Rose Capuano Handzo (nee Pollara) age 97 of Venice, Florida passed away on Monday, September 30, 2013 at the Tidewell Venice Hospice House in Venice, Florida.

She was born in Clifton, NJ and spent eighty-nine years in Clifton before moving to Venice, Florida to live with her daughter and son-in-law, Linda and Jim Panke.

Rose was a parishioner of Saint Paul’s RC Church in Clifton, NJ for eighty-nine years and since her move to Florida she had been a member of Our Lady of Lourdes RC Church in Venice, Florida. Rose had a special dedication to our Blessed Mother and was a member of the Rosary Society at Saint Paul’s Church.

As a mother she was a loving and devoted member of her family and gave them the gift of Motherly love even into their adult years. As part of her family dedication she passed to her children her wonderful catholic faith. Anyone who ever knew Rose, had nothing but praise for her.

Surviving to mourn the loss of this wonderful mother, grandmother and great-grandmother are two sons Joseph Capuano and his wife Florence of Montville and Nicholas Capuano and his wife Sharon of Wayne; four daughters Jo-Ann Holmes and her husband Jack of Wantage, Rose Mary Benyo of Lincoln Park, Linda Panke and her husband James of Venice, Florida and Barbara Den Dulk of Kinnelon along with 12 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren; and survived by her sister Matilda Tuzzolino of Passaic.  Rose also had a loving step-son Allen Handzo, wife Lois and family.

Rose was predeceased by her first husband Joseph Capuano and her second husband Edward Handzo.

Those planning an expression of Sympathy in Rose’s memory are asked to consider donating to Tidewell Hospice, Philanthropy Dept., 5595 Rand Blvd., Sarasota, Florida 34238, in lieu of flowers.
