Loving Mother and Friend
Victoria L. Semprini, age 104, passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 25, 2025, at Masonicare Assisted Living in Wallingford, Connecticut. She was the devoted wife of Joseph F. Semprini.
Born in Waterbury, on August 14, 1920, she was the daughter of Vito and Lucia (Santorsa) Becce. She grew up on the family farm with her parents, and her siblings, Agnes, Rose, Toni and Rocco.

They married in 1943. Victoria and Joe raised their four children in their North Main Street home, which was the center of many family gatherings and a stopping place for relatives and friends. She was always ready to put on a pot of coffee.
After raising her family, she worked for the City of Waterbury School District as a secretary and later as a teacher's aide for students with special needs. She enjoyed cooking Italian foods and pastries, and writing poetry centered around her family life. Always positive, she devoted her life to her husband and family. One of her favorite words of advice was, "Do your best and leave the rest". In her retirement, she enjoyed going to the many events of her grandchildren.
