Luona M. Danaher

Troy - Luona Marie (ne'e Suriano) Pazinko 76, affectionately known as Loni, entered eternal rest peacefully surrounded by her loved ones on April 24, 2025, at Virginia Beach, VA. She was born on December 26, 1948, in Troy NY, graduated from Troy HS 1966 and later went on to earn a degree in business from HVCC. Loni loved and enjoyed all her family, including her cousins, she found great joy when they were all together creating lifelong memories. She especially enjoyed teaching people how to make her sauce and meatballs. She enjoyed traveling, the mountains (partial to ADK's), the ocean, sun and sand. We will never forget her passion for visiting casinos. She was a social butterfly and always willing to listen and yes give her honest opinion even to strangers. As a result of her passion for shopping I do believe there will be several stores that may be closing. Loni and Andy lived in Virginia Beach for several years until work relocated them to FL where they became residents until retirement.

Loni is predeceased by her husband Andrew Pazinko. She is survived by her loving daughters Michele WIdmer (Michael) Monique Savoy (Robert) Jeanette Kizer. Her grandchildren Katelynn Meppen (Tim), Christopher Widmer (Danielle), Makayla, Breahna, Mason, Braden Savoy, Ayla & Brody Kizer. Her great grandchildren Jordyn, Grayson, Jackson & Benson.

She is predeceased by her parents Marjorie Wood Rezey and John Suriano, also her brother William Tofick Rezey. She is survived by her siblings Yvonne Rezey, Annette (Michael) Turner, Paul (Erin) Rezey, Ward (Cindy) Rezey, along with several nieces, nephews.

Even though health complications took her away from this world her loving heart leaves a beacon of light for all who knew her.

Beautiful butterfly, we will always carry your memory in our hearts.
