Obituary of Nara Amoruso

Nara Amoruso, 87, mother of Tisha Amoruso Saffa of Darien, CT, died Sunday, June 29, 2014 at her residence in Stamford, CT. Nara was born in Siena, Italy to Livia and Palmiro Brogi and was the wife of the late Victor Amoruso, American WWII veteran and OSS war hero. They made their home in Howard Beach, NY, for more than 40 years, where Nara was a devoted mother and excellent homemaker, as well as an accomplished seamstress and cook. She was a gifted artist who loved music, especially opera, enjoyed theatre, crafts, and travel, and had a passion for all things beautiful. She was proud of her Tuscan heritage and her beloved Italy. Her first thoughts, however, were always with her family, and she cherished her time with them above all else. Nara was predeceased by her husband Victor, daughter Diane, and brother-in-law Michael Sepe. She is survived by her sister Giuliana Sepe of Monroe Township, NJ; her children, Raymond Amoruso and his wife Tess of Norfolk, VA, Michael Amoruso of New York, NY, and Patricia Saffa of Darien, CT; and her five grandchildren, Zachary, Ryan and Liliana Saffa, and Jacklyn and Livia Amoruso.
