Nancy Guzzetta Obituary
Nancy was born on Nov. 26, 1933, in Clarion, Pa., a daughter of John and LaRita Louise Heckerdon Altman. On Sept. 9, 1965, at the First Unitarian Church in Buffalo, she married her husband of 55 years, Charles Guzzetta, who survives.
Nancy was a 1951 graduate of Olean High School. She was a registered nurse, but her heart was in her antique costume and prop business, which she operated in Port Jefferson for more than 40 years.
Countless patrons around the United States and other countries have praised her encyclopedic knowledge, exquisite taste and brilliant imagination. People often referred to her as their "Fairy Godmother," because of her amazing ability to transform their world with costumes that made them look and feel wonderful. She astounded everyone with her original ideas, contagious spirit and boundless energy. She changed lives. Everyone she met was better for knowing her.
Along with her loving husband, Charles, Nancy is survived by three sons, Charles Guzzetta, Thomas Guzzetta and David (Lorraine) Guzzetta; three grandchildren, Theodore, Chas and Emilia; six siblings, Doris A. (Joseph) Martino of Las Vegas, Nev., David R. (Margaret) Altman of Beverly, Mass., Gerald R. (Sandi) Altman of Scottsdale, Ariz., Betsy A. (Michael) Zampogna of Olean, Tootsie (John) Willman of Lake Wylie, S.C., and James Douglas Altman of Reseda, Calif.; and many nieces and nephews.
Nancy was predeceased by her parents; and three siblings, Robert L. Altman on Dec. 1, 2013, John William "Bill" Altman in 2014 and Jeanine L. Olkosky in September 2017.
