Jeryl Gagliardi-Levy Obituary
April 23, 2025
Jeryl "Jeri" Vets Gagliardi Levy passed away peacefully, in New Haven, Connecticut, on April 23, 2025. Born in New Haven on April 13, 1935, Jeri was the beloved daughter of the late Andrew and Rena (Genta) Vets.
Jeri dedicated her life to healthcare and education, earning her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Connecticut and later her Master of Professional Studies, with a concentration in Health Services, from Quinnipiac University. Her esteemed career as a Registered Nurse at Yale-New Haven Hospital spanned 40 years, beginning in the Newborn Special Care Unit and culminating in her impactful role as Clinical Director of Obstetrics/Gynecology and Pediatrics.
Preceded in death by her husband, Richard Levy; her younger daughter, Karen Hawley; and her brother, Robert Vets. Jeri leaves behind a loving family who will cherish her memory. She is survived by her daughter, Patricia Loope of Scottsdale, AZ; grandchildren, Nicholas Loope (fiancée Alexa), Steven Hawley (fiancée Jodi), and Kimberly Reinwald (Daniel); great-granddaughter, Gemma Reinwald; son-in-law, Kenneth Hawley; sister-in-law, Maureen Vets; nieces, Sheryl Sobolewski (John) and Cynthia Powers (Beau); nephew, Rob Vets Jr. (Chia-Hui) and their children.
Jeri is also survived by her devoted caregiver, Grace Attigah, whose support and consistent care brought comfort to her and the family over the past several years.
Cape Cod, where she and her husband owned a second home and made lasting memories, held a special place in Jeri's heart. She found joy in gardening, working in her yard, and spending time with her grandchildren. A lover of the performing arts, Jeri delighted in attending Broadway musicals.
Jeri's warmth, dedication, and passion for life will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
