Remembering Patricia “Patty” Bracnaro Banfe

October 17, 2025

An older woman with short brown hair smiles while sitting on a bench outdoors. She is wearing a black top with white embroidery, and there is a tree and green grass in the background.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Patricia “Patty” Bracnaro Banfe, a lifelong Shelton resident, dedicated educator, and longtime friend to the Valley Community Foundation.

Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with her husband, William, her daughters Jennifer and Jayne, and the entire Banfe and Bracnaro families.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made to the Banfe Family Fund through the Shelton High School Endowed Scholarship Fund.
