Loved braiding rugs, knitting and dancing with her late husband
Mrs. Formilinda P. (Delgado) Estrella, age 93, of Benjamin Church Manor, Bristol, died Saturday May 21, 2016, at the Philip Hulitar Hospice Center, Providence, surrounded by her loving family, following a brief illness.

She was the wife of the late Anthony “Tony” Estrella, her husband of 57 years, who preceded her in death in 2003. Born in Bristol and a lifelong resident, she was a daughter of the late Antonio and Grace (Perpetua) Delgado.

Formilinda worked for several years for the former Nella’s Closet, formerly on Hope Street, Bristol, retiring when the shop closed a number of years ago. She had previously been employed by the former Priscilla’s Sportswear in Bristol and the former Crown Fastener Company in Warren.

Formilinda loved spending time braiding rugs, knitting and dancing with her late husband, Tony.

She is survived by a daughter, Linda Gregson (Dennis) of Bristol, a grandson, Sean P. Gregson (Ariella) of Mount Laurel, N.J., grand-dog, Finnegan, and two sisters, Tina Castro of Bristol and Mary Butfiloski of Sanford, Fla. In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by two brothers, Louis “Lee” Delgado and Paul Delgado.

Funeral services and burial will be private. Visiting hours are respectfully omitted. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Philip Hulitar Hospice Center, 1085 North Main St., Providence, RI 02904. For online condolences and shared memories go to www.sansonefuneralhome.com
