Rose Marie Lascari (nee Ciolino), age 95 of Wayne, died suddenly on Thursday, December 13, 2012.
Rose grew up in Garfield and graduated from Garfield High School in 1935. She received her bachelor’s degree from Montclair Teacher’s College and began her career as an English teacher. In 1955 she moved to Wayne with her husband, August, and took a position as Librarian at the Wayne High School. She loved books, was an avid reader, and being the school librarian was truly a dream job for her. She furthered her education by earning a Master’s degree in Library Science from Columbia University in New York, an accomplishment of which she was always very proud. She became Director of Media Services for all of the Wayne schools and served in that capacity throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s. In addition, she taught Library Science at William Paterson College for many years, passing on her love of books. Viewed by many as an icon in the Wayne Schools, Rose retired in 1991.
Rose met her husband August in the 1940’s. They married and settled in Lodi before moving to Wayne in 1955. Together, they lived a rich life with their daughter and enjoyed many outings and vacations including those to the Jersey Shore. A beach chair and a good book were just about all she needed for a good vacation. She and August enjoyed more than forty five years together in a close and loving marriage before his passing in 1993. Spending time with his and her families was their infinite source of joy.
Rose is survived by her daughter; Lorraine Anderson and her husband John of Wayne, her nephew Dr. Charles Ciolino of Basking Ridge, and her niece Maria Benjamin and her husband James of Ramsey. She was predeceased by her brother Peter Ciolino of Garfield in 1999.
