Roselie Jean Livingston

Roselie J. Livingston, 81, of Farmington, passed away peacefully on October 18, 2023. She was the wife of her late beloved William R. Livingston, Jr. She was also predeceased by her loving parents, Stanley and Mary Zyskowski; her brother and her rock, Stan; and her precious daughter, Lori.

Rose was creative in needlework, baking, crafting, gardening, and more. A longtime Southington resident, she was an active supporter of the Southington High School Marching Band, and enjoyed searching for more books to read and playing in card leagues with her friends. She was also the consummate practical joker -- ask her pals in the bandbackers about that time when...

Most of all, she cherished time with her family and friends. Rose treasured every moment she spent with her grandsons and avidly followed their creative and sports pursuits. She was fortunate to have the love and support of life-long and enduring friendships, always looking forward to catching up about the grands with Mary Jane, to the wonderful support (and fish tales!) from Dick and Eleanor, and Ted and Gayle, to her Atlantic City adventures with Fil.

Rose had a bubbly enthusiasm for life's small pleasures, and will be sorely missed by her children, Valerie; Stanley and his wife, Brenda; Jennie and her husband, Steve; Lori's fiance, Ken; grandsons Caelan, Cameren, and Ben; cousin Barbara, with whom she remained as close as sisters; and several cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, November 4, 2023 from 9am until 10am at New Britain Memorial Sagarino Funeral Home, 444 Farmington Ave., New Britain, CT 06053. A memorial service will immediately follow at 10am in the funeral home. Burial will follow in Sacred Heart Cemetery, New Britain. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, please consider supporting Friends of Southington Library, 255 Main Street, 06489.
