Rose Mary Mingione age 76 of Wayne died on Saturday, March 27, 2010 at the Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Wayne. Her peaceful passing took place with her loving family at her bedside.
She was born in Paterson where she spent her childhood years. Rose received her formal education at Paterson Grammar School and then Eastside High School graduating with the Class of 1951. Rose continued her education at St. Vincent's School of Nursing where she received her credentials as an "Infant Care Technician". Her career path changed and she became a full charge bookkeeper working at the Passaic County Board of Social Services until her retirement.
Rose lived most of her life in Totowa before moving to Wayne ten years ago. She was an active member of the Clifton Cosmopolitan Association.
Rose Mary was the first generation of her family to live in America. Her parents were both born in Italy and came to this country in 1914. Life was indeed unsettling in Italy and they wanted a better life for their future family. They came via Ellis Island and settled in Paterson.
As things turned out their courage to pick up and leave their homeland of Italy was indeed beneficial for themselves and their children who were truly blessed to live the "American Dream" together.
She was very devoted to her Roman Catholic Faith and while in Paterson she was a parishioner of Saint Anthony's RC Church, while in at Totowa Saint James Church and while living in Wayne The Annunciation of The Blessed Virgin Mary Church.
Rose was also a gifted pianist and could fill a room with beautiful music that just seemed to flow from her fingers. She was endowed with a joyful personality that would light up a room with stories of her childhood and wonderful memories of family times gone by over the years.
Her family recalls her dedication to her children and her wonderful cooking. Some of her favorite kitchen items included a special eggplant dish, Italian wedding soup, and love knot cookies.
Rose Mary loved animals and especially her favorite dog "Heidi" who predeceased her. She loved playing with her spoiled "granddog" Abby.
Surviving to mourn this very special mother are one son Michael Pignatello of Toms River; one daughter Genevieve Ferrara and her husband Richard of Lincoln Park.
Sadness came into her life when she lost her brother Louis Mingione in 2000, her sister; Anne Buscema in 2007, and her brother; Tony Mingione who died in combat, at age twenty, during World War II in Nance, France. She also lost an infant brother Vincent at age 2. Rose Mary will be laid to rest with her sister and brothers at the Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Totowa.
