Audrey K. Boglioli, a cherished long-time resident of Long Branch, passed away on Wednesday, July 17th at Riverview Medical Center in Red Bank at the age of 95.
Born in Wilkes-Barre, PA, and raised in Blairstown, NJ, Audrey met her future husband, Bernie Boglioli, while he was a student at Blair Academy. They married and moved to Newton, where together they supported Bernie through college and law school, all while raising their three sons.
In 1962, Audrey moved her family to Long Branch, where she quickly became an integral part of the community. A devout communicant of St. Michael’s RC Church, she taught Sunday school and volunteered for many years.
Audrey and Bernie enjoyed traveling to Europe, spending time at their home in Palm Beach, Florida, and attending Notre Dame football games each fall. Audrey was a long-time member of Deal Golf and Country Club and cherished summer days with her children and grandchildren, first at White Sands Beach Club and later at Takanassee Beach Club. She loved hosting holidays and giving wonderful gifts to her family, as well as Sunday’s dinners at her house every week. Audrey and her friends created a knitting club, “A Stitch Fore Time” and donated the proceeds to the Breast Center and NICU at Monmouth Medical Center.
