Clara Rose Faustine Fabrizi, age 76, of the Huntington section of Shelton, beloved wife of the late Albert Rocco Fabrizi Sr., was called home by our Lord Jesus Christ on Sunday, April 09, 2017 while at her home with her loving and devoted family keeping constant vigil. Born in Bridgeport, she was the daughter of the late Joseph and Clara Silvestri Faustine.

Clara was a selfless spiritual woman of incredible faith, who always put God and family as her top priorities. She carried herself humbly with grace, poise, integrity and class. Her life exemplified what it meant to be a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend and always had a smile on her face and a song in her heart. She left an indelible mark on her family with her generous and peaceful nature. Clara sang with an angelic voice, in the church choir, at nursing homes for the elderly, and funerals for friends and people she did not know.

Survivors include her beloved children, a daughter and best friend, Lisa L. Koterbay and her husband John of Shelton, two sons; Albert R. Fabrizi Jr. and his wife Laura of Shelton, Anthony P. Fabrizi and his wife Jennifer of Oxford, a sister, Linda McKeon of Stratford, her loving grandchildren, Albert Rocco Fabrizi III, Rebecca Lauren Fabrizi, Danielle Claire Koterbay, Rocco Gianni Fabrizi and Anthony Mateo Fabrizi. She is also survived by several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased in addition to her husband by brothers, Frank and Joseph Faustine and sisters, Irene Benigno, Dorothy Hardy and Patricia Mata.
