Lynn Ennis Iozzo, Ph.D., of Gladwyne, PA, died peacefully surrounded by family on Friday January 3rd, 2014. Lynn Ennis Iozzo was born in Boise, Idaho, on Sept. 7, 1949. She spent her youth with her family in adventures between Boise and Sun Valley, Idaho. The siren's call of Italy's magnificent art, music, and history, however, drew Lynn to ten years' living in Florence, Italy, where she met her future husband, Dr. Renato V. Iozzo. She graduated from the University of Florence with a doctorate degree Summa cum laude in Etruscan Studies, in July of 1977. She was the first American woman to graduate from such a prestigious Classical University. In 1982, Lynn and Renato moved to the Philadelphia area where he was able to develop his expertise in cancer research, and she was able to explore the magnificent cultural institutions which abound in this area. The additions of their two sons Rex and Alex made the Philadelphia Experience complete and incomparably satisfying. In 1994, Lynn began teaching Middle School Latin at The Shipley School in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. Not only was she able to enjoy the educational process with hundreds of memorable students and splendid colleagues, but she was also able to take many groups of young people to Italy. She also accompanied several students on summer "digs" at a Roman Villa in Tuscany, quite a unique opportunity for younger students. Lynn is survived by her husband Renato and sons Alex and Rex of Gladwyne, PA; by her both beloved sister Paula Ennis of Stowe, VT, and brother Scott Ennis of Cupertino, CA, with their respective spouses Jim Black and Leia Tunnaye; by her niece Kat and nephews Matt and Patrick; by her mother-in-law Maria and brother-in-law Mario Iozzo of Florence, Italy, and by her Italian nephews Marco and Giuseppe and niece Antonella; and by five cousins in Idaho. In celebration of Lynn’s life, a memorial service for her will be held on Sunday, February 2, 2014, 1:00 pm, at Shipley School. Donations - in lieu of flowers - may be made to: The Shipley School (Dr. Lynn Ennis Iozzo Memorial Scholarship Fund) and send it to Chris Farr, Director of Development, The Shipley School, 814 Yarrow Street, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010.
