Thomas OldaniMy condolences to the Zuzinec and Capponi families. Growing up in the Columbus park neighborhood many years ago the Capponi and Oldani families were close. They lived 2 doors down in the (Russo) House. Pat's brother Joe hung out with Tom & Bob Oldani. Pat was older but her and her sister Judy and their mom (Alice)were great friends. Lots of good memories.

Jessica PierceSo sorry for the loss of this great woman. I knew her for many years, and she always treated me as family. From just playing cards, to eating her delicious homemade ravioli, she made you feel loved and welcomed. I learned quite a bit about entertaining from her as well, cold salad plates and she would even warm up the dinner plates. I remember visiting her once and we decided to have sonic drive in for lunch. Of course we couldn’t eat it there so we took it back to the house and she warmed up the plates and served the burgers on them. I giggled because my family would have just eaten it off the paper, but not her, every meal (even fast food) was handled with love. She was an amazing person and I’m sure she’s cooking up a storm in heaven. She is missed dearly. Lots of love to the Zuzinec family, my prayers are with you. ?????? Love always, Jess

Joan SturyczMy condolences on the passing of Pat Zuzinec. My older brother Steve Sturycz used to live across the street from Pat and Ray. I've known both for so many years. Pat was such a beautiful and kind lady. She always had a smile and a wonderful laugh. May she rest in peace. Maybe she will be Steve's neighbor again in Heaven. My prayers to the family!
