-law Hugh Harrison, Dean's parents Domenick and Mary Cordiano, and her sister-in-law Sarah Budd. Valerie lived in West Hartford for 30 years and Madison, CT for the last 17 years. Her children continue her tradition of service, as they include a physician, two lawyers and a mental health counselor. Valerie was proud to have grown up in Brooklyn, N. Y. She graduated with honors from SUNY-Binghamton, held Masters Degrees from the University of Hartford and St. Joseph's College, and was a Marriage and Family Therapist for more than 25 years. In addition to helping private patients with their mental health issues, Valerie was a grief-counselor and was the Founder and Director for 22 years of the West Hartford site of The Cove, a grief program for children and their families who have experienced the death of a loved one. Valerie also received the St. Joseph Archdiocesan Medal of Appreciation for her volunteer work with the bereavement group of St. Timothy Parish. She was an extraordinarily gifted counselor and her work continues by her youngest daughter, Emma, who was the Director of Counseling at East Granby High School and is now in private practice in West Hartford. After her retirement from The Cove and her private practice, Valerie became an accomplished potter and exhibited her work at the Guilford Arts Fair. But at the risk of using a cliche, there was no greater joy in Valerie's life than spending time with her children and grandchildren. Ski and beach vacations were supervised by "Nonna" (or "Grammy" as she was known to Gabriel and Jason) and the memories of time spent in Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, Colorado and Vermont ski resorts, and the beaches of Madison, will resonate through the lives of her family. Valerie and Dean were high school sweethearts in Brooklyn. In more than 50 years of glorious marriage, she was the touchstone which gave meaning and dignity to Dean's life. Valerie taught high school in Raleigh N. C. while Dean attended Duke Law School. She supported Dean's rise in the Connecticut legal community and did not pursue her counseling career until the last of her children was in sixth grade, exemplifying once again her dedication to family. Although her passing is devastating, her family will choose to celebrate the beloved memories and lessons of Valerie's life: kindness, patience, love, sensitivity to the faults of others, and the willingness to put others' needs before her own. She always found the time to attend her children\u0027s (and now grandchildren's) sports and school events, and taught them that the outcome of the event was secondary to whether they gave their all and tried their hardest. The stresses of the day melted away when she greeted you with her warm smile and comforting hugs. And that included her physical interactions with her beloved dogs through the years. They will all be reunited with her on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. Valerie's passing illustrates the truism that God calls the best people to his side early and so lets them enjoy eternal peace sooner rather than later. All of her family will look forward to being united with Nonna when God wills it. Her loving example will help her family and friends understand and accept her untimely passing and its place in God's plan. Visiting hours at Molloy Funeral Home, 906 Farmington Ave. , West Hartford will be on Tuesday, Dec. 5 from 3-7pm. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Dec. 6 at 11am at the Church of St. Peter Claver, 47 Pleasant St. , West Hartford. A private burial will take place on Dec. 7. Donations in her memory may be made to The Cove Center for Grieving Children (www. covect. org) or the American Cancer Society (donate. cancer. org) Online expressions of sympathy may be made at www. molloyfuneralhome. com"Show more

Eileen Carvalho

Age - 58

December 1, 2023

Eileen Martin Carvalho, 58, devoted wife of and best friend to Marcelo Carvalho, and beloved daughter to John Joe and Maureen Sinon Martin (West Springfield, MA), passed away Wednesday, November 29, after a brave, two-year battle with cancer. Eileen was born on August 6, 1965, in Hartford, CT. She graduated from West Springfield High (MA) and earned her nursing degree from St. Joseph College, West Hartford, CT, Class of '87. She started her nursing vocation at Hartford Hospital and devoted her entire career to the compassionate care of her patients. While working at Hartford Hospital, she met her husband, Marcelo. They married in 2003 and went on to build their home in South Windsor, CT. Eileen was a caring and nurturing wife, daughter, friend, and nurse. She was always concerned for others' well-being. "Safety first" was her cautionary mantra. Eileen was devoted to her close-knit family. She was a "second mom" to her nieces and nephews who will be forever grateful for her presence in their lives. Eileen was also blessed with a group of friends who cared deeply for each other. They laughed together, cried together, and supported each other through both good and challenging times. She was unassuming but made her presence known with her quick wit and endearing sense of humor, playful pokes of fun, and her ability to make others laugh at themselves. She cleverly mimicked mannerisms and idiosyncrasies in what she observed in the world around her, all in good-natured fun. She was spirited and anyone who knew her, looked forward to being with her. Eileen was crafty, loved celebrating Christmas, was difficult to stump in 1970/80 music trivia, and was always a gracious hostess. She enjoyed traveling with Marcelo and especially enjoyed trips to Puerto Rico where she felt a warm attachment to the people there. Some of her fondest memories were summer vacations with extended family at Indian Neck Beach. She would often recall the love and the laughter shared during those special weeks in July. Eileen embraced all things Irish, including her loveable stubbornness. She very much enjoyed celebrating the "High Holiday" with her friends and attending the Hartford St Patrick's Day parades with her family. A toast with an "Irish cream" was always a favorite. Eileen was predeceased by her sister, Ann Marie Martin, and by numerous loved ones, all of whom she enjoyed close relationships with throughout her life. We are certain they will all be welcoming her with open arms. In addition to her husband and parents, Eileen will be sadly missed by her sister Theresa Martin (Wixom, MI), brother and sister-in-law, John and Jodie Martin (North Grafton, MA), brother-in-law Lucas Carvalho and his wife Tara (Weymouth, MA), brother-in-law Nicholas Carvalho and his wife Keylla (Windham, NH). She shared a special bond with her nieces and nephews, Jack and Ava Martin; Izzy, Lucia, and Maria Carvalho; and Seliana, Sarah, and Lucas Carvalho. Eileen also leaves behind several very beloved aunts, uncles, and cousins. After her diagnosis, and with Marcelo by her side every step of the way, Eileen bravely fought every day to live another. Her endurance, courage, and grace throughout her journey are a source of inspiration for all those who witnessed her overcome fear and adversity. Her drive to keep going was strengthened by the unmatched love and support of her family and her dear friends, especially Mary, Sharon, and Conna. Her family extends sincere gratitude to all who held Eileen's hand and her heart. Eileen will be fondly remembered by everyone who met her. She would want us to honor her legacy and keep her memory alive by taking care of each other, lifting each other up, and making each other laugh. We will miss you, Weenie. Love you. "Until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
