It is with a very sad heart that I say goodbye to my mother, Rosemary Fraschilla's physical body, who passed away peacefully on January 21st, 2024, her 81st birthday. Rosemary was a loving soul, human, daughter, sister, niece, cousin, wife, mother, aunt, grandmother and friend.  Rosemary was a giver, she would say, "A little something for everyone!"

She dedicated her life to her family that she loved so deeply.  She was born in Brooklyn, NY to Augusta and Anthony Caserta and was the eldest of three siblings. Rosemary grew up in a large loving family with many aunts, uncles & cousins.  She married her high school sweetheart, Anthony Fraschilla in 1962, and together they had two daughters, Deanna and Dana.

Rosemary was a joyful and generous person who always celebrated anyone's milestones and achievements.  Her love for her family was immeasurable, especially her grandchildren, Stephen and Alexa, who she cherished beyond words. She always went above and beyond to make everyone feel special and loved.

Rosemary and her husband moved to Boca Raton in 1995, where they spent their working golden years together with their grandchildren until his passing in 2016.  Rosemary also endured the loss of her sister, Florence, and her grandson, Stephen, who she loved unconditionally.

Rosemary's legacy of love and kindness will live on through her daughters; brother, Thomas; granddaughter, Alexa; and all that loved her, as she has touched so many lives with her happy smile & upbeat positive attitude. Rosemary was an empathetic human who wasn't happy unless she had someone to pray for or someone to worry about.

God Bless You Rosie, My Mommy, I love you so much & I thank you for being a consistent beautiful example of love my whole life.  Rest in peace and joy, My Beautiful Mother. You are loved and remembered.

A memorial service will be held at St. Jude Catholic Church.

In lieu of flowers, Rosemary has requested that donations be made in her memory, to her beloved grandson Stephen's Foundation,
Depend On A Friend. This small non profit charity helps those children & families struggling through terminal illnesses in Stephen's memory.  It was very dear to Rosemary's heart, and her selfless request during such a difficult time is just ONE example of her unparalleled love & generosity.

Rosemary, you will be missed dearly.  Another HUGE loss for our family.
