Del Carlo, Orma Ducci
Norma Ducci Del Carlo died peacefully, returning to her beloved Rigoletto on
Saturday, July 2, 2005. 50 years ~ So long ago, then again like yesterday.
After graduation, my parents took my sister Lydia and I on a 6 month trip to
Italy, their homeland, to visit grandparent and relatives we had never known.
Loved it. Made a promise to myself and relatives to return someday. Came home,
went to work for an attorney as a secretary thanks to L.E. Swenson (Shorthand)
Regal Miss Perucca (English) Funny Miss Daniels (Typing). ($50.00 a month.)
When the war came I went to work for the government, Utah General Depot. At
war's end having secured my career statues (Permanent). Saved $5,000.00, I
quit to fulfill my promise to return to Italy. While there I suppose it was
inevitable that two operas should meet, namely "Norma" and "Rigoletto" Del
Carlo, but meet we did and soon after I was married in the same church my
parents were married in 35 years previously, in that lovely seasid e village.
After 18 months we returned home. I went back to work and my husband opened up
"Rigo's Italian Restaurant" 28th and Washington Blvd. About 5 years later our
son Robert was born. He lives nearby and we have two grandsons. Our son, not
caring to take over our business, after 25 successful years, we decide to
sell. We now divide our time between enjoying our home and garden traveling to
visit my sister and her family in Maryland and our relatives in Italy,
returning there each summer. She is survived by one sister, Lydia and her
husband Paul Montalbano, one son, Robert and his wife Beverly Del Carlo, two
grandchildren, Oliver and Addison. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m.
on Thursday, July 7, 2005 at St. Mary's Catholic Church, 2740 Pennsylvania
Avenue, Ogden, under the direction of Leavitt's Mortuary. A viewing will be
held 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at Leavitt's Mortuary, 836 36th St, Ogden. Interment,
Ogden City Cemetery.
