Life Story for Rose Russo

Rose  Russo
Rose R. Russo passed away at her home in Westfield surrounded by her family on Monday, July 17, 2017, at the age of 85. She was born on February 21, 1932, in Westfield, NJ, to the late Dominick and Mary (Clement) Villane. Rose attended Holy Trinity grammar school and high school, which laid the foundation for her service and love for others.
Rose was the matriarch of the family and always surrounded herself with family and friends - whether it was at a wedding, a birthday, a backyard barbecue, or simply a Sunday dinner. For Rose, there was always room at the table for one more and her door was always open. She had a special way about her that made all feel welcome. Rose also made it a point to keep in touch with family and friends through Facebook, commenting on photos, sharing her loving thoughts, and often posting favorite recipes. Rose enjoyed playing board games, loved any type of word or spelling game, and was an avid Scrabble player, especially with her grandchildren.
Rose touched the lives of so many people through her service to others and to the church. She served as a Eucharistic minister at Overlook Hospital, a lector at Holy Trinity Church, and was a CCD teacher for years. She was also a member of Holy Trinity's Parish Council, Social Concerns, Bereavement, and Rosary Committees during her years of service. Her kind heart and warm ways made a difference in the lives of the people she served. In addition to her years of service, Rose worked at Sears, Roebuck and Company in the catalog department, from 1971 to 1986, making many lifelong friends. Love and laughter are the qualities that best describe Rose; she was a truly beautiful person with a heart of gold.
Rose is predeceased by her beloved husband, Matthew G. Russo, Sr., her infant son, Baby Robert, her son-in-law, Robert Nunez, her sister, Joan Brunetto, and her sister-in-law, Rita Villane. She is survived by her brothers, William and Carl (Joan) Villane, her brother-in-law, John Brunetto, and her children: Mary (David) Ganz, Donna Nunez, Matthew G. (Susan) Russo, Jr., Patricia Russo, David (Cathy) Russo, and Vincent (Christine) Russo. She is also survived by twelve grandchildren: David and Richard Nunez, David (Kate) and Christopher Ganz, James and Ryan Reber, Mariah Russo, Drew, Daniel, and Nicholas Russo, and Mia and Matthew Russo, as well as a great-granddaughter, Teagan Ganz. Rose also leaves behind numerous dear relatives and friends, including her loving friend, Maia.
Relatives and friends are kindly invited to visit the Dooley Colonial Home; 556 Westfield Ave., Westfield on Wednesday from 2-4 and 7-9 pm. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Thursday at 10 am at Holy Trinity RC Church followed by interment at Fairview Cemetery, Westfield. Donations in lieu of flowers may be made to St. Jude’s Children's Research Hospital or the Westfield Volunteer Rescue Squad.
