Her husband of 68 years, Michael, son Mickey and son-in-law Don Smee were there to welcome her with open arms.
She is survived by son Charles Troncale and wife Mary, daughter LouAnne Troncale Smee, son John Troncale, six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
As a young girl, Rosemary had developed a passion for cooking where she prepared meals to show her love for all. When you entered her kitchen, you’d better be prepared to sit down and eat whether you were hungry or not. When St. Michael’s parish was in it’s infancy, she actively volunteered wherever she was needed. She worked alongside fellow members of the Italian Ladies Allegria Club in the early days of the Houston Italian Festival. She also worked with charitable causes through her membership in The Catholic Daughters of Americas where she held many offices.
Visitation will be held at 11 a.m., Thursday, October 30 at Forest Park Lawndale, 6900 Lawndale Ave., followed by a service at noon.
