Phyllis Ann Dizzonne Obituary (1946

Phyllis Ann Dizzonne, 69, of Zion passed away on Sunday, February 14, 2016 at her home. She was born April 6, 1946 in Kenosha, WI. She was a member of Our Lady of Humility Parish in Zion and retired from the VA Hospital as a secretary, supervisor and secretary to the Chief of Nursing after 31 years of service. Phyllis was a gifted painter and artist. She was an avid reader, animal lover and one who appreciated the arts and her family's musical talents. She was an enthusiastic Pro-Life (Right to Life) advocate, Devout Catholic and Prayer Warrior. Her spirit was always quick-witted, funny and clever. She is the strongest person any of us know and had so much care in her heart for others. She was not only a mother and hero to her own children, but considered a "surrogate" mother to many throughout her life. Despite her own sufferings & hardship (like keeping up with her husband's idiosyncrasies), she is in one word: a Saint. Phyllis is survived by her loving husband of over 37 years, Michael; children, Anthony Dizzonne, Kimberly Dizzonne, Angela Dizzonne; grandchildren, Alexis and Anthony, Jr.; siblings, Curt (Suzanne) Hanrahan, Jeanine (Nick) Mayor, Warren (Maryann) Hanrahan; sister-in-law, Arlene Hanrahan; nephews, Kevin, Craig (Melissa), Sean Hanrahan, Captain Mark (Malori) Mayor, Captain Matthew Mayor, Timothy Hanrahan; nieces, Erin and Brian Udell, Megan and David Peterson. She is preceded in death by her son, Christopher Dizzonne; parents, Emery and Ruth Hanrahan and brother, Michael Hanrahan.
