Cremation will be private. A celebration of Roseann's love and life will be held on Saturday, June 12, 2021, from 12 noon - 4 PM. From Jersey City to the Jersey Shore! She retired in Toms River, NJ but was a true Jersey City girl. Roseann grew up in the Downtown section, off the corner of 5th and Monmouth Street and graduated from Holy Rosary grammar school and Ferris High School. Roseann was part of an iconic generation of Jersey City residents who grew up when life was tough yet simple, and neighborhoods were full of respect and pride. After meeting her husband Larry, another Jersey City resident, who was a rough and tough guy from the Marion section, instantly fell in love when he met this Downtown beauty. They were married in Holy Rosary Church, where she was a parishioner for many years. She may have moved out of Jersey City to raise her children in Sussex County, but she was always excited to return most summers with her growing family for the Feast of Our Lady of the Assumption, to meet up with family and friends, and walk the streets of her old neighborhood once again. Roseann always held life's most precious moments close to her heart. She enjoyed sharing her faith, smile, stories of days gone by and love for music and food with family and friends. All would agree it was not only a pleasure, but it was an honor to know her kindness and love. She leaves behind a lifetime of laughs and memories. Lastly, the family wants to thank you for thinking of them during these extreme and challenging times. They wish to sincerely express how grateful they are for your generous support, encouraging words, thoughts, and prayers. A Celebration of Roseann's Life will be held on Saturday, June 12, 2021 at the Silverton Memorial Funeral Home 2482 Church Rd., Toms River from 12:00noon until4:00pm. Services will begin 3:00pm a the funeral home.
