Carolyn S. (Spiers) Passaro
Carolyn S. (Spiers) Passaro, of Stoneham, formerly of Stamford Connecticut, passed away peacefully on Wednesday April 3, 2024, with her family by her side. Carolyn was born on August 18, 1941 to Arthur Everett Spiers and Harriet (Ferris) Spiers. She was the oldest of three children and spent time between her home in Stamford and the family vacation home in Round Pond, Maine.
Carolyn attended the Stamford Hospital School of Nursing, where she received her pin in 1962. She met her beloved husband Eugene while working at the hospital, and they were married in 1979. Carolyn followed her husband to Stoneham for a job opportunity, and settled into the town she called her home for over 40 years. Carolyn worked in the Emergency Room at Winchester Hospital, and ended her nursing career at the Winchester Hospital Urgent Care Center in Wilmington, MA, from where she retired.
Carolyn was the amateur photographer of the family, with collections of photographs from her childhood until her final travels around the country years ago. She documented birthdays, anniversaries, road trips, and every day life with her camera. Carolyn was also an avid painter, gifting many of her works to friends and family over the years. She knit personalized Christmas stockings for each member of the family, and newcomers knew they were considered family when they were gifted with a stocking with their name on it.
Carolyn is the beloved wife of the late Eugene Passaro. She is the cherished mother of Jessica Passaro Bell and her husband Matthew. Step mother of Karen Passaro and Lisa Putzig. Loving grandmother of Ryan and Willow Bell, Katie and Maggie Donahue, Michele Faillaci, Janine, Andrew, Sara, and Rebekah Putzig. Devoted aunt of Julie Spiers Donahue and her husband Chris. She was predeceased by both of her siblings, Malcolm Spiers and Paul Spiers Holgerson. She is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews.
