Jacquelyn Fasulo

Jackie was born in North Attleboro MA on January 21, 1941, to Jack and Claire (Johnson) Diamond, the oldest of 6 children. She was a graduate of Hamden High School prior to marrying her husband John (Junie) Fasulo in 1961. Together they raised their 3 children initially in Branford and since 1973 in Madison, Ct. Besides an early career as a hairdresser, she and Junie also founded the family business, J & J Blasting Corp., owned the School House Deli for a couple years, and fully embraced life in this idyllic town.

Jackie was first and foremost a dedicated wife and mother. She and Junie were fully involved in their children’s activities growing up, constantly taking their kids and friends to the Mt Snow chalet or the beach cottage in Point Judith, RI. For a few years there was a Cancun condo to trek to and then in more recent times half of the year was lived in a beautiful condo in Florida. She was fortunate to have enjoyed several trips to Italy. Along the way Jackie became a dedicated and adored grandmother. Through many of life’s adventures Jackies best friend, Maryann Salatto, was a co-conspirator, some might say the original Thelma & Louise. In the last few years, she travelled less but enjoyed her time in her Madison home of almost 50 years with great grandchildren who adored their “GiGi”.

Jackie is survived by her daughters Sandy Carpenter (Jack) and Lyn Cox (Jerry). She is also survived by daughter in law Candi Fasulo, grandchildren Amanda Ortiz (Steven), Corrine Dittman (Matthew), Craig Henderson (Dana), Joe Fasulo (Samantha), Anna Fasulo & Junie Fasulo. Great grandchildren Michael Ian Cox, Jacquelyn and Benjamin Ortiz, Finley and Sydney Dittman and Madeline Henderson. Her sister Jill Ryan (Bill) who she enjoyed weekly shopping/lunch dates with, nephews Sean & Scott Ryan and their families, sister-in-law Connie Costanza & niece Melissa Costanza who she enjoyed holidays with, lifelong friend Aunt Laura Esparo, the entire Salatto clan, step daughter Stephanie Stach and many cousins, nieces and nephews, as well as Amanda’s bestie Samantha Morgillo who became another granddaughter to Jackie.

Jackie was predeceased by her husband John Fasulo, son John Fasulo III, and her grandson Michael William Cox, her siblings, Joyce, Jay, Jim and Jody as well as her second husband Fred Meglio.

Jackie was blessed to have her daughter Lyn as her daily companion and caregiver, with help from granddaughters Amanda and Corrine, and frequent visits and help from her daughter Sandy. Our family would like to give our sincerest thanks to the incredible hospice nurses of YNHH-Health at Home Guilford for their excellent care.

A Funeral Mass will take place 10am Saturday May 23, 2026, at St Margaret Church, 24 Academy St., Madison Ct. Reception to follow.
