Judith (Bagley) Taricani

September 6, 2018

Judith Taricani (Bagley) passed away peacefully at her home in Wolfeboro, NH, at the age of 73, on Thursday, September 6, 2018. Judith and her family have long and well-established ties to New Britain, where she was born and raised. In 1975, she relocated to Naples, FL, where she raised her three children and worked as a successful advertising executive for NBC, and later became an independent businesswoman. She returned to the New Britain area in 1989, where she remained for 23 years before relocating to Wolfeboro, NH, to be closer to her children and grandchildren. Judith was best known by her family and friends for her unconditional love and devotion. Her siblings, children, and grandchildren were a great source of happiness, pride, and fulfillment for her. She was an avid NY Yankees fan, and belonged to several of their fan clubs. She was a voracious reader, and appreciated the beauty of nature, often taking long drives to sightsee. Judith brought a youthful exuberance and excitement to every gathering. She was always the life of the party. Judith will be missed dearly by her brother, Lance Bagley of Meddybemps, ME; her sister, Sherryl Bannon of Plantsville, CT; her son, John Larson and his wife Pamela of Loveland, CO; her daughter Heather Nelson and her husband John of Tuftonboro, NH; her son Rob Stiles and his wife Elaine of Old Lyme, CT; and her six grandchildren, Alex and Emily Larson; Jacob and Joshua Nelson; and Milo and Madeline Stiles. Judith also leaves behind many cousins, nieces, nephews, and loving friends. Judith was predeceased by her parents, Lester A. Bagley, Sr. and Vera Bagley (Carswell); her two brothers, Lester A. Bagley, Jr. and Kurt H. Bagley; and her husband, Thomas A. Taricani. Calling hours are Saturday, September 15, at 12:00 PM at Carlson Funeral Home, 45 Franklin Square, New Britain, CT. Memorial services will follow at 1:00 at the funeral home.
