It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to Rosa Maria DeFazio Beatty, who passed away at age 75 on April 15, 2018 after four-and-a-half years of battling lung cancer. Rosa brought joy, love, and laughter to everyone in her life, and will be remembered for her unwavering strength, witty humor, and delicious cooking. Those who knew her would describe her as fierce, brave, honorable, and selfless. Rosa will be lovingly remembered by her husband David; daughters Deborah and Jennifer; grandchildren Alexandra, Samantha, and Johnny; and siblings Luccia, Mimmo and Mauro, among many others.
