Born in Torella Dei Lombardi, Italy
WATERBURY - Maria Immaculata Cozza Parziale, age 94 of Waterbury, passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 12th, 2021 at Cheshire House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center after a long illness.
Maria was born December 7th, 1927 in Torella Dei Lombardi, Avellino, Italy. She was the eldest daughter of the late Michele and Beatrice Cozza. Maria emigrated to the United States with her then husband, Michele, in 1958, settled in Waterbury and became a United States citizen. She was a well-regarded seamstress who worked at Worth's Department Store from 1964 until its closing in 1988. She then worked at Mar-Vic Cleaners until 1998. In her retirement, she spent time with family and helped raise her beloved granddaughter, Olivia. Maria was an excellent cook, faithful and loyal parishioner of Saints Peter and Paul Parish, as well as the 10:00 a.m. daily masses on ORTV. She will be greatly missed by all who were blessed to know and love her.
Left to cherish her memory are her son, Robert (Bob) Parziale, (fianceé Lonnie Cavanaugh), and loving granddaughter, Olivia Parziale, with whom she made her home. She also leaves her remaining siblings in Italy: Luisa D'Agostino, Antionette Rocca, Enzo Cozza, Antonio Cozza as well as many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by three siblings: Giuseppe Cozza, Teresa Taddeo, and Mario Cozza.
