Ida Scaccio Obituary
Ida Theresa Scaccio (nee Capozzoli) died peacefully in her home with her family by her side on November 28, 2018 in Tallmadge, Ohio at the age of 97.
Ida is survived by her children, John Scaccio (Barb Zoller) of Rootstown, Linda (Paul) Fasick of Tallmadge, Ramona (Bill Perrie) of Tallmadge, and Joe (Rose) Scaccio of Tallmadge; grandchildren, Paul II (Shari) Fasick, Zara Rose Scaccio, Carmen Dominic Scaccio; great-grand
children, Isabella Gail Fasick, Sophia Aida Fasick and Paul Fasick III; son-in-law, Ron Dickey. She is preceded in death by her husband, Carmen; daughter, Irene Dickey; sisters, Camilla Baltrinic and Angela Capozzoli; brothers, Dominic Capozzoli and Anthony Vincent Capozzoli; mother, Anna Marie and father, Raffele Capozzoli of Akron, Ohio.
Ida was born on November 1, 1921 in Akron, Ohio to Raffele and Anna Marie Capozzoli. She was the youngest of five children in the Capozzoli family. She graduated from North High School and began a career in pen and ink fashion art. However, when the men were being called to war, there was a need for pen and ink artists in the war industry. Ida took her art skills and went to work for Firestone as a lady draftsman drafting 40 mm bofor guns. Her contribution was so great she was listed in a book written about the era of women draftsmen. After the war was over she left Firestone to begin her family; marrying Carmen Scaccio on July 13, 1946. From here on, all her interests were put aside and she immersed herself in her greatest passion, raising her children and supporting her husband in all his career endeavors. Ida, even as the matriarch of the family, made time to focus on her own interests. Her husband
Carmen was known as the businessman, but Ida was an entrepreneur all her own. She created the infamous 'Pickle People' jars that were sold nationwide. Ida also was an accomplished watercolor artist and often sold her work in art shows and stores throughout Ohio. Ida had a way of making friends of strangers and family of friends. She was warm hearted and open minded and loved conversation from all the people she would meet. Her smile was infectious and her warmth disarming. The world has lost one of the best it had to offer.

I first met Ida (Mom as she was known to me) in the early 90's through her daughter, Irene. We (Irene and I) belonged to a professional organization. Irene and I were inseparable. Soon Mom and I were the same. When I loss my mother, Ida became my "Mom".
As I moved up the board in
the organization, Irene and Mom moved right along with me. No matter what the occasion, I could look out in the audience and see Mom sitting there with a smile on her face. Both she and Irene were my strength and encouragement.
I spent time in their homes and was always treated like family. We shared dinners, made cookies and candies for our organizational events. Her husband (Carmen) even prepared dinner for one of my board meetings! It was delicious. We have laughed together and we have cried together.
Good people are hard to find in life. Both Irene and Mom were two such people. I will cherish the paintings that Mom gave to me, as they are a part of her. More than that I will cherish the fond memories and love that she shared with me. Heaven is now a more richer place with a new "angel", Ida.
My sincere condolences to the entire Scaccio Family. Mom is at last at "peace".

I want to add another fond memory of Ida- her remarkable talent and generosity. She did this painting of our Yakubik family home for the 50th wedding anniversary of my parents. We lived next door to the Scaccios.
Again sending our sincere condolences to the Scaccio family.

Aunt Ida lived a full and beautiful life. Her artistic talent was always a joy to see. She was always genuinely interested in whatever story was being told, and you knew she was listening because she followed every conversation with questions! She loved stories of her Italian roots and family. We loved her sense of humor and laugh. Michael has many fond memories of growing up and interacting with the Scaccio family. My boys will always remember being included in New Year's Eve parties at the Scaccio home. John, Linda, Ramona, Joe and your entire family are in our prayers. She lived a wonderful life and she will be missed by many.

Dear Ramona, Linda, Joe, John, and families...
It is with great sadness that we read of Ida being called home to God. We feel your earthly loss must be a great joy for Carmen as he welcomed Ida with open arms.
Ida was a lady of great class and talent, warm and gentle words to all she talked with, a loving Mother to each of you and a proud and happy Grandmother. She was blessed with a long and family filled journey, and now she is with her God of Perfection.
May that same God wrap each of you in His strength and peace and give you many memories to make your heart smile in the days to come.
We are unable to be with you, however we send you loving sympathy...sincerely,
John and Linda Doepker
