Obituary: Nancy Ambrogio, 84, Of Greenwich

Via Fred D. Knapp Funeral Home

Nancy Marion (Kidney) Ambrogio, 84 years old of Greenwich passed away peacefully on July 18, 2021.

Nancy was born on July 13, 1937 to her parents Joseph and Nancy (Pazda) Kidney. She was married to Joseph John Ambrogio on August 11, 1956 and they were married 64 years. Nancy graduated Greenwich High School Class of 1956. Nancy was a wonderful wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She retired from the Town of Greenwich where she worked as a Parking Control Officer for 19 years. Nancy was devoted to her family. She took great pride in her grandchildren and supported them in all their activities.

Nancy never missed an episode of Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune and loved taking family trips to Lake Winnipesaukee, NH. In her ‘spare’ time, Nancy enjoyed cooking Italian dishes for her family (particularly Sunday Gravy and Pasta Fagioli). To this day, we’ve never been able to replicate her recipes. Nancy also enjoyed baking specialty cakes and crocheting blankets for others.

Nancy was predeceased by her son, Joseph Jr. who passed away May 1, 2002 and her son-in-law, Stephen Bernstein who passed away March 18, 2014. She is survived by her loving husband Joseph; three daughters, Patti Freda (Ben), Lisa Bernstein, and Michele Warzoha. Nancy has eight beloved grandchildren: Ronnie (Hannah) and Jessica Warzoha, Jennifer and Christopher Freda, Sarah Bernstein, Kristen Figueroa, Joseph Ambrogio, and Victoria Ambrogio. Her grandchildren lovingly called her ‘Nanny.’ Nancy is also survived by her twin siblings John Kidney and Joan Marzullo, as well as many nieces and nephews who she loved so much.
