Julia Ann Satti

Julia Ann Satti, 88, loving wife, mother and talented educator, passed away Friday, December 11, at her home in Southington, CT. Born in Goshen CT, to Carlton and Myrtle Prindle, Julia was the youngest of eight children. She often recounted her adventures growing up as part a large family in rural community, singing in the church choir and playing piano. After her family moved to Torrington, Julia discovered her love of teaching and with her family's help, received a Masters in Education from Central Connecticut State College. In 1954, she married Arnold Satti, and as part of his Air Force assignment, they were stationed in France. Upon returning from France, she taught 35 years in the Burlington Schools as a third-grade educator. After retiring from teaching, she worked for McCrory's as a Regional Trainer and at Ensign-Bickford and Konover Management Realty as a Property Administrator. Julia made it her life's passion to laugh and make others laugh. She instilled in her children a love of nature, gardening, cooking and reading. Golf was her favorite pastime, and she and Arnold spent almost every sunny day on the golf course. She was a longtime UCONN Husky Basketball fan and loved rooting for the Red Sox. Later in life, she spent much of her time gardening and knitting lap quits and baby bonnets for local hospitals. Julia is survived by her sisters, Eunice Leone and Jean Skoczylas; and three children: William Satti, Jean Satti-Hewat and husband Roger Hewat, and Jennifer Twaddle and husband Robert Twaddle; as well as her brother-in-law, David Satti and wife Ruth Satti. Per her request, a memorial graveside service will be held in Litchfield, Connecticut at a later date.
