Rose Lucille Vetti, 90, of Glendora, California passed away peacefully on July 16, 2020. She was born in Los Angeles, California on June 27, 1930 to Charles and Lena Parrino. Rose married the love of her life, Lee “Papa” Vetti on September 24th, 1950. They were married for over 63 years. Together they had four children, eleven grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.

Rose will always be remembered for her patience, kindness, selflessness, wit, willingness to listen, and her unconditional love for others. She was a fantastic cook in the Italian-American tradition, and brought joy to all who sat at her table. Rose was a true angel, and her faith, values, and traditions will live on through her family.

Rose Vetti is survived by her four children: daughter Charlene (Gregory) Schofield, daughter Paula (Joseph) Rubinstein, son Rick Vetti, and daughter Gina Vanderploeg; and her siblings Anthony (Yvonne) Parrino, and Catherine (Jerry) Jack.
