Lee Masone
July 16, 1925 — June 2, 2018
Lee P. Masone, 92, a lifelong resident of Stamford passed away in the arms of her loving family on Saturday, June 2, 2018 at Long Ridge Acute Center. She was born in Stamford on July 16, 1925, the youngest daughter of the late Raffaele and Maria Louise Lobozza.
Dearly loved by her family and friends, Lee was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and very well respected in the Stamford business community. She was ahead of her time in fashion and business. In 1944, Lee and her sister Jane established their own business Janie Lee Decorators, a Bedford Street landmark.
Lee was a remarkable woman with boundless energy and a strong sense of duty for her family and her profession. Her tireless work and devout tenacity served her well throughout her life. And even in her waning months, Lee was a model of strength, strong will and sheer determination right up until the end of her journey here on earth. There is no tragedy in a life well lived, but there is a loss. Lee will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by her family and friends.
Lee is survived by her devoted husband of 68 years, Anthony Joseph Masone; two beloved daughters, Janielee Masone of Stamford and Barbara D’Amario (Dean) of Colorado; her #1 and only son, Wayne Masone (Aileen) of Wilton; five precious grandchildren; Nicole and Steven Quail, Caitrin and Seamus Masone, and Anthony D’Amario; her sister and closest friend, Jane Wasco; and many dear nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, Lee was preceded in death by her brothers; Frank Labazzo, Ralph (Sonny) Lobazzo, and Victor (Wouie) Labozzo, and her nephews; Drew Wasco, Michael Labozzo, and Mark Labazzo.
