Josephine Calvi (née Calve), beloved wife of the late Philip Calvi, passed away on Nov. 20, 2023.
A longtime Darien resident, Jo graduated from Darien High School in 1963 and Colorado Women’s College in 1967. Jo enjoyed a successful restaurant career alongside Philip before his passing. Next, always a lover of fashion, Jo embarked on a personal career in retail which ended with her retirement after 17 years at Lord & Taylor.
Jo was a friend to many. A great hostess, Jo loved nothing more than having her friends and family to her home where all were welcome.
