Sylvia (Panzieri) Nordle, 90, of Manchester, died January 27, 2014 at Catholic Medical Center after a period of declining health.
She was born in Manchester on April 12, 1923 to Angelo and Lucia (Fabi) Panzieri. She graduated from Central High School and lived in Manchester for most of her life.
After her youngest child was born, she went to Sacred Heart Hospital School of Nursing and later became a Licensed Practical Nurse. She worked as an LPN at Sacred Heart Hospital and several Manchester area doctor’s offices including Doctor’s Pilpil and Arambulo. She also volunteered at Catholic Medical Center for many years.
Sylvia was most happy when surrounded by family and maintained a great sense of humor until the end. She had a strong love for angels and the Red Sox and was thrilled when the two worked together.
Her faith guided her through life. She was a communicant of St. Catherine Church where listening to its choir brought her peace.
She was predeceased by four siblings, Theresa Dusseault, Elena Paluzzi, Nello Panzieri and Livio Panzieri.
The family includes her husband of 67 years, John Nordle of Manchester; five children, Craig Nordle, Diane Coll and Marcia Barbas and her husband, Stephen, all of Manchester, Brian Nordle and his wife, Dolly, of Dunbarton and Pam Nordle of Weare; 10 grandchildren, Jessica, Tanya, Alissa, Brandon, Nathan, Heather, Christie, Haley, Kayla and Tina; 15 great grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews, all of whom she loved dearly.
