Alice Bolton Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Alice was an alumnus of St. Xavier Academy and a graduate of the Rhode Island College of Education. She went on to teach elementary school before dedicating herself to motherhood. She was a devout faithful Catholic who enjoyed traveling with her husband, riding the waves at Scarborough Beach, and getting together with the Curves girls. Everyone loved her laugh and beautiful smile. Alice later enjoyed happy hour and coffee hour at Wesley Heights. Most of all, she cherished being a wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and spending time with her family. The family would like to thank the nurses and staff at Wesley Village, Bishop Wicke and Brian and Christina from the Hartford Health Care Comfort Care Team for their care and compassion over the last few months.
She was the beloved mother of Joanne (Greg) Young, Deacon Timothy (Michelle) Bolton, Paul (Jean) Bolton, and Maureen (Rich) Kandro and mother-in-law of the late Mary Ellen Bolton. She was Gram to Kristen (Dean), Kathleen (Matt), Tracy (Brien), Alicia, Timothy (Liz), Meagan (Brian), Kaitlin, Michael (Sarah), Shannon (Adam), Steven (Jeimy), and Laura. She was the great grandmother of Julia, Hannah, Lucas, Makenna, Keegan, Evan, Adriana, Mateo, Molly, Maisie, August, Madeline, and Adeline. She was also survived by several nieces and nephews.
On Tuesday, June 24th friends are invited to go directly to St. Margaret Mary Church, 50 Donovan Lane, Shelton for her Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 AM. Her burial will follow at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Trumbull.
The family requests that memorial contributions may be made to support the formation of future priests in the Diocese of Bridgeport by going to Bridgeport Vocations. or The Catholic Center, 238 Jewett Ave., Bridgeport, CT 06606.
The Riverview Funeral Home, 390 River Rd., Shelton has been entrusted with her arrangements. Friends may leave condolences at www.riverviewfh.com.

Dear Bolton Family:
I was saddened to hear of Mom´s passing. I had just seen her at Bishop Wicke 2 weeks earlier, and she remembered my name. Very impressive for 90 years young! She and your Dad were a part of the L´Hermitage gang along with my parents, Jim and Dolores Lucey. I am sure that Heaven will never be the same with the old gang reunited.
May she rest peacefully in God´s loving arms.
Keeping your family in my prayers,
Kim Lucey

We were so sorry to hear of your mom´s passing. We had seen her a few weeks earlier. She remembered both our names greeted us with a big smile. We hope our moms are happy together, reunited with the Jims and having the time of their lives. We miss them both.

To all the Bolton siblings and family,
I have very fond memories of your mom and dad, when you lived behind us in Fairfield. Your parents and mine became close friends for years, enjoying trips together and sharing wonderful times. They were both so much fun to be around, and I can remember your mom's joyful laugh. Sending sincere condolences to you all during this difficult time.
