Joanne M. Fabrizio 1939-2025

Joanne was born June 22, 1939, to Dominic and Rose Santore DiPasquale.

Joanne was a proud Wilson High School Class of 1957 graduate. She enjoyed many years of “57” girls’ luncheons and Christmas parties. She was a proud scholarship recipient from St. Elizabeth Hospital, where she became a cytotechnologist and worked in the lab.

She completed a funeral director apprenticeship, passed her state board and worked side by side with her husband at Fabrizio Funeral Home until his passing on Sept. 1, 1996. She then continued the family tradition for 18 years, working until her retirement in 2014.

Joanne is survived by her daughter, Marianne (Ed) Klein; granddaughter, Kaitlyn (Eric) Liston; grandson, Nicholas Klein; great-grandson, Oliver Joseph Liston; sister, Maria (Rick) Cunningham; brother, Gary DiPasquale; and several nieces and nephews.
