Rose M. (Ferraro) Pascone, 90, wife of the late Carl J. Pascone passed away peacefully on January 10, 2019 at St. Francis Medical Center. Born on April 6, 1928, she was the daughter of the late John Ferraro and Grace (DeCicco) Ferraro. Rose was a most loving and generous mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Her family was her pride and joy. She loved spending summers at the beach house making fried dough, spinach breads and pizza every weekend for her adored five grandchildren. At Christmas she would shower them with so many presents and loved watching their expressions opening them. She never wanted or asked for anything, never complained and always shielded us from worry. We know our family will continue to receive her love, through all the wonderful memories we have been so grateful to be a part of. Left to mourn her passing are her beloved children and grandchildren who loved her more than words could ever express, her son John and daughter-in-law Maryanne (Tesik); daughter Pamela and son-in-law Mark Brooks, five grandchildren Mark, Daniel, Carly, Matthew and Kara and great-grandchildren, DJ, Ella and Daphne. Rose is predeceased by her brother, Frank Ferraro and her four sisters and brothers-in-law. Pam and John would like to extend a heartfelt appreciation to their cousin, Cynthia Calegari who always called to check in on mom and sent greeting cards all the time. A special thanks to Sandra, our mothers’ caregiver who took care of her for over five years with much kindness and compassion. As mom makes this journey solo, dad is waiting to pull her up.
