Eleanor Ann Pallotto, 80, of Hamden died Sept. 28th at home with her family by her side. She was the loving wife of Albert Pallotto. Born in New Haven April 14, 1942, daughter of the late Julia Fiore Paoloni, Eleanor worked for many years as a secretary at the Yale Divinity School. Eleanor gave everyone more reason to live happier, to be thankful for any and everything they were able to accomplish...to just wake up each day able bodied, walk outside seeing the sun shining, the trees, the air we breathe was a gift she made us understand. Eleanor gave us confidence and peace of mind to count on her and one another. Always trying to be the best mother, wife, and friend she could be, we are all blessed to be a part of her. Eleanor only wanted the best for her friends and family. This message is not meant to be saddening, it is to let us know Eleanor is still here with us, inside us all, she will remain with all of us that knew and loved her and cared so much about her. You will see signs of Eleanors presence in your lives as you carry out your days and obligations. So loved by everyone around her, she will be living amongst us in spirit and in our minds. Be happy today, be happy we have Eleanor always inside us. A wonderful person we grew with that inspired our lives and all her good outweighed any bad that came our way.

Besides her husband she is survived by sons; Albert Jr. (Michalina) Pallotto of Clinton, and Michael (Sharon) Pallotto of Hamden, sisters; Peggy O'Connell of Florida, and Jeann Terrazano of Madison. At the request of the family all services were privately held Oct. 2nd in the Peter H. Torello & Son F.H. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the charity of one's choice.
