She was a loving mother and grandmother and will be greatly missed.
She is survived by her son, Michael Bosco of Plainville and his daughter Lilly; her daughter, Kathryn Bosco of Ivoryton and her children Amber, Sarah, Tyler and Molly; her brother, Lloyd Emmett of MO; many nieces and nephews and cousins; and her pride and joy, her cat “Tubby”. She was predeceased by her twelve siblings
Irma’s love for animals may be remembered with contributions to the Connecticut Humane Society, 791 Russell Rd, Newington, CT 06111.
Honoring Irma’s wishes, her family will celebrate her life privately.
