Julie Boninsegna Obituary

Julie Hurley Boninsegna, 58 of Kensington, formerly of Newington, passed away on April 6, 2022 after courageously battling cancer. She leaves behind the love of her life Mario Angelo Boninsegna, whom she was married to for 30 years, and their beloved children, Kevin, Kara and Austin. Julie also leaves her parents Jack and Arlene Hurley of Newington, and her mother-in-law Anna Maria Boninsegna also of Newington. She is predeceased by her father-in-law, Angelo Boninsegna. Julie was a resident of Newington before marrying in 1991 and moving to Kensington. She graduated from Newington High School in 1982, the University of Connecticut in 1986 with a degree in Marketing, Suma Cum Laude and received her master's in Management Information from the University of Connecticut in 1993. She worked in various departments at Aetna for 10 years before staying home to raise her family. Julie was an avid reader, interior decorator and gardener. She loved the beach, Disney World and most of all spending time with family and friends. Julie loved to travel around the world with her family- her favorite trip being the Amalfi Coast in Italy. She loved hosting parties and inviting guests to celebrate any occasion and always had her beautiful home decorated for the season. She was always ready with a birthday card or a wish for her family and friends. Her smile and generous spirit will live in our hearts forever. Julie also leaves behind her brother Jack and wife Kristen Hurley, her brother Steve and his wife Christine Hurley, her sister-in law Emanuela Boninsegna, sister-in law Maddalena Scrivano and Blake Twerdy. Her nieces and nephews Sean and Ryan Hurley, Alia and Annika Hurley, Nicole and Michael Scrivano and her great niece Giuliana Scrivano. A mass of Christian Burial will be held Wednesday, April 13, 2022 at 11:30 am at St. Paul's Church, 461 Alling Street, Kensington, CT. Burial will follow at West Meadow Cemetery, Newington, CT. Calling hours are Tuesday from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Sheehan-Hilborn-Breen Funeral Home, 1084 New Britain Avenue, West Hartford, CT. In lieu of flowers Julie requested that donations may be made to Helen and Harry Gray Cancer Center, 79 Retreat Avenue, Hartford, CT 06106.

The Colossale´s

April 14, 2022

Mario and kids, we are so sorry for your loss. Julie went WAY out of her way to welcome us to the neighborhood last year. She made us feel part of the neighborhood family. The trays of candy, cookies etc were very much appreciated. Her and my wife hit it off instantly when they realized they were both from newington. We only wish we knew her longer. The 900 plus people at her wake is a testament to how many people she touched in her too short of time here. Prayers to you all. Sincerely, Bob, Jane, Jakob and Jack.

Mario, my condolences to you and your family.

"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."

In heaven, we will feel no pain, no sorrow, and there will be no death. All of our grief will fall away, and we will only feel God's unending love.

God bless.
