Ida “Cookie” Spallone departed from us with amazing peace on March 6, 2018. She was 75.
Born on April 16, 1942, to the late Ida and Lauren Henderson, in Shelton, Cookie married George Spallone on March 22, 1969, and later separated.
She was a devoted single mother and homemaker who was creative, funny, resourceful and strong.
She enjoyed the outdoors, long walks, cooking, time with her children and had a deep rooted love of animals and music; which has transcended through to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
