Gregory "Greggie" Joseph Iezzi

Gregory Joseph Iezzi, 68, of Newmanstown, PA passed away on Thursday, August 24, 2023. Born in Reading, PA on November 5, 1954, he was a son to the late Joseph A. Iezzi and Carmela Mary (Napolitano) Iezzi.

Greg received his bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Anthropology from Penn State University, in 1980. With a dream of caring for others, he continued his education at Reading Area Community College earning his associate's degree in Nursing, a bachelor’s of science degree in Nursing from Cedar Crest College and a master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Kutztown University.

For 40 years, Greg was a Registered Nurse working at various hospitals throughout his career; last working for Lehigh Valley Hospital-Schuylkill. He was also a Clinical Specialist for 20 years working for Berkshire Psychiatric & Behavioral Health-Wyomissing. Greg was a medical professional who possessed a strong work ethic and a natural gift for serving others. He was very conscientious in serving his patients with dignity, respect and true compassion and was often described as passionate, intelligent, and meticulous by those who worked with him.

Greg (fondly known to many as "Greggie") will be fondly remembered for his love of the holidays, especially Christmas. He looked forward to picking out a fresh tree every year and he really loved decorating it. Greg was a collector of ALL holiday music and movies; mainly Christmas - of course ! He also was a Pittsburgh Steelers fan and had a soft spot for animals.

Greg was a Jack of all trades, and took great pride in all the renovations, repairs and painting of his family's 1860 farmhouse, in Millbach. He was a devoted husband and doting father who worked hard to provide his family with an amazing life. Greg was the sort of person who could be counted on to be there when needed, and although he accomplished so much of which to be proud of; he was a humble man who was filled with quiet strength. He will be missed by all blessed enough to have known him.

Greg's spirit will be carried on by his wife, Susan; daughter Gracie; stepdaughter Danielle Williams and his brother Anthony Iezzi. In addition to his parents, Greg was preceded in death by his sister Angela Bryson.

The family will greet relatives and friends on Saturday, September 9, 2023 from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM at Theo C. Auman Inc., 247 Penn Street, Reading, PA 19601, followed by a celebration of life service promptly commencing at 1:00 PM.
