Obituary for Joyce K. Giaccone (Parker)
Joyce K. Giaccone, 91, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on November 28, 2022.
Born in Montreal, Quebec, Joyce was predeceased by her parents Cecil Parker and May (Daughters) Brady, sister Dorothy (Parker) Breveleri and brother Ronald Parker. She was the beloved wife of the late Nicholas J. Giaccone for 48 years living most of her life in Enfield, CT after moving to the states to help her sister raise her niece.
Joyce enjoyed baking and cooking for her family and friends, always a neighborhood go-to. She loved spending time with her kids and family and the beach. She spent many years as an assistant cook for the Enfield Public Schools, retiring in 1988 to spend time with her grandchildren. Later in life she took an interest in water aerobics, enjoying the get-togethers with the wonderful friends she made along the way. She spent the last several years of her life cherishing time with her great-grandchildren.
