Joyce Speziale

August 28, 2018

Joyce Speziale, 75, a lifelong resident of West Hartford, died on August 28, 2018. She was the daughter of the late Dominick and Bernice (Kalinowski) Speziale. Joyce was a graduate of Conard High School, Class of 1960. She was a career employee of the State of Connecticut, initially with the Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation and more recently, a medical transcriptionist at the UConn Health Center in Farmington, from which she retired in 1998. Joyce enjoyed summers at Harkness Memorial State Park in Waterford, attending Hartford Stage Co. performances, and playing Scrabble. She crocheted countless beautiful blankets for donation to Children's Service Organizations both in the United States and abroad. She will be remembered for her ebullient personality, loving nature, quick wit, and resilience in the face of multiple physical challenges. Joyce will be missed immensely. She leaves behind her sister, Bette Speziale of Columbus Ohio, her brother, Robert Speziale and her brother-in-law, John Weiser, of Phillipsport, New York, and many cousins and close friends. She was devoted to her beloved companions Kookie, Rosie, Abbey, Elvira, Jazmin, and Sallie Mae, to name only a few. Services will begin on Friday, August 31 at 9:00 a.m. at the Molloy Funeral Home, 906 Farmington Ave., West Hartford, departing at 9:45 a.m. for a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m. at St. Thomas the Apostle Church, 872 Farmington Ave., West Hartford, with interment in Mount St. Benedict Cemetery, Bloomfield. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Connecticut Humane Society, 701 Russell Road, Newington, CT 06111 or New Horizons Village, 37 Bliss Memorial Road, Unionville, CT 06085. Directions and online expressions of sympathy may be made at www.molloyfuneralhome.com
