Obituary of Rose Iannaco

Rose Iannaco, 80, of Silver Spring, MD formerly of Lake George, NY, passed away on Wednesday, April 1, 2015 at Medstar Montgomery General Hospital. Born on April 23, 1934 in Benevento, Italy, she was the daughter of the late Attilio and Annunziata (Ricciardi) Zollo and Josephine Zollo (stepmother). She married Vincent "Jim" Iannaco on October 20, 1956. Rose was employed by the Lake George School District for 18 years as a Teacher's Aide, where she touched many lives. She was like a second mom to many of her students. Her passion was her family; cooking for them and their friends. She always had a vacuum or carpet sweeper in her hand. She enjoyed traveling and took two cross country trips with her husband. Her most precious joy was spending time with her family and her 4 grandsons. She is survived by her daughters Nancy McKee and Dawn Iannaco-Hahn and her husband David, of Silver Spring, MD and her son Robert Iannaco and his wife Edna of Swanton, VT; four grandsons, Justin McKee of Washington, DC, Vincent Iannaco of Swanton, VT and Tanner and Brennan Hahn of Silver Spring, MD. She is also survived by one sister, Lisa Nigro of Queensbury, NY, her sisters-in- law/brother-in-law, Mary and Louis Tessier of Lake George, NY and Georgie Iannaco of Howard Beach, NY. She is also survived by her many nieces and nephews and their children. The family has requested that in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Brain Tumor Association or the National Stroke Association. A memorial service will be held on April 18, 2015 at 1:30 at St. Peters, Olney, MD. Arrangements are being done by Rapp Funeral and Cremation Services.
