Rose L. Loffredo (nee Migliaccio) “Grandma Rose” passed away peacefully at age 73 on January 18, 2012 surrounded by her loving husband of 52 years and caring children after a long and courageous battle with non-smoker’s lung cancer. Born and raised in Paterson, Rose moved to Totowa Boro in 1960 and then to Wayne in 1964 and has resided there since. Rose graduated in 1956 from Paterson Central High School and received her teaching degree from William Paterson College in 1960. She taught kindergarten in the Paterson School District until 1962, when she then stayed at home to begin to raise her four children. Rose then returned to her passion of teaching in 1978 when she began teaching at Ryerson Elementary School in Wayne. Rose taught Second Grade for 25 years before retiring in 2003. She was blessed to have been an important influence in her students’ lives and remained in touch with many of them. While teaching full time, Rose found time to continue her academic studies in education and graduated along with her daughter, both receiving their Masters’ Degrees from William Paterson University in 1996.
After retiring from teaching, Rose pursued her second career as a full time grandmother, helping to raise and educate her thirteen grandchildren, now ranging in age from 2 years to 20 years old. Rose enjoyed teaching CCD at Our Lady of the Valley, R.C. Church, where she was able to teach many of her grandchildren. In her spare time, Rose was an avid reader who enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren at the Wayne Public Library. She also enjoyed peaceful weekends at her vacation home in the Poconos and spending time with her family in LBI. Rose enjoyed traveling and traveled extensively throughout the United States , Europe, Mexico and the Caribbean Islands. Rose enjoyed the arts and attended many Broadway Shows.
Always her pride and joy, Rose enjoyed every moment with her grandchildren, including having tea parties, letting the kids play dress up, and creating plays and skits for the kids to entertain everyone. Rose enjoyed planning her grandkids birthday parties, including creating lasting party memory books, and enjoyed participating in her grandkids school activities, including volunteering to read and acting as class art mom. Rose was a fixture at all of her grandchildrens’ sporting events and was their biggest fan.
Rose is now peacefully reunited with her father Joseph ( 1980), mother Mary (1992), son Michael (1996), brother-in- law Ronald Loffredo (2008), sister-in-law Laura Loffredo (2010) and sister-in-law Gloria Loffredo (2011). She is survived by her loving husband Joseph. Beloved mother of Gary Loffredo and his wife Lisa, Dennis Loffredo and his wife Michele and Debi Van Der Velden and her husband Matthew, and mother-in-law of Georgette Fleming, all of Wayne. The youngest of five children, she is the dear sister of Lee Canzano and her husband Vincent of Queen Creek, Arizona, Ida Tribastone and her husband Sam of Pembroke Pines, Florida, Ceil Migliaccio of Haledon, New Jersey, Pat Migliaccio and his wife Chickie of Mahwah, New Jersey, and sister-in-law of Anne Loffredo of Wayne.
