Mary "May" Buzzanca, 84, of Trumbull, died peacefully surrounded by her loving family on February 23. She was born in Bridgeport on November 1, 1932, a daughter of the late Joseph and Anna Lukackyk Karpuk.

Mrs Buzzanca's two sons and their families, Gary M. and Laura Buzzanca and their children Garrison and Anna, all of Newtown, and David J. and Patty Buzzanca and their children Emily and Michelle, all of Stratford; her sister, Olga Katsis of North Carolina; as well as several nieces and nephews survive her. Her brother, John Karpuk, predeceased her.

She was the devoted wife to the late Salvatore "Sam" Buzzanca, her one true love who she met at the young age of 14. She cherished the time spent with her grandchildren, never missing a chance to see them play one of their many sports. She worked at Remington Arms and as a part-time waitress, but her real calling was that of a homemaker, wife, and loving mother. Dinnertime and family gatherings were cherished times.

Over her years living in Trumbull, Mrs Buzzanca developed many lasting friendships while playing her favorite game of bridge, going to Broadway plays, traveling, or taking a trip to the casino. Those who knew her said she touched many lives with her kind and caring nature.

Family and friends are invited to attend the funeral service on Saturday, March 4, at 10 am, in the Holy Ghost Russian Orthodox Church, 1510 East Main Street, Bridgeport, with Father Steven Belonik officiating. Interment will follow in Long Hill Burial Grounds, Trumbull.

Friends may greet the family on Friday, March 3, from 4 to 8 pm, in the The Abriola Parkview Funeral Home, 419 White Plains Road, Trumbull, with Panikhida service at 5 pm in the funeral home.
