Obituary of Nancy A. Fazzary

Nancy A. Fazzary, age 80, of Watkins Glen, NY passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 9, 2024, surrounded by her family. Nancy was born in Buffalo, NY, on October 30, 1943.

Nancy married Dominick "Art" Fazzary in February, 1962. They worked together driving taxi at Watkins Glen State Park for several years before taking over LaFaces in 1972, changing its name to "Art & Nancy's". This is where Nancy not only mothered her own 5 children, but also the numerous young people who frequented their establishment. Nancy never hesitated to "hold a tab" for anyone. Art & Nancy's was often referred to many as "the store" where it gave many parents peace of mind knowing their children were chaperoned while hanging out with friends after a HS game, or dance, while enjoying pizza, eclairs, Mexican sundaes, playing pinball, pool and foosball.

After 37 years of marriage she continued serving the community following Art's passing with the help of many family members. Nancy loved bowling with her sister and close friends, playing euchre and bingo, listening to Elvis music and spending endless hours in her flower garden.

She is survived by her children, Tina Fazzary Ector, Donna (John) Patykula, Dominick Jr. (Teresa) Fazzary, Michael (Jeannette) Fazzary and Jeffrey (Heidi) Fazzary; 14 grandchildren, Caleb (Mary), Elizabeth (Andrew), Nathaniel, Krista, Dylan (Kayla), Connor, Leeah, Bloom, Gem, Sequoia, Ixchel, Quil, Gabrielle (Calvin) and Dominick; 6 great-grandchildren; brother-in-law Sam (Doris) Fazzary, James (Marie) Fazzary, sister-in-law, Reda Fazzary, along with several nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her husband, Dominick "Art" Fazzary; parents, Harold and Donna (Lilley) Mickel; step daughter, Diane Gamble; sister, Carol (Dominick) Schimizzi; and many greatly loved in-laws.

Relatives and friends are invited to call on Saturday, April 13, 2024 from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm at Vedder-Scott & Zinger Funeral Home, 122 N. Genesee St., Montour Falls, NY.
