Our Betty Jo Pizza passed away Friday, May 13, 2022. She was born in West Virginia on May 31, 1934 to James and Lola Burke and had an older brother Bill. She left her small town in West Virginia at 18 to work for the FBI in Washington DC. On the steps of the capital she met the love of her life Frank Pizza and they were happily married for 52 years. They were blessed with four children John, Patricia, Mary and Melissa. They were further blessed with seven grandchildren and four great grandchildren. She found the joy of love again later in life for five wonderful years with her second husband Fred Hess.
Betty was known for her contagious passion for life and always dressed to impress. She was a truly altruistic woman with overwhelming kindness and generosity to all those around her. Betty was an avid sports fan, a dedicated member of St. Marks church, and played a vital role in her Bohemia and Shoreham communities. To this day her voice is still ringing through the stands at Connetquot junior high.
The family welcomes donations to charity as an expression of sympathy instead of flowers.
