Millie D. Fonseca
NAUGATUCK – Millie Denise (Chicoine) Fonseca, 68, wife of Antonio Fonseca, joined her heavenly father on April 4, 2021. To all who knew her, it seems like fate that she embarked on her spiritual journey on the very day we celebrate the resurrection of Christ, because, above all, she was and will always remain a lover and follower of the Lord.
Millie was born in Manchester, N.H., on Aug. 28, 1952, to the late Raymond A. and Betty Jean (Brown) Chicoine. She was a graduate of Woodsville High School and because of her ever-compassionate, sweet, and nurturing soul, went on to nursing school.
James J. Miele
NAUGATUCK – James J. Miele, age 75, passed away on Wednesday March 3, 2021, at Saint Mary’s Hospital.
He was born in Naugatuck, Conn., on Dec. 30, 1945, son of the late Anthony Miele Sr. and the late Carmella (Palmieri) Miele.
Passion is not something that will eventually go away, it only burns brighter with age. The first thing Jim Miele does when his feet hit the floor every morning is to head off to the Naugatuck YMCA to shoot basketball. That’s pretty typical for a kid who loves the game of basketball, but hardly the norm for a 69 year old man. But as Miele says, “It’s in my blood.” Maybe he’s been spelling his name wrong all these years, and the name should be spelled Gym.
