Rose Marie Graziano

On January 20, 2016 Rose Marie Graziano born in Buffalo New York, peacefully left this world and ascended into Christ’s loving arms. She was a devoted wife of 69 years to Amelio J. Graziano and an adoring mother of five: Linda Amend (Walter) of Long Island, New York, Sandra Pauly (Robert) of Cape Coral, Florida, Mary Hayes (David) of Cape Coral, Florida, Peter Graziano (Taroll) of Phoenix, Arizona, Paul T. Graziano (Amie) of Fort Myers, Florida. Rose had fifteen grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.

She enjoyed knitting, writing poetry and oil Painting. Rose attended Trinity College in Washington DC. She worked at Roswell Park Cancer Instituted in Orchard Park, New York. After leaving Buffalo she worked as a substitute teacher in the Lee County Public School System. Rose loved to cook with her husband and hosted many dinner parties. She had style and grace and was truly an inspiration to all of her children. We fondly remember her reminiscing and telling stories about her parents whom she adored. Her strong family values have been a guiding force in the lives of all her children. She will live on forever in our hearts; we love you dearly Mom.
