Rose Romanelli married Antonio Beato and lived all of her married life in Floral Park, New York.
Rose and Antonio, a Barber, had 4 children; Virginia, Martha, Frances and Estelle.
She was the perfect "Norman Rockwell" nana... she had the most beautiful apple cheeks and arms that just wanted to squeeze her loved ones. She was extremely animated and fiesty. Rose and Antonio's door was always open to family who needed a meal through the hard times brought on by the Depression. She would cook for everyone even if she and Tony couldn't afford it themselves - they would just do without and never say a word. Her spaghetti sauce is remembered to this day!
Rose is survived by her daughter, Estelle Cooper Dixon; her grandchildren, Karen and Frank Murphy, Gail (Cooper) Stephens and Betty (Cooper) Daggitt, Roger and James Szczep, George and Theodore; and many great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.
When the surviving family thinks of Antonio and Rose, many wonderful things come to mind. But the most outstanding memory is they couldn't be without one another and were always touching and holding hands.
Rose is lovingly remembered for her school-girlish infatuation and love for her "Dear Tony." When her beloved Antonio passed away, she wanted to be as brave as Jacqueline Kennedy so she walked, with her family in tow, all the way to the Church for the Funeral Mass. Rose passed away one year later from a broken heart.
