Mrs. Carol Ann Quaranta

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our beloved mother and grandmother Carol Ann Quaranta surrounded by her loving family on November 28, 2025. She was born in Brooklyn, NY on May 14, 1947, to the late Carlo and Mary (O’Reilly) Pannone. She married her sweetheart Joseph and settled in Gerritsen Beach, where she raised her family. She was the office manager for the medical offices of Drs. Elefeterakis, Peloro, and Bono for many years. She was passionate about her work and was a consistent source of support and compassion for countless patients who crossed her path over the years. Her greatest passion was her love for her family, especially her grandchildren, Jimmy Coffey, Emma Quaranta and Maya Quaranta. She attended countless events and holiday festivities in New York and Connecticut. She also loved traveling with her family accompanying them to Aruba, Disney World, Atlantic City, and many more. She was a renowned cook with a fierce “Sunday Gravy” and perfectly cooked chicken cutlets. Her numerous desserts including “Boomie’s Cookies” and chocolate covered pretzels were much anticipated at holidays and parties. One of Carol’s greatest joys was shopping, and she had a knack for finding the perfect gift, especially for children. She was known wherever she went for her signature red hair and perfectly manicured nails. She was affectionately known as “Beemaw”, “Boomie” and “Momma Quaranta” to family and friends. She leaves an unforgettable legacy of a spunky spirit, keen sense of humor and incredible strength. She will be missed beyond words, and we are forever grateful for the time that we had and them memories that we made. She is predeceased by her loving husband Joseph and her sister Rose Marie Pannone. She is survived by her daughter Tara Quaranta and her son and daughter-in-law Dr. Joseph and Marci Quaranta. She leaves her beloved grandchildren James Coffey, Emma Quaranta, Maya Quaranta and her favorite furry granddogs Loki and Teddy. Visiting hours will be held at James P. Byrnes Funeral Home on Friday November 12 from 4-9 and a mass of Christian burial at Resurrection Church on December 13th at 9:30 AM, followed by interment at Evergreen Cemetery.
