Josephine C. (Bresciano) Bonnette, 95, of Wilmington, Delaware, formerly of Massachusetts, passed away on Tuesday, October 15, 2024. Born in Greenfield, on September 25, 1929, she was the daughter of the late Peter and Anna (Demeo) Bresciano.
Josephine relocated to Wilmington in 2010 and made her home with her daughter and son-in-law until moving into Millcroft Senior Living. Josephine took up golf later in life and enjoyed her weekly golf league as well as her bowling league. She loved being a homemaker and kept busy with ceramics and needlework over the years. After moving to Delaware, she became a regular at the Newark Senior Center and enjoyed time with her "tablemates" especially on Bingo day. She continued her fondness for the game at Millcroft.
Her husband, Lionel P. Bonnette, passed away in 1994 and her son Alan M. Bonnette passed away in 1995. Besides her parents Josephine was predeceased by her siblings: Mary Konvelski, Palma Smith, Carolyn Majewski, Rose Hayes, Stephen Bresciano, Vincent Bresciano and Nicholas Salustri.
Josephine is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Deborah and Robert Chuda; her granddaughters Lisa Witzler (Peter) and Amanda Kenyon (Daniel); her great grandchildren Teddy and Jackson Witzler and Allegra and Grady Kenyon. She also leaves several nieces and nephew.
