RoseMarie Mentesana

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we share the passing of our beloved RoseMarie, who left us on May 25, 2023, in the comfort of her cherished home, surrounded by wonderful memories and the love of her family. She touched the lives of so many and will forever be remembered for her kind heart, loyal friendship, and unwavering adoration for her family.

RoseMarie was a devoted wife to her beloved, late husband Salvatore. Their union was one built on love and trust. Together, they created a beautiful family and embraced the joys and challenges life bestowed upon them. RoseMarie found immense joy in her role as mother to her two sons. She was a constant source of support and encouragement and always celebrated their accomplishments. Her unconditional love will forever be treasured by her sons.

RoseMarie was also a loving grandmother. She adored her grandchildren, and their love of music, cooking, and her endless stories of the past. They brought joy to her heart; and the bond she shared with them was truly special and will fill their lives with precious, lifelong memories. As a devoted sister and aunt, she was a pillar of love and leaves behind a legacy of compassion and kindness. She cherished her family and treasured the moments they shared together.

RoseMarie was blessed with an incredible circle of friends who enriched her life in countless ways. Their unwavering support, shared laughter, and unconditional love made for unbreakable bonds that transcended time.

RoseMarie was dedicated and passionate about her work with children in her home childcare and, later in life, as a volunteer. She spent countless years nurturing young people and supporting their families who entrusted them into her care, leaving an indelible impact on those who were fortunate enough to have crossed her path. RoseMarie’s departure leaves a void in our lives, however her spirit, love, and the impact she made on the lives of others lives on. May her gentle soul find eternal peace, and may we find solace in the precious memories she left behind.

In memory of RoseMarie, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Alzheimer's Association. Supporting research and awareness in the fight against this devastating disease would be a fitting tribute to her memory.
