Adeline "Addie" Dunakin

Adeline Amelia (Saccoccia) Dunakin, 91, of Lebanon, peacefully entered eternal life at her home with her loving family by her side on Sunday, March 16, 2025. Born in Hartford on April 23, 1933, a daughter of the late Edward and Salvatrice (Paladino) Saccoccia, she had been a resident of Enfield for over 33 years prior to moving to Lebanon 25 years ago. Prior to her retirement, Addie was employed for several years by Olympia Sales in Enfield. She was an avid reader and cross word puzzle solver. A bird lover, she liked sitting on her front porch watching the hummingbirds. She enjoyed traveling with her daughters to Florida, Disney World, Las Vegas, and on a cruise. Addie loved going out to breakfast and having her favorite, waffles, and a hot cup of morning coffee. She also looked forward to going to Dairy Queen for her favorite ice cream. Most of all, she was a proud and devoted mother and grandmother, who cherished every moment spent with her daughters and grandchild.

Adeline is survived by her three daughters, Laura Hathaway and her husband Peter of Lebanon with whom she made her home, Angela Dunakin of Lebanon, Sharon Mucci and her husband Michael of Enfield; and one adored grandchild, Dylan Rainville of Enfield. She also leaves several nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends. Besides her beloved parents, Addie was predeceased by her son, Stephen A. Dunakin of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
