Josephine “Joann” Varga, lovingly known as "Peppy", 86, passed peacefully on the eve of May 3rd, 2017, at her home in Danbury, CT surrounded by her loving family. In the next phase of her journey, she is greeted by her Mother and Father, Filippo and Sabina Carlucci, her 3 siblings; Daniel, Santa Maria, and Betty, along with plenty of her furry friends that she cherished throughout her life.
Joann, the child of Sabina and Filippo Carlucci, was loved unconditionally by her husband of 63 years, Joseph “Joe” Varga. In the 63 years spent together, they had two wonderful daughters, Gail Ives and her husband Vic and Cindy Rudolph and her husband Kenny, plus five grandchildren: Frank, Chelsea, Joe, Taylor, Kira and her beloved Daisy and Moose. She truly adored and admired her beloved husband Joe, and was so incredibly proud of the life and family that they were able to create with each other. Together, they shared a very vibrant life full of laughter, devotion, and indefinite love.
Joann found comfort in serving others, and was always caring to everyone’s needs before her own. Whether it be through her support, her contagious laugh, or from the amazing food she whipped up, you could always count on her to illuminate your day. Joann’s humor, amiable character, and selflessness will be deeply missed, but forever treasured by all of her loved ones.
