Janice Valerie Bodo Boss, 74, of West Kingston, RI, beloved wife of George H. Boss of 42 years died peacefully on Monday, July 10, 2017 at home surrounded by her family and the love of her life, her husband, George.
Jan was born in Bridgeport, CT daughter of the late Alexander and Irene Danko Bodo in the West End section of Bridgeport (aka Hunk Town due to the large Hungarian population) on February 1, 1943. She was a resident of West Kingston for 32 years.
Jan was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
She was proud of her Hungarian heritage and over the years would be known to prepare such Hungarian favorites as goulash, chicken paprikas, stuffed cabbage (the Hungarian way). You could also find her humming or singing Az a szep with gusto. She had an infectious laugh and sparkle in her eye and her dad would refer to her as his own Lucille Ball (without the red hair).
Of her numerous places of employment, she was most proud of having taught religious education at St. Jude Church, Derby, CT.
In addition to her husband, she is survived by her children, James DiMartino and his wife, Christina of CT, Joseph DiMartino and his wife Lori of CT and Donna Benoche of CT, James L. Boss of CT, Katherine Walker of FL, Cynthia Bonazzoli of CT and Tracey Tang of FL.
