Her children were present at the time of her passing. She was born in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, to Cecelia and Clifford Goldy and attended Seton Hill College.
In 1955, she married John A. Stanzione, a petroleum engineer. Their residence moved frequently due to his career, covering locations in West Texas, New Mexico, California, Colorado, New Jersey, and Louisiana before the couple settled in Denver.
Stanzione is described as a cook and gardener who enjoyed hiking with the Colorado Mountain Club, reading, traveling, and watching movies at Chez Artiste. She was a regular at Bonnie Brae Ice Cream and advocated for women's rights.
She is survived by her children Cecelia Cotton, Frances Stanzione, Tony Stanzione, Vincent Stanzione, and Charles Stanzione, along with four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Her husband John, her parents, and her siblings predeceased her.
A family burial service is scheduled for November 6, 2026, at Mt. Olivet Cemetery. The family requests donations to environmental, women's, or social justice charities in lieu of flowers and acknowledges the care provided by Boulder Sunrise Senior Living.
