Panetta, Lois M. SCHENECTADY Lois M. Panetta, 90, passed away peacefully on Monday, September 21, 2020. She was born in Corinth on July 29, 1930, and grew up with her mom, the late Helen "Gram" Moylan and her dad, the late Ken "Pop-up" Moylan, alongside three siblings: Connie, Larry, and Dorothy, who have all predeceased her. She was also predeceased by her late husband, Joe, owner of the historic former Panetta's Restaurant in Albany. Lois is survived by her sons, Greg (Jeanette) Winkler, Dominick "DJ" (Renee) Panetta, and Ken (Lori) Panetta; her daughter Mary Ellen (Patrick) Higgins; her grandchildren, Greg Winkler Jr., Kristen (James Cameron) Winkler, Ken (Dana) Panetta Jr., Kristie Lee Panetta, Sean Higgins, Katelyn Higgins, Daniel Higgins, Johanna Panetta and Victoria Panetta; as well as her great-grandchildren, Maisie Panetta, and Kailey and James Cameron.

To Renee and "DJ" and the family and friends of Lois M. Panetta,

It was not my privilege to have known DJ's mom personally, but if a child is a reflection of its parent, then she must have been a grand lady. I will never forget DJ's thoughtfulness when I cracked a rib while skiing at Okemo and had to be hospitalized in Rutland, VT. It was DJ who took custody of my ski equipment and took it to his father's liquor store in the Malta Mall for me to pick up when I was discharged from the hospital. It was a most gracious gesture on his part, and I can attribute his thoughtfulness to the upbringing he received at home.
