03/04/2015 11:00 PMOlympia Virginia (D’Amelio) Bergami, 95, of North Haven, wife of the late Aldo Bergami, passed into eternal life on Feb. 18 in her cherished pink house with her daughter Olie by her side. Olympia was born Feb. 11, 1920, to the late Antonio and Virginia (Bosco) D’Amelio.
She met her husband Aldo at Seamless Rubber Company and, after a brief courtship, married in St. Anthony Church in 1955. Olympia and Aldo moved to North Haven where they raised their three daughters. Olympia dedicated her life to her family and found great joy in her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Olympia’s depth of love for her family was rivaled only by the depth of her faith.
Olympia is survived by her three daughters Olympia (Rick) Riley, Linda (Michael) Frey, and Jean Parisi (Andrew Sterchak); grandchildren Renee Riley Gardner (Gary), Jillian Frey (Kyle Manjuck), and James Frey; great-grandchildren Ayden, Isabelle, and Jacob Gardner; her sister Carmel Verdi; and nieces and nephews. Olympia was predeceased by brothers Nicholas and Ralph DeMelio and sister Rose Torino.
A mass celebrating Olympia’s life was held at St. Barnabas Church on Feb. 24. The North Haven Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements.
