Jennie Manzone
Jennie Scaccio Manzone, 94, passed away on October 21, 2009. She was born in New York City, but had resided in San Diego for the past 20 years.
Jennie loved her Italian heritage, especially the cooking. Jennie loved to be around people and celebrations all of the time. She was a member of the Mira Mesa Senior Center’s “Golden Friends”, a member of the senior singing group “Music Makers”, a member for many years of the Good Shepherd Catholic Church Choir and of the Good Shepherd Women’s Club. Jennie was passionate about the art of watercolor and was part of the Continuing Education Art Program. She’s painted hundreds and hundreds of personal greeting cards for family and friends. Jennie especially loved talking about her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We know she is smiling and laughing in heaven…her favorite way to be.
Survived by her children Leonore & John Spafford of San Diego, CA, Cathi & Bob Tessier of Columbia, CA, Louis & Pina Manzone of Westport, CT and Lillian LaRue of Barrington, NJ. Grandchildren Christa & Scott, Nick, Kym & Randy, Karen & Phil, Giancarlo & Kelly, Jennifer and Sarah. Great-Grandchildren Natalie, Catie, baby Sidney and soon-to-be-born Leonardo.
