In Memoriam: Patricia Connelly Dalesio

From Bosak Funeral Home.

Patricia Connelly Dalesio, passed away on Tuesday, October 27, 2015 with family by her side.

She was born in Stamford, on February 14, 1936 to the late William Connelly and Margaret Ryan Connelly.

Pat attended St John’s School and was a graduate of Stamford High School. From there, she worked at the Southern New England Telephone Company.

After leaving there, Pat married and started her family. As her children grew, she returned to the workforce as a bookkeeper for the former Manero’s Steakhouse in Greenwich and the former Giovanni’s Steakhouse on Long Ridge Road. Later in life, Pat took a job working for Reed Exhibitions in account control management and as an account receivable manager. She also held various other positions in cash application in finance. After retiring, Pat contracted with Reed Exhibitions for years and traveled many trade shows.

Pat was the matriarch of her family. She is survived by her loving children: a son, Raymond Paul Dalesio Jr. and his wife Linda, and their three children, Denis, Shannon, and Michael. And by her daughter, Cheryl Dalesio Anderson and her husband, Al and their children, Daniel and Melissa. She loved her grandchildren who called her “Packy” who will miss her greatly.

She was predeceased by two sisters, Eileen Gianetti and Dawn Lupinacci and by her brother Edward Ryan. She is survived by their children, her nieces and nephews, whom held her dear to their hearts, Kenneth Gianetti, Toni Gianetti, Kathy Higgins, Karen Lombardi, Ronald Lupinacci, Michael Lupinacci, and Steven Lupinacci.

Through her marriage, she had two wonderful sister-in-laws, Eileen Gianetti and Barbara Larose who were dear to her along with her nieces and nephews 1st, 2nd and 3rd generations.

Aside being an avid football fan of the Minnesota Vikings, all of you who knew Pat, other than being born on Valentine’s Day, her favorite day was that old “March 17th” St Paddy’s Day, that’s why she was named Patricia. To Pat, it started Sunday the week before at the Greenwich Parade until the last hours. Everyone was an Irishman on that day, so let’s tip our hat to our mom, Pat!

Family and friends will be received at the Bosak Funeral Home, 453 Shippan Ave. in Stamford on Sunday, November 1st from 2 pm to 4 pm. A funeral service will be celebrated on Monday, November 2nd at 11 am at the funeral home. Interment will follow at St. John RC Cemetery, in Darien, CT.
