Vincenza M. “Dolly” Smith, 74, of 913 S. Michael Street, St. Marys, passed away Sunday, February 19, 2023 at the Lutheran Home at Kane.
She was born September 8, 1948, in St. Marys, daughter of the late Anthony and Vincenza Iozzo. She was a lifelong resident of the area, a graduate of Johnsonburg High School, Class of 1966, and was a former employee of Stackpole Carbon, Pure Carbon, Palumbo’s Meat Market, and Elk Haven Nursing Home, where she was a cook.
On April 3, 1987, in Coudersport, PA, she married the late, William R. Smith, Jr., who preceded her in death on January 1, 2008.
Dolly is survived by her son, William Christoff, Jr and his wife Corine, of Wilcox; three grand-children: Calvin Christoff (Allyson), Molly Christoff, and Eric Christoff; two brothers: Bruno Iozzo and his wife Josie, of Coatsville, PA, and Sam Iozzo of Kersey.
