Obituary for Anna D. Izzo (Cacciola)
MECHANICVILLE -Anna D. Izzo, passed away suddenly on January 11th after a brief illness. She was 86.
Born July 25th, 1936 to Vincent and Carmella Musella Cacciola, Anna grew up in Albany and later moved to Mechanicville, which is where she lovingly raised her family. Anna was an amazing cook, best known for her eggplant parmigiana and homemade pizza. Her baking skills rivaled the best in class, and her cheese cakes and pies were the highlight of every family gathering.
Anna was a gifted painter who loved experimenting with different techniques. Aside from her family, her other great loves were traveling, dancing, and playing bocce. We know she’s in heaven recruiting the next championship bocce team.

Also survived by her adoring grandchildren who lovingly called her “Nina” - Jack and Brandon (Rebecca) Izzo; Joshua Coreno; Eric Croucier; Nicholas Randall; and Allison & Anna Izzo. She also leaves behind several nieces & nephews.
