Joyce K. Boglivi (nee Laltrella), 85, died on Sunday, February 15, 2026.  Joyce was born in Passaic, New Jersey and lived her entire life in Clifton.  After graduating from Clifton High School, she began working at WR Grace, as a secretary.  Nicholas Boglivi arrived one day for a business meeting at WR Grace, where he met Joyce.  They began dating and soon married thereafter.  Nick and Joyce settled in their home in Clifton and began their life together.  She was a consummate homemaker and embraced her role as wife, mother and grandmother.  She worked for several years as a librarian at St. Clare’s School.  She was a constant source of light and love to all who knew her.  Joyce enjoyed her years traveling with her beloved Nick.  She had a unique way of making people feel understood.  Her illness over these years had dimmed her light, and now we will carry her light and love in our hearts, knowing she rests with her beloved Nick.  Joyce was predeceased by her beloved husband of 62 years, Nicholas E. Boglivi in May 2025.  She is survived by her loving daughters, Lauren Boglivi & her husband, Mark Gottlieb and Liza Fox & her husband, Lenny and by her cherished grandchildren, Ella and William Gottlieb and Taylor Fox.  She is also survived by her sister, Patricia Laltrella.
