Darlynn (McCormick) Spizzeri

In Loving Memory of Darlynn (McCormick) Spizzeri

With profound sadness and disbelief, we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Darlynn (McCormick) Spizzeri, on November 5, 2025, at the age of 73.

Born to Charles and Loyola McCormick, Darlynn was raised in a close-knit family that instilled in her the values of love, kindness, and hard work. She carried those values throughout her life, touching everyone she met with her warmth, generosity, and unwavering devotion to family.

Darlynn was predeceased by her mother, Loyola McCormick; her father, Charles McCormick; her sisters Agnes McConnell, Denise McCormick, and Micki Allis; her brother Michael McCormick; and her husband, Ernest Spizzeri.

She is survived by her daughter Gina Spizzeri and, son-in-law Mike Heinzman, and their children, Evelyn, Jessi, and Mikey; her son, Michael Spizzeri, and daughter-in-law, Amy Kim, and their children, Ernie and Emmi. She is also survived by her siblings: William (Martha) McCormick, Connie (Glen) Cole, Charlene (Gary) Wilson, Babette (Jim) Byington, Kevin (Colette) McCormick, Candice (Jim) Zimar, Kimberly (Howard) Sautter, Todd (Jackie) McCormick, Greg McCormick, Trisha (Terry) Brown; her sister-in-law Barb McCormick; and her brothers-in-law, Terry Allis and Len McConnell.

Family gatherings were always filled with laughter, stories, and the warmth of shared history—moments Darlynn cherished deeply. She was a wonderful cook who found joy in feeding everyone, whether it was a holiday feast or a simple weekday meal. Her kitchen was a place of comfort, and her food was an expression of love.

Her legacy of love, kindness, and strength will live on in all of us. While we are heartbroken by her passing, we find comfort in knowing she is breathing freely and surrounded by the people she loved who have gone before her.
