Jean Zannoni's Obituary
Dr. Jean S. Zannoni. MD
Passed away peacefully at home in her sleep on 1/12/22. Beloved daughter of renowned medical pioneer and president of Severance Medical School in Seoul, Dr Paul Dong Choy. Beloved sister to 7 brothers & sisters. Graduate of Ewha Medical School & Assistant.Prof. of Psychiatry. Internship at Deaconess Hosp. in Cleveland where she met co-intern Dr. Michael D. Zannoni, married & raised 3 children. For nearly 50 yrs the two practiced Family Medicine & Psychiatry in private practice & at Deaconess, Grace, St. John's & other local hospitals. A Fellow in the American Academy of Family Practice, she delighted a phalanx of devoted patients with the gift of sincerity, great medical perception, accurate diagnoses & often a lifetime of improved health & brilliantly swift early detection & treatment of potentially catastrophic illnesses that saved countless lives. Her training also included a residency in Pathology at Metro General Hospital and a residency in General Surgery at Huron Rd Hospital. She was a gentle soul to her countless patients and a great diagnostician.
She was funny, beautiful, outrageously nonchalant about ignoring unproductive social customs in favor of the rational, the pure, or the interesting. She was preternaturally gifted with the quick solution of complex problems, respect for uncovering the actual nature of the essential problem and, how and why knowing both was always best practice on the road to achievement. She imparted bravery, independence, and a brilliant second sight into the useful, genuine, and real into her children & their children & to the beloved world of close knit associates, colleagues, relatives & patients-who will never forget her uncanny uniqueness, tender loving nature & comprehensive devotion to a medical profession she was born to through the luck of aptitude & the solitary play of truly great and indefatigable medical mind. VODRAZKA FUNERAL HOME 6505 Brecksville Rd.,Independence, OH 44131 on MONDAY 1/17/22. Viewing 4-7 PM, services 7-7:30 PM.
