Mary Koza Blagusz, 101, died peacefully on Thursday, November 18, 2021, in Denver, Colorado. She was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, and moved to Hartford in her teen years, where she met the love of her life, Walter.  They were blessed with 65 years together.  Mary was employed by the Travelers Insurance Co. for 25 years.  Her retirement years were spent in many volunteer positions at SS Cyril & Methodius Church and the Newington Senior Center. She will be forever remembered for her strong faith in God, great integrity, will power, stamina and ever-present desire to help others whenever possible. She was a devoted wife and mother. She is survived by her daughters, Kathleen Feldman of Wellington, Florida, Jeanette Walters and husband, Brad, of Niwot, Colorado, and Diane Callow and husband Lynn, of Frederick, Colorado. She was the proud and loving grandmother of four grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Mary's warmth and prayer-full attitude toward life and others will be missed by family and friends.

Dillon-Baxter Funeral Home in Wethersfield is handling arrangements. Because of COVID concerns, there will be a private family burial. The family hopes to hold a Celebration of Life for Mary next summer.

Memorial contributions may be made to Little Sisters of the Poor, 3629 West 29 ^th Avenue, Denver, Colorado, 80211.
