Eleanor Marie Bria Stefanowicz
Eleanor Marie Bria Stefanowicz, a lifelong Greenwich resident, passed away peacefully on May 11, 2023. She was 92. Born December 19, 1930, Eleanor was the daughter of the late John Bria and Josephine D’Andrea Bria. She attended Greenwich Public Schools and was employed at Electrolux where she met her future husband Henry J. Stefanowicz, Sr. They were married on August 1, 1964. They had three children who they loved and cherished.
Eleanor was the most amazing cook who sprinkled all her specialties with “Nonnie love”. She loved nothing more than being with family and friends and was an avid sports fan with a special place in her heart for the UCONN Women’s Basketball Team and The Yankees. She absolutely adored her grandchildren and was an integral part of their lives from the moment she became a grandmother. In her later years, Eleanor was a resident of Hill House in Riverside, where she made many new friends and reconnected with old ones, making precious memories.
Eleanor is survived by her daughter Kim Spezzano (Wayne), sons Joseph Stefanowicz (Jane-ellen) and Henry Stefanowicz (Melissa). her grandchildren Kyle Spezzano, Kamryn Spezzano, Kevin Spezzano, Jordan Stefanowicz, Jake Stefanowicz, Jenna Stefanowicz, James Stefanowicz, Megan Stefanowicz and Henry Stefanowicz, her sister Rosemary Carriero as well as several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her loving husband Henry J. Stefanowicz, Sr., her parents and her brothers, Pasquale, Lawrence, George and John.
