Eleanor J. Epifano, age 85, a lifelong Bridgeport resident, peacefully passed on Monday, May 18, 2020 at Shady Knolls in Seymour.

Before her retirement, Eleanor worked for many years at Fermont, a division of Dynamics Corp. of America and Remington Products Company both of Bridgeport. She lived at Northbridge for the last ten years before recently moving to Shady Knolls in Seymour. She was a sweet and gentle person who loved cookies, crossword puzzles and her extensive collection of stuffed animals. She was a loving sister and aunt and will be missed by all who knew her. The family appreciates the professional care provided to Eleanor by Northbridge and Shady Knolls but especially wish to thank Athena Home Health & Hospice for their very attentive and compassionate care during Eleanor’s 3 years with them. She is survived by a brother, Gene Epifano of Georgia as well as many loving nieces, nephews and great- nieces and greatnephews. She was predeceased by her sisters, Mary A. Guinta and Marguerite Hollis.
