PLEASE NOTE: The Funeral Mass for Julia P. Zisa, scheduled for Saturday, December 24, 2016 at 10 AM, has been moved from St. Gerards RC Church, Paterson to St. John the Baptist, Bishop Rodimer Center, 387-389 Grand Street, Paterson.
Julia P. Zisa, age 90 and life-long resident of Paterson, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2016. She was daughter to the late Elizabeth and Guerino Piermattie.
Julia had been an Executive Secretary to Engineering at Kearfott during her early career. She was very organized and fastidious by nature, and the engineers at Kearfott loved the way she worked. She was always proud how much they appreciated her work there. She had also worked for Dr. Dumont who founded Dumont Industries and the Dumont Televsion Network. Dr. Dumont invented one of the first TV’s in Upper Montclair, NJ, and he started the Dumont Television Network to provide the first content to be viewed on his TV’s. When her daughter was born, Julia embarked on her most rewarding career ever; as a full time mom.
Julia was the consummate homemaker, wife and mother. She loved housekeeping and kept a perfectly clean home. She was a devoted wife to her beloved Louis, and the best mom possible to her daughter Linda. Linda will tell you what a fantastic cook she was, as well as the most nurturing and loving mother a girl could have asked for. Julia was simply a great mom and Linda will miss her dearly.
Julia met her husband Louis during the 1940’s. Merely by coincidence the two of them were visiting unrelated patients at the St. Joseph’s Hospital in Paterson. They met in the hallway outside the patient rooms, and Louis asked her for her phone number. Louis resembled a young Gregory Peck then, which made him nearly irresistible to Julia. The two of them began dating soon after that. They were married on October 7, 1950 and after enjoying a memorable honeymoon to Niagara Falls, they settled down for a lifetime in Paterson. Linda describes her parents as “inseparable” and “in love; heart, mind, & soul.” Louis was an angel and Julia was the most wonderful wife to him. They were blessed with a truly wonderful, loving marriage. After Louis’ sudden passing in 1998, Julia’s sadness never subsided and she has missed him terribly ever since.
Julia is survived by her beloved daughter Linda Zisa of Paterson, her niece; Jacqueline DiPasquale of Totowa, Lisa Hack of Hackettstown, Elaine Piermattie of Hawthorne, Ginny Piermattie of Pennsylvania, her sister-in-law; Diane Piermattie of Hackettstown, two grand-nephews; Joseph DiPasquale and his wife Kristen, Steven DiPasquale and his girlfriend Amanda, and two great-grand nieces; Isabella and Ava DiPasquale, and many more loving family. She was predeceased by her devoted husband Louis in 1998, by her sister; Theresa Mania of Totowa in 2010, and by her brothers; Vincent and Charles Piermattie.
