Aileen Patricia Bacigalupi, 93, passed away peacefully at her second home in Napa on October 19, 2017, after living with advanced osteoarthritis for many years. She was born in Oakland at the Fabiola Women's Hospital on April 2 1924, the daughter of the late Anthony and Teresa Sola, one of the pioneering families of Albany.
Her husband, Robert John Bacigalupi DDS, preceded her in death by two years and just six days shy of their 70th wedding anniversary. Aileen is survived by her devoted daughter, Barbara Bacigalupi of Napa. She was a loving sister to the late Genevieve Collins of El Cerrito.
She was introduced to her future husband, Robert Bacigalupi, through family connections while he was still in dental school. During a two-week leave from the Navy, Robert married Aileen at St Ambrose Catholic Church in Albany, on September 23rd, 1945.
Following the war, the young couple settled in El Cerrito, which they considered home for all but the last several years of their life. Aileen was an integral, but behind-the-scenes, part of Robert's dental practice in Albany. Throughout her life, Aileen focused much attention on volunteer service, first to St. Jerome's Church and then in support of her daughter's education at St Jerome's Elementary School and at Presentation High School, Berkeley. But it was at Alta Bates Medical Center that Aileen made her life's greatest volunteer commitment, with service that spanned more than two decades and thousands of hours.
Memorial services and interment at Napa's Tulocay Cemetary are private.
The family requests that donations be made to the Dr Robert J Bacigalupi Memorial Fund, Salesian College Preparatory, 2851 Salesian Avenue, Richmond, CA 94804. Established by Aileen and Barbara in 2015, the Bacigalupi Fund will annually support exceptional student performance for those pursuing healthcare and biological sciences career paths.

Note: Aileen was linked to Teresa Sola (173541783), thought to be her mother, but due to age difference she was unlinked.
