Ann Farrell

Lorraine Farrell, as she was affectionately known to her family and friends, passed away peacefully at her residence in Stamford on November 25, 2025 at the age of 90. Born on December 21, 1934, in Stamford, Connecticut, she was the cherished daughter of the late George and Loretta Murphy Farrell and the youngest of five sisters.

Throughout her life, Ann was a beacon of love and support for her family, lovingly known as "Aunt Lorraine" to her 17 surviving nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her four beloved sisters and their husbands: Elizabeth "Betty" Brown (Bill), Alice DeFrancesco (Aldo), Mary Lou Kerr (Matthew), and Dorothy Nestor (James). The bonds she shared with her sisters were strong and deep-rooted, reflecting the love they had for one another throughout their lives.

Lorraine grew up on Hill Street in Stamford, where she created countless memories with her family. Following her schooling, she attended secretarial school and forged a successful career as an Executive Secretary and later as a paralegal at Champion International. Her professional journey was marked by dedication and hard work, traits that she carried through in her personal life as well.

Those who knew Lorraine would describe her as someone who led an active lifestyle. She was an enthusiastic member of the "Ski Bears" ski club of Norwalk, and her adventurous spirit took her skiing on slopes around the world. She was passionate about travel as she loved exploring new destinations. Lorraine was also a faithful parishioner of St. Mary R.C. Church in Stamford. Even in her retirement years, Lorraine remained very active, participating regularly in water aerobics classes at the Tully Center.

A mass of Christian burial will be celebrated on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, at St. Maurice Church, located at 358 Glenbrook Road, Stamford, CT, beginning at 10:00 AM. Following the mass, she will be laid to rest at St. John Cemetery in Darien, CT.

Lorrain's legacy of kindness, love, and spirit will continue to resonate with her family and friends. She will be missed, but her memory will remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

Ann Marie Greco, passed away peacefully at the blessed age of 99 on Tuesday, November 25, 2025. Ann was born on November 1, 1925, in Port Chester, New York, Daughter of the late William and Maire Bracciale Bologno.

A proud 1945 graduate of Port Chester High School, Ann initially explored cosmetology but soon followed her heart to her true vocation: nurturing the next generation. She poured her love into the community as a reading paraprofessional in Port Chester elementary schools for over 40 years, where her patience and kindness left an indelible mark on countless children. Her life was anchored by unwavering faith as a longtime parishioner of Sacred Heart Church and a member of the Columbiettes. A devout Catholic, she never missed Mass, attending faithfully in person for as long as she could and remaining spiritually connected through television in her later years.

Ann’s hands were rarely still, as she was constantly creating beauty for those she loved. She was an artist at heart, meticulously building ceramic Christmas trees that have now become cherished family heirlooms, and her kitchen served as the joyful heart of every holiday. Her family will forever miss the aroma of her famous Spritz cookies and Easter pies—traditions she baked with pure love. Above all, Ann’s greatest happiness was found in her role as a grandmother and great-grandmother. She cherished every moment spent with the youngest generations of her family, leaving behind a legacy of warmth, faith, and devotion that will be deeply missed.

Ann is survived by her loving daughter Cheryl Moore and her husband Bruce of South Carolina, her cherished grandchildren, Kimberly Moore-Kolman and her husband Jonathan of Stamford and Bruce Moore, Jr. and his wife Lauren of Stamford, along with her adored great-grandchildren James, Jonathan, Giavanna, William and Jospeh, and several nieces and nephews.

Richard "Rick" Joseph Vaughan

Richard Joseph “Rick” Vaughan passed away on November 20, 2025, peacefully and surrounded by his closest loved ones after a long, hard-fought fight with pancreatic cancer. Born on May 27, 1952, in Doonbeg, County Clare, Ireland, he was the son of the late Richard Vaughan and Margaret (Naughton) Vaughan.

Rick was a devoted husband, having shared 42 years of marriage with his beloved wife, Cathy Ellen Vaughan (deceased). Their life together was a testament to loyalty, laughter, and steadfast partnership.

A loving father, Rick is survived by his three children: Kristina (David) Danehower of Bristol, Maine; Megan (John) Duffy of Stamford, Connecticut; and Michael (Allison) Vaughan of Stamford. He was deeply proud of his three grandchildren: John and Kiera Duffy of Stamford, and Anya Vaughan-Wood of Brooklyn, New York.

Rick’s family extended far beyond his immediate circle. He is survived by his siblings: Mary O’Brien of Ruislip, England; Patricia (Tony) Muffet of Bristol, England; John (Maura) Vaughan of Doonbeg, County Clare; Ann (Joseph) Whelan of Kilrush, County Clare; Philip (Marian) Vaughan of Doonbeg; Thomas (Yvonne) Vaughan of Brandon, Florida; and Helen Hurst of Kilkee, County Clare, as well as 28 nieces and nephews.

In the early 1970s, Rick immigrated to the United States, making Stamford, Connecticut his home for over 30 years, before later moving to Stratford. Though he built his life here, his love for Ireland remained strong; he returned often to his native County Clare to reconnect with family and celebrate his heritage.

Professionally, Rick dedicated 33 years to the Engineering Department at Stamford Hospital, while also running a contracting business that reflected his passion for craftsmanship and quality.

Rick’s passions went beyond his work. He was an aviation enthusiast—earning his pilot’s license in Danbury, Connecticut, in the 1980s—and actively participated in several local flying clubs. He regularly attended major air shows, including Sun ’n Fun in Florida and Oshkosh in Wisconsin. Rick also loved cars and attending local car shows, building model airplanes, and helicopters, and spending peaceful hours watching planes take off from Sikorsky Airport, especially from the Windsock Inn in Stratford.

He was deeply involved in his community and was a longtime member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, serving on its board with dedication and where he made many lifelong friends.

Rick’s family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the incredible doctors and nurses at Stamford Hospital and the Bennett Cancer Center, whose unwavering care and compassion supported him throughout his illness.

Family and friends may call at the Nicholas F. Cognetta Funeral Home & Crematory, 104 Myrtle Avenue, Stamford, on Monday, November 24, 2025 from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

Under his guidance, teams achieved a regional championship in the 16-year-old division and participated in multiple World Series tournaments across the country. Baseball was the love of his life whether he was watching the Yankees, coaching his players, or sharing his love of the sport with others that loved it just as much as him.

Ernest William Shoemaker

Ernest William Shoemaker, born June 19, 1969 in Philadelphia, PA, died November 6, 2025 at his home in Stamford, CT after a brief, courageous battle with an extremely aggressive form of cancer. He is predeceased by his mother: Cordelia Mawson, and father: John C. Shoemaker, his brother: James Shoemaker (Petri Pieron), his step-sisters: Michele Phillips and Melissa Welsh (David), and survived by his son: Bradford Shoemaker, brother: John R. Shoemaker (Alex), best friend and godfather to Bradford: Conor Flynn (Kristine), former spouse: Trudy Appling, step-parents: Robert Mawson, and Julie Shoemaker, step-siblings: Monique Mawson, Mark Mawson, Gretchen Kuester, and Stephen Kuester, uncles: Roland McDuell, and Ernest McDuell, cousins: Dawn McDuell, Alyssa Raser (Eric), Shawn McDuell, and Ernie McDuell (Christina), nieces: Natalie Shoemaker, Julia Phillips (Ahmad Nasiri), Chelsea Thornton (Kaine), and Devyn Mangieri (Mark).

Ernie attended Wissahickon and Central Bucks West high schools, and graduated from Allentown College (DeSales University) with a Bachelors in Theatre Arts. As a child, Ernie was one of the youngest students selected to study advanced mathematics in Julian Stanley’s Center for Talented Youth (CTY) program at Johns Hopkins several years after its founding. After college, Ernie joined Lehman Brothers, embarking on a 30-year career in Finance, where he would come to be widely recognized as an expert in the valuation and technology of complex financial instruments. He was a member of the Bryn Athyn Church congregation in Bryn Athyn, PA.

Gifted with a quick wit and wry sense of humor, Ernie loved comedy in all its forms, and suffered many ignominies for his ‘unseriousness.’ But he reserved his deepest, most loyal sternness and devoted passion for his love of family; his son, and many cherished friends.

Services will not be held by the family at this time, but in celebration of Ernie’s life and love of living, many informal gatherings of remembrance attended by friends, family, and colleagues honor his passing. Ernie’s family are so grateful for the outpouring of love in online postings, and many phone calls and messages. Ernie remarked frequently over the past months about the miraculous abundance of love that he found surrounding him at the most difficult times.

Roseann DeCamillo

Roseann DeCamillo, born in Stamford, passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 9, 2025, at Brighton Gardens in Stamford. She was the daughter of the late Carmine and Rose (Pastore) Concilio.

Roseann’s early years were marked by academic achievement and a love of learning. She graduated from Sacred Heart Academy, class of 1946, and went on to earn her Bachelor of Science in Journalism from Our Lady of Good Counsel in White Plains. Roseann was proud to be the first in her family to attend college, setting a wonderful example for future generations. Her passion for writing led her to a fulfilling career at The Stamford Advocate, where she worked for ten years, making lasting contributions and friendships while teaching ESL to night school students.

Never one to stop striving for success, Roseann pursued further education, earning a Master’s in Education. She then transitioned to a rewarding career in teaching at Stamford High School, where she inspired countless students with her dedication, wisdom, and kindness. Roseann’s commitment to education and her community was evident in all she did. While at SHS, she obtained her Sixth-Year Certificate in Guidance Counseling. She later transitioned from teaching to the Guidance Department, where she eventually became the Head of Guidance. After 25+ years of dedicated service, she retired to enjoy the next chapter of her life.

Roseann’s love of family and friends was immeasurable, and her selflessness unmatched. She lovingly cared for her husband, Nick, from their marriage through his final breath truly living the vow “until death do us part.”

In retirement, she filled her days with travel, volunteering at her favorite church, and spending time with family. One fun fact that brought her lifelong pride was that she was the first member of her family to attend and graduate from college, a milestone that her parents celebrated with a party so grand it was said to have had more guests than most weddings.

Roseann lived a life defined by compassion, commitment, and grace. She will be deeply missed by all who were fortunate enough to know and love her. She was pre- deceased by her husband, Nicholas DeCamillo, her sister, Patricia Parker, (Grover “Skip”) brother-in-law Gunnar Montaine, brother Andrew Concilio (Mabel) and her beloved cousin SP/4CL James J. Pastore, US Army. Roseann is survived by her sister Mary Montaine, nephew and end of life care giver, Grover Parker 3rd, nieces COL (Dr.) Mary Candace Concilio (Ret), Kathryn R. Rodriguez and nephew Richard Concilio. As well as many great nieces, nephews and cousins.
