Rosemary DiStasi Tozzi, age 94, of Bridgeport, passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 4, 2024 at Bridgeport Hospital with her loving family by her side. She was the beloved wife of the late Joseph A. Tozzi. Born in Bridgeport on November 2, 1929, she was a daughter of the late Ettore DiStasi and Mildred Ruth Elmendorf DiStasi and was a lifelong Bridgeport resident.

Rosemary started her career in her teens at the Singer Sewing Machine Company and then went on to serve the City of Bridgeport for over 35 years and retired as the Assistant Town Clerk.

Her greatest passions were her family, immediate & external, especially her Grandchildren & Great Grandchild.

She enjoyed visiting & speaking on the phone with dear friends as well as sharing penny candy with her sister-in-law, Theresa. In her younger days it was dancing & singing at home with her immediate family & DiStasi Aunts, uncles & many cousins.
