Dianna Mae (Patrignelli) Koskelowski, 79, of Seymour, peacefully entered eternal life on September 21, 2023, at Griffin Hospital. She was the beloved wife of Robert Koskelowski, Sr., a former Police Officer & First Selectman of Seymour, and was blessed with a 60-year marriage. Dianna was born in Bridgeport, CT, daughter of the late Emilio (Emil) and Egila Patrignelli.
She was devoutly religious and a communicant of St. Augustine Church of St. Nicholas Parish, where she was a member of the Altar Guild for many years. She worked at Derby Senior Center and moved to be the Secretary for the Economic Development Department in Seymour and then to Assistant Director of the Seymour Senior Center until her retirement. She enjoyed winter snowstorms, reading, solving puzzles, vegetable and flower gardening, knitting, sewing, monthly lunches with her lady friends, family holiday picnics, and especially sunny days at the beach.
Dianna was a kind and generous person who volunteered for many organizations including the Seymour Special Olympics, and Friends of the Seymour Library. Most recently she enjoyed knitting hats for the patients at the Smilow Center in Derby. She will be greatly missed by all whose lives she touched.
