Betsy Ann Kegg Lizza
Uniontown
Betsy Ann Kegg Lizza, 67, passed away peacefully Sunday, February 9, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.
Betsy was born June 18, 1957, in Uniontown, a daughter of the late Tom and Lois Bell Kegg.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her in-laws, Mario and Adelina Lizza.
Betsy leaves behind a cherished family. She is survived by her loving husband of 46 years, John; and their two children, John Lizza Jr. and wife Kelly of Uniontown, Adele Dean and husband Jeremiah of Uniontown. Betsy was blessed with two grandsons, Austin and Cooper Dean, whom she adored. Additionally, she leaves behind her siblings, in-laws, nephews, nieces and cousins, who will forever remember her bright spirit.
Betsy was a graduate of Uniontown High School and retired from her career as a police communications officer with the Pennsylvania State Police.
A devoted wife, mom and granny, Betsy leaves behind a legacy of kindness and love. She always put the needs of her family first and dedicated her life to being the most wonderful Mom to her kids, nurturing them with endless love and support, and then being the best “Granny Betsy” to her grandchildren, whom she spoiled with playtime and attention.
Betsy was full of personality – always smiling and laughing, but could be quite feisty. She loved to travel and enjoyed vacations with her family – several weeks spent in Italy, and yearly beach vacations were her favorite.
She adopted many pets, and leaves behind her two pet companions, Emmy and Sophia.
Her joyous spirit, bright smile and unique laugh will be missed. Betsy knew that the greatest blessings in life are those we hold close to our hearts. Her life was truly a testament of family and love, and she will be missed dearly.
