Marion Bosso Bartolini Obituary

#MIDDLEBURY

Mother of Karen B. Curry

Mrs. Marion Bosso Bartolini, 83, passed away peacefully in the Vitas Inpatient Hospice Unit at St. Mary’s Hospital in Waterbury Jan. 17, 2017, surrounded by her family.

Marion was born May 19, 1933, in Waterbury to Anthony and Helen (Mosgrove) Bosso. She grew up in Waterbury, graduating from Waterbury Catholic High School. Marion worked as a payroll clerk for Scovill Manufacturing, Century Brass and at UCONN Health Center until her retirement.

In her younger years, Marion enjoyed spending time with her friends ballroom dancing, something she enjoyed well through her later years. Marion was a member of Parents Without Partners, where she served as treasurer for several years. Throughout her life, she enjoyed doing crafts, some of which she turned into a business called Sweatshirts Plus. She would attend craft fairs of all kinds, selling specially made sweatshirts, bags and other hand-made wares. She was a great cook, an even better baker and had a great sense of humor. But of all of her interests, her grandchildren were her priority. She spent many hours caring for and bonding with them.

Marion married Adam Bartolini in 1958, with whom she had two children, and who remained her companion for the duration of her life. She is survived by her son, David A. Bartolini and his wife, Roslyn, of Oakville and her daughter Karen B. Curry and her husband, Thomas, of Middlebury; her four grandchildren Marissa Bartolini, Michael Bartolini, Thomas Curry Jr. and Jennifer Curry; as well as her great-grandchildren, Kaiden and Mikayla, and several nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by two brothers and one sister-in-law, Robert Bosso and Francis and Marcia Bosso.

The family would like to thank Dr. Leor Zedek and the staff at Waterbury Hospital and the Vitas Hospice staff at the inpatient hospice unit at St. Mary’s Hospital.

The funeral was today, Monday, Jan. 23, 2017 at 9:30 a.m. from Maiorano Funeral Home in Waterbury to Middlebury Congregational Church for a service at 10:30 a.m. Burial was to follow in Calvary Cemetery.
