Marcella A. Petruzzi 1954-2021

Marcy was a brilliant woman, a loving wife, mother, sister, and aunt who will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Born Oct. 1, 1954, Marcy was the daughter of Francis and Margaret Koury George.

In 1972, she graduated from Ursuline High School, and, in 1977, earned a Bachelor of Science degree in medical technology from Youngstown State University.

Marcy was employed as a medical technologist at Northside Hospital for 22 years, where she taught medical technology students and medical residents in addition to working in the hematology department and quality control. Later, she worked for many years as a clinical research coordinator at St. Elizabeth Hospital and retired in 2016.

A natural artist, Marcy’s talents resulted in beautiful pottery and jewelry, and, in the kitchen, delicious meals she prepared for family and friends. In addition, she was a remarkably witty, funny person who easily commanded a room and entertained all who had the privilege of knowing her with her storytelling and mimicry.

Marcy will be remembered and cherished by all who loved her: her husband of 43 years, John Petruzzi of Boardman; her children, John Guy Petruzzi of Boardman and Gianna Marcella Petruzzi of Boardman; her siblings, Jeffry George of Cortland, Daniel (Pam) George of Midland, Texas, Mary Bess George of Canfield, and Timothy (Patty) George of Boardman; her brothers-in-law, James (Patty) Petruzzi of Girard, Edward (Rhonda) Petruzzi of Youngstown and William Guy Petruzzi of Toledo; her sisters-in-law Patty (Frank) Dundee of Boardman and Sandy (Tim) Ball of Youngstown; and many beloved nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

In addition to her parents, Marcy was preceded in death by her daughter, Leah Christine Petruzzi; her brother, Francis George Jr.; her in-laws, Guy and Clara June McDonough Petruzzi; and her sister-in-law, Maggie Hagan.

There will be a Mass of Christian burial at noon Tuesday, Nov. 16, 2021, at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church, 7345 Westview Drive, Boardman, OH 44512, with the Rev. Philip Rogers presiding. Guests are asked to meet at the church on Tuesday.

The family asks that all non-vaccinated guests wear a mask.

Marcy will be laid to rest in Calvary Cemetery in Youngstown.
