Mr. Saverio A. "Sam" Zasa

June 20, 1927 - December 2, 2020

UTICA - Mr. Saverio A. “Sam” Zasa, age 93, went home to the Lord on Wednesday, December 2, 2020. Born in Utica on June 20, 1927, Sam was the son of the late Joseph & Anna (Bifalco) Zasa. He was married to the former Mildred Oliver and to that union came the blessing of a son and his family. Mildred passed away in 1980. Sam is survived by his son and daughter-in-law, Kenneth “Ken” & Betty Zasa; granddaughter, Jennifer (Robert) Golden; great-grandchildren, Ashley, Robert, and Dylan Golden; his sister, Carmella Abbott; many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and a sister-in-law, Carol Zasa. He was preceded by his siblings and their spouses, Louise and Leo Abbott, Rocco A. “Rocky” Zasa, Theresa & Joseph Tocco; and a brother-in-law, Joseph Abbott. The family will honor and commemorate Sam’s life at a private time. He will be laid to rest next to his wife in St. Agnes Cemetery. During this time of social distancing that we are all experiencing, please take a moment to connect with Sam’s family through the “Memories” section of his obituary. Our prayers go out to all as a sign of our continued support.
