With solemn reverence, we commemorate Kristen DeFranzo-Rachuba of Waterbury, Connecticut, whose life came to an end on September 11, 2025 at the age of 42, leaving behind cherished memories. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Kristen DeFranzo-Rachuba to show support.
In the hush of twilight, as the stars twinkle in silent homage, we reflect on the legacy Kristen leaves behind and her impact on the lives of her loved ones. Though Kristen may no longer walk among us, her spirit lives on in the memories held dear by her family and friends, a guiding light that illuminates their paths in times of darkness.
She was loved and cherished by many people including: her parents, John DeFranzo and Diane DeFranzo (Carrah); her daughter Lily; her brother Jeffery DeFranzo (Christine) of Watertown; and her nephews, Domenic, Vincent and Nicholas.
A Mass of Christian burial will be held on Thursday, September 18th 2025 at 10:00 AM at the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church (825 Highland Ave, Waterbury, CT 06708).
