Mrs. Nancy Palazzolo (nee Vizzone) passed away peacefully on May 24, 2023 at the age of 94 years. Born in
1929, youngest of 9 children, she was a child of the American Depression Era and the last surviving family
member. Nancy married Natale Palazzolo in 1950 and was widowed in 1992, a loss she struggled with for
many years.
During the Second World War she worked at the Bendix Corporation, later pressing LP Records for MGM in
the 1960's. while caring for 3 children and aging parents. She always was available for the family without
hesitation. In her later years, she worked as a waitress in several diners and restaurants. She continued to work
until health issues forced her to retire.
Nancy had 4 children 2 whom passed before the age of 1 year. She is survived by 2 sons: Natale of Manhattan,
John of Succasunna, NJ, and by 2 grandchildren Gerard and John. Her family was the single most important
focus in her life, she was always ready to help in whatever manner she was able.
She passed from this life, a funny, strong and fiercely independent woman. I know she is thankful for the many
people that helped her to live a full life to its end, and we thank them on her behalf for their kindness.
Her services will be held in the Cathedral Basilica of The Sacred Heart, Newark, NJ 10:00 am. May 23, 2024,
on the 1-year anniversary of her passing and will be interred with her husband Natale at Holy Cross Cemetery,
North Arlington, NJ.
