Cecile devoted herself in marriage to the love of her life Henry J.

She and her husband retired to Florida in the late 1970’s. Her husband, Henry Mazzola passed away in
1994. She lived out most of her years until her death with her son Wayne Mazzola, until recently when she became infirmed and was then cared for by her daughter Sally Maulucci who also resides in Florida.

She was a generous and loving mother who always put her children first and provided wisdom, thoughtful advice and a moral compass to guide them. Among the many attributes she possessed, she always had a thankful heart and was never too busy to listen. She was a saved Christian and the anchor of our family. She will be missed by all until we see her again in Glory. Funeral arrangements are through Potter Funeral Home, 456 Jackson St, Willimantic, CT 06226.
