Rosaria played volleyball growing up and was a silver medalist in Shot Put. She spent most of her time reading and studying the Bible later in life and watching Taiwanese Netflix shows because as she said, “They are beautiful, clean, and show so much love”. Rosaria absolutely loved cooking for her family. Her food brought her family together and her recipes will continue to bring smiles to their faces.
Rosaria’s love was contagious. Family and even friends referred to her affectionately as “Mamma” and “Nonna”. She loved surrounding herself with her grandchildren, she was blessed with an abundance and wanted to spend every second with them.
Above all, Rosaria was known for her love for her heavenly Father Jehovah where she dedicated her life as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses on June 6th, 2009 in baptism. Her love for Jehovah moved her to do all she could in the ministry not just in New York, but also in Las Vegas, Italy, Mexico, and even Honduras. She attended Spanish Trail Congregation in Las Vegas, NV and most recently Greece Congregation in Rochester, NY.
Rosaria was beautiful inside and out and will be missed by her family and friends. Along with Jehovah God, they long to see her again with the hope of the resurrection where she will be restored to perfect health in the paradise on earth. (Job 14:14,15)
