Rosemarie Greco (Vitale) age 82 of Wayne passed Thursday, July 28, 2016.
She was born and raised in Paterson before moving to Wayne in 1959. Just out of high school Rosemarie worked for the John Hancock Company in Paterson. Rosemarie Vitale met Frank Greco while he was conducting the Saturday collections for furniture purchases people had made on credit. One of the families Frank was collecting from urged him to meet Rosemarie. Their first date was to Coney Island in Frank’s blue Ford. They married on February 13, 1955 at Blessed Sacrament RC Church in Paterson and they honeymooned in Mexico City and Acapulco. This was the first and only time Frank took a two week vacation from work. Frank and Rosemarie enjoyed fifty-eight years of loving marriage.
She was dedicated to her Catholic faith and was a founding parishioner of Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church in Wayne. During her many years serving the church she was a Eucharistic Minister, sang in the choir, helped co-ordinate Thanksgiving food collection, and donated many hours to the annual church picnic. She was also the current treasurer for the Little Sisters of the Poor in Totowa and for many years she was a member of the Passaic Valley Elks Lodge 2111.
Rosemarie will be remembered as a giving, thoughtful, charitable, faithful woman who loved animals. She was very proud of her grandchildren and loved her grand-dogs and cats very much. When her children were young the family made many annual summer trips to Wildwood to a family house. She liked going on cruises and enjoyed several cruises to the Caribbean and the Bermuda.
Rosemarie was the loving wife of fifty-eight years to the late Frank Greco (2013); loving mother of Frank Greco, Jr. of Clifton, Dana Hampson and her husband Bill of Hawthorne, Melissa Greco and her partner Lisa Rapone of Union, and David Greco and his wife Lisa Szegedi of Hawthorne; cherished grandmother of Stephanie Greco, Elizabeth, Alexandra, Danielle and Jacquelyn Hampson; loved sister of Joseph Vitale of Wayne; dear sister-in-law of Elinore Vitale of Rockaway; much loved aunt of Stephen Vitale and his wife Lily of Thousand Oaks, CA, Thomas Vitale and his wife Florence of Wyckoff, Donna Feil and her husband Jim of Wading River, NY, Yolanda Sisco and her husband Ira of Brick, and Adrianna Scott of Portsmouth, NH; devoted great-aunt of Samantha, Adeline, Gianna, and Ava Marie Vitale.
