Rose Zamponi, age 81, of Wayne passed away on Monday, October 10, 2011 at the Regency Gardens Care Center, Wayne.
She was born in Rochelle Park, spending her formative years in Passaic, where she lived before moving to Wayne in 1957.
Mrs Zamponi was a technical assembler, and served in several other capacities, for IT&T Corporation in Nutley for twenty-five years before her retirement in 1980.
Following the death of her husband in 1984, Rose was suddenly on her own, but she was gifted with a very special determination, and entered a new phase of her life, supported by her two children, Lynda and Michael.
Her devotion to motherhood was very strong, and gave her great joy, and she was determined that hard work and much love was the formula to raise her family. Looking back, she made many personal sacrifices.
Rose’s motherhood was infused with a tremendous amount of love and caring, and she was always enthusiastic about her two children’s endeavors, providing great support and encouragement throughout their lives. She was always concerned about their wellbeing, even as they became adults. She leaves her children and grandchildren with many wonderful memories of a very loving mother figure.
Rose’s children recall her wonderful Italian cooking, her baking, including the best apple pie in the whole world, and the beautiful vegetables and flowers that she lovingly cultivated, which were in her home garden for everyone to enjoy. Despite all of her work, both to earn a living and around the home, she still enjoyed reading novels, watching movies, and listening to music - you could describe her as the Energy Mom. During her retirement, Rose discovered the joys of travel, visiting her daughter Lynda in England, and touring all of the historic sites and the coastal areas of the southeast. She also greatly enjoyed visiting with her son Michael, his partner John and their children, and delighted in many wonderful family occasions at their home.
Thank you, Dearest Mom, one more time, for being such a wonderful part of our lives, and for all your love and devotion.
