Idamarie Nolan Obituary

Nolan, Idamarie Born 1931 to the late Achille and the late Carmella Ruffolo in Calabria, Italy. She traveled to America at age 5 along with her brothers, the late Louis (Leda) and the late Joseph (Natalie). As life in America was established her family had another son, James (Florence), who she adored. Soon she met her husband, the late Lt. Donald E. Nolan, C.F.D. and her family grew to include her in-laws, the late James and the late Lillian Nolan, as well as brothers-in-law, the late James, the late Edward, C.F.D. (Bernadette) and William, C.F.D (the late Irene). She became a proud mother to Carolynn and the late Capt. Thomas E., C.F.D. (Frances).

Her warmth will be missed by many. A heartfelt thank you to all who walked along the Alzheimer's path with Idamarie, showing patience, love and laughter.
