Obituary for Julie Flanagan Verrengia

Julie (Flanagan) Verrengia passed away peacefully on Tuesday, March 29, 2022 at the age of 61 at Avon Health Center surrounded by her husband John and two children, Jonathan and Jenna after a courageous battle with cancer for five years. Julie grew up in New London, CT and is survived by her parents, Robert Flanagan (92) and Jacqueline (Luzi) Flanagan (91) as well as her three younger siblings Stephen, Darra, and Michael. Julie followed in her father’s footsteps and attended Providence College. She and her husband met while working at Cigna in 1983 before moving to Simsbury in 1988 and calling it home for the past 34 years. Julie was a strong and loving mother and wife who gave all she had to make those around her happy. She was best known for her quick whit, thoughtfulness, sense of humor and ability to light up a room. Julie was genuine, lovable and admirable. She never missed the opportunity to give her opinion in an authentic, caring and loving way - you always knew where she stood. Julie was especially proud of her time at Bloomfield High School working with the students and faculty that brought her so much joy. She loved walking the dog and was happiest by the ocean spending her weekends on the boat in Watch Hill or Block Island. Julie had so much more life to live but knowing she’s at peace floating on a boat, a dog by her side and a glass of sauvignon blanc in her hand (with a side of ice of course) is the heaven we will forever envision for her.
