NAPA - Dovelia (Dee) Brazzi died peacefully in Napa on Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2009. She was born in a small village called Pianello Lario on Lake Como in Italy to Constantine and Josefina Granzella on Jan. 16, 1918. She came to America through Ellis Island at an early age and moved to Napa, where she lived the remainder of her life.
Dee was a devoted and loving mother, a great Italian cook, an avid golfer, a world traveler and a prunepicker. She was generous to a fault, possessed the greatest smile and was always ready to go anywhere anytime.

She is also survived by many nieces and nephews in Italy and America, including cousin Annie Emmolo, Mary Cittoni, the Contessa Elena Bruni of Italy and her son, Marco.
