Linda Bocchino (Pagliaro), age 65 of Ansonia, passed away suddenly on Wednesday, January 22, 2025 and broke our hearts. She was born in Bridgeport on October 15, 1959 to the late Donald Pagliaro and Albina Benderitis Pagliaro of Florida. After graduating from Central High School, Linda graduated with honors from Katherin Gibbs. She spent her career as an exceptional paralegal. Linda was smart as a whip and equally kind and loving. However, her kindness should not be mistaken for weakness, as she was never afraid to let you know how she felt or if you were acting inappropriately. She had a biting sense of humor and was able to see the humor in almost everything. In addition to her mother, she is survived by her son, Michael (Ibeth) A. Bocchino, Jr.; sisters, Laura (Dale) Fritz and Lois Jones; nieces, Rachel and Kaylee; and nephews, Dale, Jacob and Gareth. In addition to her father, she was predeceased by her brother, Don Pagliaro; and brother-in-law, Steve Jones. She will be sorely missed by family and friends.
