Rosemary Ann Bruno

mother-in-law and friend than Rosemary Ann Bruno. With her beautiful smiling face and twinkling

eyes she will always be remembered as “The Rose.” She was always full of joy, love and happiness, and will be missed

more than any words can ever say.

Rosemary passed peacefully on March 7, 2013, to join our son, Robert Thomas Bruno, who left us on June 11, 2012.

Rosemary will be survived by her loving husband, Tom Bruno; sisters, Ann Delera and Carol Lowe; brothers-in-law, Mike Delera and Howard Lowe; daughter, Lori Bruno; son-in-law, Channing Long; daughter-in-law, Christine Bruno; granddaughter’s, Marissa Rose, Dena Michelle, Jayne Diana, Carolyn Rose, Alicia, Ann Paulette, Anthony Thomas; great-grandson, Robert Townes; and many wonderful nieces, nephews and loving friends. Rosemary was born April 6, 1937, to Jayne Ann Fassiano and Sam Piizzi in Newark, N.J. Her, her parents and her two sisters moved to Burbank, Calif., in 1953.

Tom Bruno and Rosemary Piizzi met in 1956 and were happily married for 56 years from 1957-2013. Rosemary and Tom moved and resided in Ventura 45 years, where they raised their son and daughter, Rob and Lori.

Rosemary worked for the County of Ventura, Economy Plumbing, and Reid’s Appliances.

She retired in 1999. Her love in sports was tennis. She was quite the athlete. She and Tom belonged to the Cabrillo Racquet Club for 27 years. She played golf in her later years but not with the same passion she had for tennis. Rosemary enjoyed entertaining her many friends and family at the house for Holidays and dinners. She was quite the chef and really knew how to put on a party. The true loves in her life were her grandchildren and family.

Marissa-granddaughter- “She taught me how to cook, sew, dance, laugh, love, enjoy classic musicals.” “She was my biggest

fan and I was hers.” Dena-granddaughter- “The most beautiful, loving, funny grandma, who taught me how to cook, bake, read and write.” “The best thing grandma taught me is how to love.” Lori-daughter- “My mother the Angel with the sweetest heart and kindest sole. A mother every daughter could ever hope for. I know how lucky I am to be her daughter.” “All the good in me is from her.” “She may have forgotten but she is unforgettable.”

Rosemary’s family would like to thank the staff at Aegis of Ventura with all their hearts. There, they treated Rose with love and respect which has been nher home for the last three years. A special thanks to all her caregivers. Thank you Vitas Hospice for your love and comfort through the most difficult of times.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Alzheimer’s Association would be greatly appreciated.
