Justine M. Rizzo, age 58 a resident of Kenosha, died Tuesday October 24th, 2023, at the Hospice Alliance Hospice House in Pleasant Prairie.

On February 14th, 1987, she married Frank Rizzo at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Kenosha. Surrounded by friends and family, the couple celebrated the start of their life. Together, they raised three children; one son and two daughters.
In the early years, Justine spent her days taking care of her children at home and a number of nieces and nephews. After the children grew older, she worked as a housekeeper employed by Carthage College as well as Brookside Care Center.
She enjoyed cooking for her family, crocheting and tinkering in the garden. She would often recruit family members to make homemade raviolis, everyone’s favorite. She was keen on finding the best deals in town and gift giving. She was always thinking of others. Justine enjoyed attending sporting events for her children and other family members.

For my two best girls I am still in sadness learning about your mom’s passing. It seems like just yesterday we all were having a video chat in the aisle of Walgreen’s on 30th ave. I am so sorry and continue my prayers for all of you at this time. Sending hugs and love Mrs Key
Brittany (Rizzo) Mantooth says:
Oh my. I was having a rough night thinking about my mom and just thought I’d take a gander at her obit to read what people had said about her and I can’t believe I missed yours. Ms Keys I can’t even believe it’s you. I immediately started crying after all these years you remember us. My mom and I both loved having you as a teacher at Somers. She spoke frequently of you remembering us and wasn’t sure if it was for good reasons or not. Haha.
I hope you are well. I send my love.
