Life Story for Isabelle S. Posypanko (Sitzer)

Isabelle S.  Posypanko (Sitzer)
OXFORD: Isabelle S. Posypanko, age 82, died on November 4, 2009 after a 19 year battle with cancer. She was born on October 2, 1927 to the late Gordon and Anna (Sherer) Sitzer of Millbrook, NY, in the house she grew up in. Isabelle was very proud of her farming background. She went thru 8th grade in a one room schoolhouse in Millbrook and graduated in 1945 from Millbrook High School. She was a 1948 graduate of Vassar Brothers Hospital School of Nursing, Poughkeepsie, NY. She worked at the Vassar Brothers Hospital for 20 years and also did work for Doctors in their private practices. Isabelle was known for her loving, kind and compassionate ways that made her an exceptional nurse. She was an active member with her husband of Three Saints Russian Orthodox Church in Ansonia. She was predeceased by her former husband, Maurice P. Costine, infants, Maurice Allen Costine and Louise Anne Costine, her sister Ida Morris and her brother, L. Woodrow Sitzer. Isabelle is survived by her loving husband and soul mate of 35 years, Peter Posypanko of Oxford, two daughters, Carol Anne Costine of Seymour and Cynthia S. Young (William) of Shelton, a step daughter, Susan Caetano (Robert) of Woodbridge, four grandchildren, Jennifer Caetano and her fiancé of Alan Gagne of Oxford, Michael Caetano of Woodbridge, Collin W. Young and Preston J. Young both of Shelton and her loving niece, Ida DuPaul (Eugene) of Oxford, several nieces and nephews and her special friend, Patricia Seibert of Summerville, NJ. She was a second mom to many of her children’s friends and extended family members. The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to Dr. Martin Katz and his team of dedicated nurses and office staff, as his care and medical attention allowed her family and friends to have 19 more years of wonderful memories with Mom. We would also like to extend our thanks to the wonderful team of nurses and doctors at Griffin Hospital for their love and care during these past 3 weeks, especially Paulina, Allisa, Gail and Donna. The Hospice team of Dr. Lim, Callan, Bernice and Janet were very supportive and helpful during this difficult time as well.
