Madeleine Terenzio (Romano), 58, of Stamford, CT passed away on October 14th, 2023 after a courageous battle with Glioblastoma Multiforme. Madeleine was born on August 27th, 1965 to Dorothy Palumbo and Albino Romano Sr. in Greenwich, CT. She was the youngest of five children.

Madeleine met her soulmate Steve Terenzio at Stamford Catholic High School and they enjoyed 41 beautiful years together. The light of their love will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of their children and grandchildren.

Madeleine and Steve owned and operated the beloved Instant Replay Sports in Stamford. For the last 31 years they’ve provided uniforms for numerous youth sports leagues in their community.

Their commitment to the community exemplified the true essence of a small business with a big heart.

Madeleine was a remarkable woman whose life was a testament to selflessness and compassion. Her unwavering commitment to volunteer work with the Red Cross showcased her deep sense of humanity and her desire to make a positive impact on those in need. Within her church community, she was a driving force for good, organizing numerous events, including the annual Toys for Tots drive, monthly sandwich making for the New Covenant House, prayer groups, and countless other activities which brought the congregation closer together. Madeleine was awarded the St. Augustine Medal of Service in 2012 for her extraordinary service and charitable work. She leaves behind a legacy of compassion and community that will continue to inspire all who were fortunate enough to know her. She always said that she was happiest when around her family, and she was able to spend the last six months doing what she enjoyed most. Madeleine even realized her dream of enjoying a beautiful trip to Waikiki beach with the love of her life.

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her brother, Thomas Romano. She is survived by her devoted husband of 34 years, Steve Terenzio, her son Stephen Terenzio, daughter Stephanie Terenzio Wrocklage and her husband James, adoring grandchildren Wesley, Juliette and Malcolm, brother Albino Romano (Cheryl), sister Gina Vitrella (Joe), sister Bianca Romano, as well as many loving brothers and sisters in-law, nieces, and nephews.

Joseph Cianciola was born in 1942 in Stamford, CT. to the late James and Angelina Greco Cianciola. His parents emigrated to the United States from Italy. Joseph was one of five children. He is predeceased by Isabelle Pomponi, MaryAnn Cianciola, and James “Jay” Cianciola Jr.
Joe’s Catholic faith and Italian heritage were a great source of pride, and helped shape who he was. He entered into eternal life October 6, 2023.
Joseph graduated J.M. Wright Technical School in Stamford, and became a tool & dye-maker working at Laminated Shim. Some years later, he changed tracks to work as a mechanic. His strong work ethic and honesty helped him to succeed. Eventually Joe became co-owner (with Mike Viscusi) of Herb’s Service Station in Shippan. Joe also owned another small-business, JJC Refuse, with his brother Jay. Even when running his businesses, Joseph was a self-less, honest and caring man – offering repairs on credit, giving his customers the best deals and always tinkering and trying to find solutions to problems.
Joe was the ultimate provider, a hard worker, and a generous and kind soul. He always prioritized caring and providing for his family, often working two jobs throughout much of his life. Even into retirement, Joe worked part-time at Vintage Motorcars LLC in Westbrook, CT where he was an asset to the company with his vast knowledge of cars.
Joseph is survived by his wife, Regina (“Reggie” DeLeo), two daughters, Gina Cianciola, Dana (Cianciola) Novorio, his son-in-law, Marco Novorio, and two grandchildren, Nicholas and Anna, and his remaining sister, Dolores Twardy and brother-in-law, Greg Twardy, in addition to his other loving sister- and brother-in-laws.
The family will have a mass for Joe at Sacred Heart RC Church, 37 Schuyler Avenue, Stamford, CT on Friday, October 20, 2023 at 11:00 AM. Followed by the entombment at St. John’s Mausoleum, Darien, CT. There will be no calling hours.
The family requests that donations be made in Joseph’s memory to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 262 Danny Thomas Place, Memphis, TN 38105
