Born on April 15, 1922, in Bronx, New York to the late Antonio Pascazio and the late Theresa Pascazio (Nee: Greco). Rose had a loving and caring personality that radiated to everyone she met. Her family fondly remembers her warm heart, and her infectious smile.

Her passing has left an unfillable void in their lives as they hold onto cherished memories of family gatherings where Rose was always at the center of it all.
