Victoria Mozgai Obituary

Vicky was born August 9, 1942, to Ralph and Helen Cataldi in Highland Park, NJ. She married Joe Mozgai shortly after graduating high school on June 17, 1961, in Highland Park, NJ. They shared a happy marriage until Joe's passing in 2019.

Vicky devoted herself to raising her family, taking great pride in her home while enjoying gardening, bridge, sewing, and knitting. No matter the occasion, she always made sure there was a home-cooked meal waiting, whether it was a simple breakfast or a cherished Sunday dinner. She began her career as an insurance agent in 1979 in VA and retired in 2002 in Longmont, CO. In 2007, she relocated to Bayfield, CO, where she was actively involved with the Pine River Senior Center, serving as both a Treasurer and Board member. She was also a member of the Red Hat Society in Longmont, CO, and the Preceptor Beta sorority in Bayfield, CO.
