Lucy Bernat Obituary
Lucy was educated in the Wallingford Public Schools and is a graduate of Lyman Hall High School. She met and married Steven Bernat, also of Wallingford. Shortly after their marriage and before the outbreak of World War II, Lucy and her husband moved to Jacksonville, Fla. Both Lucy and her husband were employed at the Jacksonville Air Station, where Steve served as a Civil Service mechanical engineer repairing war damaged planes. After the war, they moved to Pompano Beach, Fla. and began a business of boat repair and deep sea fishing, charting groups into surrounding islands.
Lucy also became proficient in real estate title and abstract work and eventually became Vice President of the Fidelity Title and Abstract Company of Pompano Beach. She was closely involved with the Florida Association of Legal Secretaries (FALS) and was an officer for many years.
For sixteen years of their retirement years, Lucy and Steve resided in Boca Raton, Fla. Upon Steven's death, Lucy moved north to be closer to her family. In addition to her husband and parents, Lucy was predeceased by her brothers, Peter J. Rossi and George A. Rossi and her sister, Edith R. Bellows. She leaves her sisters, Mildred L. Rossi and Julia R. D'Agostino, of Wallingford; her nephew, Peter A. Rossi, of Yalesville and her nieces Andrea D. Gelzer, of Philadelphia, Pa., Ruth M. D'Agostino, of Meriden and Mary B. Pohl, of South Windsor, and several great nephews and nieces.
