Harriet May Rizzo (nee Wanamaker) age 84 of Fair Lawn passed away on Monday, June 6, 2011 quietly and peacefully at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood. Her loving family was at her bedside.
She was a member of the North Jersey Country Club, Wayne.
Harriet volunteered at the Paterson General Hospital and was proud to have had two 1000 hour pins. She especially enjoyed her time in the Pediatric Department.
She met her husband Emil Rizzo when she was just 14 years old as they used to roller skate together at a roller rink on Market Street in Paterson. Emil was drafted into the Army during WWII where Harriet would write him faithfully. Eventually Emil not only won Harriet’s heart but her parents’ hearts as well. They married on June 20, 1946 and have enjoyed 65 years of loving and devoted marriage.
Harriet was the loving mother of Risa Rizzo and her husband Jack Dunnigan of Wayne, and was the cherished grandmother of Kyle John Dunnigan also of Wayne. She was predeceased by her sister Florence many years ago.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in Harriet’s memory are asked to consider the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation of Northern NJ Chapter, 560 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632.
