Robyn Capozza

Jun. 10, 1979 – Feb. 21, 2019
Robyn Michelle Capozza passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, Feb. 21 at 9:24 p.m. She was surrounded by her loving family and her beloved dog Oliver.

Robyn was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. and grew up in Rockland County, N.Y. She attended the State University of New York at Buffalo and received her degree in Communications. She would go on to utilize her discerning eye for fashion in her role as an e-commerce fashion merchandiser for Nine West Holdings. Robyn loved to travel, especially to the tropics.

Robyn was predeceased by her mother Debra Weisinger (Migdel), grandfather Emanuel Migdel, grandfather Samuel Weisinger, grandmother Bernice Weisinger (Leibowitz) and father-in-law Michele Capozza. She is survived by her devoted husband Antonio Capozza, her loving sister Sindy Weisinger, her benevolent aunt and uncle Shelley and Marc Sidenworm, grandmother Bernice Migdel (Evenitzky), mother-in-law Gerarda Capozza (Ambrosecchia), sister-in-law Lisa Fratello and her husband Michael, brother-in-law Rick Capozza and his wife Erin, her niece Avery and nephew Michael.

Robyn’s humor and gentle disposition will be sorely missed. She deeply touched everyone she came into contact with and all who met her instantly loved her. A special thanks to her trusted physicians Dr. Dickerman Hollister of Greenwich Hospital, Dr. Lecia Sequist of Massachusetts General, and especially Dr. James Brunetti of Greenwich. Dr Brunetti developed a special bond of friendship with Robyn and his loving and compassionate care will never be forgotten by the Capozza family.

Her family will receive friends on Monday, Feb. 25 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Coxe & Graziano Funeral Home, 134 Hamilton Ave. Her funeral mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 26 at St. Roch’s Church, 10 Saint Roch Ave., followed by a private entombment at St. Mary’s Cemetery in Greenwich.
