Our dear Aunt Rose will be missed for so many reasons - and yes long phone conversations is just one of them. She always could make me smile or laugh when feeling down. Loved hearing her stories. Wished I could have enjoyed more of her great cooking.  
     My mom, Carmela looked forward to receiving her letters - we'd read them together.   It was great fun having the California cousins come visit the Connecticut cousins.    
     Very thankful for Aunt Rose attending my brother Ralph's wedding and my sister Adele's  wedding. It was a comfort to us as our mom had just passed away the previous year. 
     She was what family love is all about.  We will always love our Aunt Rose / Ruddy.      

What can I say about my Aunt Rose. She was like a 2 nd mother to me, she was such a large part of my childhood and who I am today. #12 out of 14 Children my Grandparents had. She was one of the strongest woman I ever knew. She was a major part of everything I did that meant something to me in my life. I use to love making her and my Cousins laugh when we all got together for family events. She was the life of every party and I could always listen to her tell stories about her childhood and our Italian family  in New York when she was a kid growing up. I’m going to miss her more then I could ever imagine. May God Hold all of us close as we Say Good bye for now. I Love you Aunt Ruddy and will never forget the Aunt  u were to me and will miss you everyday.    RIP.  

Aunt Rose, my Italian aunt. This lady had so much spunk and feisty in her blood that it came out in her cooking. A memory I will always have was helping her make this Italian dish that I know as Rice Balls while we were at Glen Ivy camping. I loved helping because I got to taste and bake. She was such an amazing soul. I will always remember her and uncle Chris. Miss you Aunt Rose.  

I remerber rose when I was young and my Mom Rose where friend we use to get together every 4th of July, we grew up with Liz , Maria, Anna rose , loved going to there house, Rose away had something cooking , and we would alway play in there BIG back yard, remerber Anna rose smashing her finger in a door and had to go to the hospital, wish we would of stayed in touch, see you in a few weeks. Rest In Peace Rose Give my mom a big hug, I sure do miss her. 

My Mom the most beautiful, selfless, caring , loving, woman I know , I’m so proud to be her daughter and I miss her terribly, My mom could make friends everywhere she went , I remember one time my dad had left her sitting somewhere, maybe a theme park , and he came back to a crowd  around my mom and she had a whole new group of friends lol.. that laugh, that phone call when you knew you would be on the phone for at least a hour lol ... and usually on the busiest day at work , god I’m gonna miss that 😢, she was my best friend and I was her mini me .. her baby as she introduced me , a 56 year old lol,... Even in her last days in the hospital she looked up at me and said , My Anna ! I’m Not sure how I’m gonna recover from this but I can just look forward to meeting you again mom , I love you and Arrivederci mommy , till we meet again ❤️❤️🌹

There are so many memories, it’s hard to keep it short.  While we were not blood related, we were and are family with the Prestigiacomo’s.  I was the youngest and met Lizzy, who lived 2 doors down the block on Fairlawn.  We became friends, and our parents became BFF’s.  

I was lucky to have taken family vacations twice with the family and met the extended family back East.  This was before Anna was born.

Rose, always loving, no matter what.  Her cooking, what can I say, the BEST.  

Christmas Eve, tamales and cannolis. 

  I know that Rose and Mom are back together again with their antics.  

Rose, you are loved.

My grandma was the most loving beautiful person inside and out she was loved by everyone!! Will miss all her wonderful stories I heard about 100 times but I loved hearing them just to hear her voice ❤️🥺🙏🏽😍 miss you 😘 so much grandma 

My Aunt Rose was the most beautiful woman inside and out. I didn’t get to see my Aunt and Uncle Chris enough due to where we lived. But the times that we spent together( at least two times a year) they would come to Long Island we would have the best times. With the laughter the eating the singing The running around. These memories will always be with me, I could still hear her yelling at my uncle Chris but with love lol. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a couple so in love with each other and the love they had for their children and grandchildren. May she be at rest with her one and only love. Till  we meet again Aunt Rose 🌹 

My gram was one of the most beautiful, lovable, graceful, caring, classy, and selfless women you could ever want to know or have the privilege of meeting. I love her so much and I miss her presence.

So many wonderful memories. Christmas Eve at my mother and Dad's house. Camping. Rose with my sons godmother even though we weren't blood-related my children called her aunt rose. She was family. She will be missed. Love you Rose.

Aunt Ruddy  was our  Aunt that we loved  so very much. We shared wonderful times together at her home.
We would  laugh, joke,  play cards, and she always  had great food to add to it all. Always made coffee  when we came and always  made us feel at home.

We will miss her immensely.  Several  years  ago I celebrated my Mom's 80th birthday at a nice Italian restaurant  with my Aunt Ruddy.  We had  so much fun. I remember  a week later, we went to Nevada  Railroad Museum  and she  brought me a wine glass as a souvenir  that  I will cherish forever.
Still in shock over her passing, but will  love her forever  and always  remember  the good  times. 
Miss u so much. Rest in peace our special loving Aunt Ruddy. 


Please accept my deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Rose. I’m very sorry for your loss. In this time in need Jehovah God assures all of you as it says in 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 as “the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials.” I hope this Scripture will help you relieve your sorrows.
