Josephine Ann Rosenberg

Josephine Ann Rosenberg, passed peacefully on July 14, 2025. Born Josephine Silano on June 7, 1939, in Brooklyn, NY, she was a light in the lives of everyone who knew her. With strength and grace, she lived a life marked by love, resilience, and a deep commitment to her family.

Josephine was the cherished matriarch of her family. She is survived by her devoted sons, Louis, Ralph (Christie), and John (Lisa), as well as her beloved daughter, Joanne (Andrew) Goldstein. The laughter and joy that filled her home can be found in the hearts of her numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who were the greatest treasures in her life. Each one of them held a special place in her heart, carrying forward the love and warmth she so generously shared.

She was preceded in death by her husband, John, in 2022. Their bond was a testament to what true love looks like, and even in his absence, she held him in her heart with every beat.
