Patricia Bogacz Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Patricia “Pat” June (Price) Bogacz, 72, a lifelong Stamford resident, passed away suddenly, but peacefully in the comfort of her home, surrounded by her loving family on December 23, 2017. Pat was born on November 6, 1945 to the late Albert J. Price, Sr. and Catherine June Price. She was predeceased by her siblings Joan Tymula, Albert J. Price, Jr. and Margaret (Peggy) Niemiera, their spouses Edward, Sheila and George, respectively, and nephew Richard (Ricky) Niemiera. Pat was a 1964 graduate of Stamford High School and married the love of her life, Stanley M. Bogacz, Jr. on November 28 of that year. For many years she was a homemaker and volunteered at Holy Name of Jesus, the elementary school her children (and husband before them) attended. Upon marriage, she was devoted to the beautiful Polish Church and served as confirmation teacher in the CCD program, parish secretary, founding member of the Creative Craft Group, and coordinated many Christmas fairs and volunteered during the annual Dozynki festivals. Pat participated in the Holy Sacrament of the Mass as both a Eucharistic Minister and lector. Pat recently celebrated an incredible 25 years at St. Cecilia Elementary School, Stamford, CT, as “secretary” but was so much more to the entire school community. The faculty, children and families were a constant source of her love and affection. Most recently Pat joined All Saints School in Norwalk, CT as an administrative assistant. Her passion for the holidays was expressed through her fashion and love of music. She was a sports enthusiast from an early age and a diehard New York Rangers and New York Giants fan. Left to cherish her memory are her devoted husband of 54 years, Stanley M. Bogacz, Jr., her loving daughter, Stacey M. Bogacz, her beloved son, S. Michael Bogacz, III, and treasured grandsons Talon Ross Bogacz and Aiden Jonah Bogacz, together with Michael Fortunato, former daughter-in-law Sheila Ross Bogacz, nephew, George Niemiera of Middletown, NY, niece, Joy Powers of Lafayette, Colorado and great nephew, Aric Niemiera of Stamford, CT.
