Angela Carol Flammia

Angela Carol Flammia, 83, passed away on November 10, 2021 surrounded by her children and loved ones. She was born on March 31, 1938, in Torrington, the daughter of the late Frank and Adele (DelMedico) Albreada. Angela graduated from Torrington High School in 1956 and from the New York Polyclinic School of Radiology as the valedictorian of her class in 1958. She worked at St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center for 50 years, where she made beloved friends and met her future husband, Norbert Flammia. The pair were married in September of 1961 and lived in Thomaston until 1969, when they moved to West Hartford, where she lived happily for the rest of her life. She is survived by her four children, Dana Denault and her husband Brian of Simsbury, Mark Flammia and his fiancée Christina of Burlington, Lauren Yanosy and her husband James of West Hartford, and David Flammia and his wife Kelley of West Hartford; her grandchildren, Alexandria, Zachary and his wife, Harper, and Ashleigh Denault, Frank, Ana and Jena Flammia, Mia, Julia and Luke Yanosy, and Griffin, Grant, and Gwenyth Flammia. Other close surviving family members include daughter-in-law Christine Conte, and sisters-in-law Nancy Flammia and Cleo Albreada. She is also survived by several nieces, nephews, cousins, and many adored friends. She was predeceased by her husband, Norbert Flammia, her brothers Frank and Donald Albreada, her brother-in-law Frederick Flammia, and her sisters-in-law Rosalind Membrino and Eleanor Albreada. Angela was an avid reader and a talented seamstress, and closely followed the Boston Red Sox, the Dallas Cowboys, and the men’s and women’s UConn basketball teams. Most importantly, Angela was a steadfast friend and a devoted mother and grandmother, who gave generously of her time and talents. She loved being “Nonna” to her twelve grandchildren, attending all of their sports games, concerts, recitals, and other events, and gave to each of them unique support and love. Angela was very proud of her Italian heritage and enjoyed making authentic Italians dishes, like risotto, polenta and (the best) meatballs for her entire family. She was a devout Catholic and was a member of St. Thomas the Apostle Church for over fifty years. Angela was cheerful, hardworking, and singularly kind, and her spirit will live on in all her loved ones.
