SCHENECTADY - Deanna J. Izzo, 76, passed away at AMCH on Thursday, January 14, 2021, after a brief illness with her loving family at her bedside.
Deanna was born in Rensselaer on March 2, 1944, the daughter of the late Kenneth and Helen (Krill) Bosler and she was a graduate of Colonie Central High School. For the last 25 years, Deanna worked as a lunch aid for Zoller Elementary School, where the kids adored her smile and loving ways. Deanna was predeceased by her parents, Kenneth and Helen Bosler, and her son Bennie Izzo, Jr.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 58 years, Bennie Izzo; her loving daughters, Lisa Zebrowski and Robin (Jerry) Knapp. And her loving grandchildren, Amber (Casey) Brower, Brittany (Dan) Dugo, Tiffany (Adam) Boster, Zachary Zebrowski, Stefano Knapp, Alexis Knapp, Rocco Knapp, and great-grandaughter, Viviana Brower; and sister, Eve (Larry) LaRock.
Deanna looked forward to trips to the casinos, with her husband Bennie, and her brother and sister-in-law, Tony and Kitty Izzo. Her children and grandchildren were the centers of her world, she would do anything and everything for them. Deanna was a diehard Yankee fan, you would always know when a game was on, as she would be glued to the tv. She looked forward to her summertime camping trips to Lake George with her family and her Thursday night fireworks. Sundays were known as family spaghetti day and she always made sure she made enough meatballs for her grandsons. Deanna loved to make up cute nicknames for the grandchildren, Brittany (Great tuna), Tiffany (Beanie), Zachary (Pooch), Stefano (Saboo), Alexis (Lexipie), and Rocco (My baby). She was an angel and will always continue to be an angel, and she will be greatly missed.
Relatives and friends are invited to call at the Rossi & Ditoro Funeral Home, 501 Union Street, for the viewing on Thursday from 10-12 noon followed by a Mass at 1 pm at St. Luke’s Church, State Street. Interment will follow in Memory Gardens.
