Diana (Ruotolo) Munro, 88, of East Haven, passed away April 30 at CT Hospice in Branford. She was born March 4, 1935, in New Haven to Angelo and Anna (Lucibello) Ruotolo.

Diana is survived by her loving and devoted daughter Michelle Munro (Rusty Gordon) of Branford; a grandson she adored, Brady Gordon; one brother, William Ruotolo (Frances) of West Haven; and several nieces and nephews. Diana is preceded in death by her parents, sister Patricia Cassella, and brother Vincent Ruotolo.

Diana truly enjoyed life and prided herself on her independence. Diana thrived living at East Farms Village and created friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. She enjoyed many activities, including bocce, bingo, and many card games. She was the life of the party and killed it on the dance floor.

Diana’s family always came first. She absolutely loved being with family and showered them with her love and specially prepared meals.

Her family would like to extend an enormous thank you to the Connecticut Hospice in-home care team and to Rachelle Rivera and her team of amazing caregivers that helped make Diana’s last few months with us as comfortable as possible.

Family will receive friends from 9:30 a.m. until the time of service at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, May 5, in the Clancy-Palumbo Funeral Home (Clancy Funeral Home), 43 Kirkham Ave., East Haven, with burial to follow at East Lawn Cemetery, East Haven. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to CT Hospice, 100 Double Beach Road, Branford, CT 06405, in memory of Diana Munro.
