She was born in Stafford Springs, CT on May 14, 1921, beloved daughter of the late Ernesto and Catherine (Biz) Rogledi. Elia worked locally for over 41 years at the former Cyril Johnson Woolen Mill and later at Loro Piana Industries as a material inspector. Elia was a very thoughtful, loving, and caring person. To know her was to love her. She was a member of St. Edward Parish.

She was predeceased by a sister, Melyna Della Giustina; and a brother, Tourido A. “Tweets” Rogledi. Elia had several beloved nieces and nephews, and a special nephew, Chris, with whom we vacationed with at Cape Cod for many, many years. He was the light of her life. Also, a special niece, Nancy, who would fix her hair and took her city shopping once a week. She will be sadly missed by her neighbors and friends, and her special care giver Stella. The family would like to extend their deep gratitude to the hospice staff at Visiting Nurse and Health Services of Connecticut. They were all so giving and caring.
