Marie A. LaFlamme, 88, of Farmington, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Saturday, February 22, 2025 at Apple Rehab in Cromwell, CT. Born on June 29, 1936 in New Britain, CT, she was the daughter of the late Guido and Hilda Tosatti. She was predeceased by her husband Reginald LaFlamme who died on August 25, 1989. Marie graduated from New Britain High School in 1954. She lived most of her life in New Britain and obtained her first job at Stanley Works after graduating high school.

She was a parishioner of St. Joseph’s Church and was an active member of the Rosary Guild. Marie also enjoyed volunteering her time at the Hospital of Central CT in the cancer center, after losing her beloved husband of over 30 years to cancer in 1989. Her volunteer work at the hospital brought comfort and loving compassion towards others dealing with cancer. She had a friendly, upbeat way about her that helped others navigate through difficulties. Marie loved being with her family and was a stay at home mom who was a good listener, provided loving guidance, and was respectful and kind to all.
