Mary Micozzi - Neet

Colonie- Mary Micozzi-Neet ,58, of Colonie passed away December 08, 2022 at Albany Medical Center. She was born in Albany and raised in Selkirk. She was the daughter of Angelo J. Micozzi.

Mary is survived by her husband, Robert S. Neet and sons, Michael David Neet (Houston, TX) and Jared Angelo Neet (Colonie, NY). She is also survived by many nieces and nephews. Mary is predeceased by her brother-in-law, David C. Claflin, her step-mother, Marianne Hill Micozzi and nephew, Jonathan J. Hudor.

Mary graduated from RCS High School and SUNY Plattsburgh, where she gained a Bachelors degree in Education. After graduating, she worked in the restaurant industry at which time she met her husband, Bob. They were married in 1993 and moved to Colonie from Clifton Park.

Family meant everything to Mary. She loved to take care of everyone and made them feel special. Her boys were her life! She was a great “sports mom” and advocate for her children. While Mary was working in the restaurant industry Bob was able to take care of the boys after work. As the boys got older, both Mary and Bob worked outside the home, while at the same time, supporting the boys at school/with after school activities.

Mary loved children. She was a substitute teacher in the South Colonie School System and enjoyed it tremendously. She felt that she was “giving back” to the schools that educated her children. Many children felt that she was their “second mother,” which made her feel so special.

Her favorite foods were a reuben sandwich, Italian deli, a caesar salad and a relaxing cup of tea.
