Clara A. Capoccia

May 14, 1938 — March 8, 2023

Edison

Clara A. (Zatta) Capoccia, 84, of Edison, NJ passed away on March 8, 2023. Clara was born May 14, 1938, to Albert and Blanch Pearl (Kerr) Zatta in Avella, PA. She married John J. Capoccia on January 30, 1964, and together they raised four children. She was a long-time employee of RCA which after several mergers became Lockheed Martin.

 

After retirement, she was active in her grandson’s cub scout pack, gardening, flea markets and collecting dolls, Lenox, and snow globes. She traveled to Ohio every year to visit family. She loved to watch “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” and “Long Kiss Goodnight”. She only made lasagna during Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was highly anticipated.
