Carmel A. (nee: Bruno) Aldridge, passed away peacefully at Hospitality Manor, under the compassionate care of Hospice Alliance, on Friday, Jan. 18, 2013.
A lifetime resident, Carmel was born in Kenosha on Sept. 7, to the late Joseph and Rosina (nee: Marchese) Bruno.
On Nov. 8, 1976, at the Great Lakes Naval Base, she was united in marriage with Gary Aldridge, who preceded her in death on Nov. 29, 2002.
