Frances C Naro

Born March 24,1937 - Died June 14,2026 (89)

Frances Carbonie Naro passed away peacefully surrounded by her children. She was a woman of great faith who lived a life devoted to God and her family. Frances was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend to all who knew her. She was preceded in death by her parents, Lena and Joe Carbonie; her beloved husband Joe Naro; her daughter Elizabeth Naro Saia; and sister Lenora DeMarco. She is survived by her sisters, Marie Romano, and her twin sister, Annie Marino. Left to cherish her memory are her children: Philip Naro (Tricia), Diane Naro Zicarelli (Philip), and Joe Naro (Cindy) and son in law, Joe Saia (Julie). Frances was blessed with 10 grandchildren who lovingly called her Mae Mae - Stephanie Zicarelli Bannon ( Chris), Elizabeth Ann Naro, Philip Zicarelli, Jr. (Ann Ellard),Michael Naro, Jacqueline Naro Moorer (Evan), Joseph John Naro III, Vincent Zicarelli III, Caroline Saia Parish (Travis), Julianne Naro Celeski (Jonah), and Joe Saia. She had 7 great grandchildren- Christopher, Blaise, and Benjamin Bannon, Frances Zicarelli, Liam and Riley Moorer and Colette Celeski.

Frances worked for America's First Credit Union for over 27 years until she retired. During that time, she held many positions, enjoyed her work, and made many dear friends through the years. Frances was a wonderful cook and as her husband would always tell her, was a beautiful person inside and out. She travelled the world with her husband, Joe, and cousins Joseph and Jackie Milazzo. She loved going on adventures and especially loved being at the beach with her family.

She will be greatly missed by her children, sisters, cousins, many nieces and nephews and friends. To know her was to love her.

Visitation will be Thursday June 18th at 9 AM and a rosary will be said before the 10 AM Mass of Christian Burial at Cathedral of St. Paul's, followed by the gravesite ceremony at Elmwood Cemetery. All are invited to attend.

We would like to thank all of the caregivers throughout the years for their love and support given to our mother.
