Our beloved Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and Friend, Rosemarie (Correnti) Calarco of Henderson, Nevada, passed away with her family by her side on April 5, 2021. Rosemarie was born to John and Millie Correnti of New York City, NY on August 4, 1934. Rosemarie graduated from John Adams High School of Ozone Park. Rosemarie leaves behind her 6 children, Steven (Connie), Joseph (Karen), Michael, Peter, Christine (Don) and Lisa.
Rosemarie is also survived by her 14 Grandchildren Jennifer (Tom), Kaytlin (Jeremy), Christopher (Greta), Anthony (Robyn), Nicholas, Tami (Jake), Michael (Sarah), Melissa (Matt), Douglas, Adam (Jessica), Donnie, Melanie (Jonathan), Ashlie and Robert.
She is also survived by her 17 Great-Grandchildren Chelsea, Tyler, Chase, (MacKenzie, Connor), Jack, Karter, Gavin, Hunter, Norah, Lincoln, Molly, Liam, Kallen, Ethan, Ellie, Luke, Mercy and Malakai.
She will also be dearly missed by her three treasured sisters, Gladys (Yvon), Corinne (Andy-Deceased), Priscilla (Ron-Deceased) and her loving nieces, nephews, and extended family.
Rosemarie's first job was a secretary in a radio station and over her life worked several different jobs including waitressing and ironing to support her children and they would tell you she was the hardest working woman they knew.
After 45 years, she retired to spend more time with her family and friends. She enjoyed playing scrabble, Yahtzee and weekly card games with her friends and family. Rosemarie was a caring and thoughtful person. She took great pleasure in selecting the perfect card and gift to celebrate a birthday or event. Christmas was her favorite time, and she would write well over 100 cards to friends and family.
Rosemarie was the strength in the family and glue that held this huge crazy family together. She never had an unkind word toward anyone. There is no way to say goodbye to our amazing mother and we know it is not goodbye; it is only goodbye for now. Until we meet again in Heaven Mommy, we Love You and you will forever be with us.
