Virginia R. (Verdi) Magro, age 92, of Trumbull, beloved wife of the late Joseph Richard Magro, passed away peacefully on Saturday February 22, 2020 at St. Vincent's Medical Center surrounded by her loving family. Born in Brooklyn, NY on March 12, 1927, she was a daughter of the late Edward and Margaret Petrina Verdi.

Mrs. Magro had been employed by Bank of America, where she worked as a teller for many years.

A woman of great faith, she was a longtime dedicated parishioner of Christ the King Church, Trumbull. She enjoyed playing Mahjong and other card games with friends, where she built many lasting relationships. Above all else however, was her family and the importance of spending time with them. She was a big fan of sports, especially those played by her grandsons, Joseph and Brian McBride of Trumbull, whom she had adored very much. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Survivors include her daughter Christine McBride and her husband Joseph, two sons, James Watson and his wife Sandra and Timothy Watson and his wife Regina.
