Rosemary F. DePinto (nee Fecanin), 57 of Pompton Plains, died on Sunday, August 13, 2017 after a brief battle with cancer. She has lived in Pompton Plains since 1992.
A 1978 graduate of Clifton High School, “Ro” was a member of the Mustang Marching Band and had performed at many locations across the country. She attended Syracuse University and was also a member of their marching band before transferring to Parsons School of Design. She graduated from Parsons and pursued her career in interior design. Most recently, she was part-owner of “Through the Window Interior Design” in Pompton Plains. She was a very talented designer and her own home was warmly decorated and welcoming. She was an extremely organized person as well, and ‘party planning’ was one of her specialties. She helped to organize gala events for the Catholic Charities, and she was a Dame of Mary Help of Christians Academy in N. Haledon. She loved a good party almost as much as she loved to go shopping, swim in her pool, or relax on the beach.
Rosemary met her husband Steve in the 1980’s when the two of them were working for Stern’s department store. They were married on May 28, 1988 at Holy Spirit Church in Pequannock, followed by a fabulous honeymoon to Spain and Morocco. Steve will tell you that he “couldn’t have found a better wife” and their twenty nine years together have been wonderful. They were fortunate to have explored beaches together throughout the Caribbean islands, Mexico, and Florida, with her favorite destination being Grand Cayman Island. Raising two children; Jordan and Jenna, was among her crowning achievements and she couldn’t be more proud of her kids. There wasn’t anything she wouldn’t do for them and she loved them both dearly. They’ll miss watching re-runs of “I Love Lucy” with her, or her favorite movie of all time; The Godfather. Rosemary’s dearest friends of all were of the four-legged variety; her dogs Liberty, Rocco, and Louie who she loved so, so much. She will also be missed terribly by her large network of loving and devoted friends throughout her community of Pompton Plains who all know her as a kind and generous person.
Rosemary is survived by her beloved husband Steven of Pompton Plains, two children; Jordan and Jenna, both of Pompton Plains, her mother; Josephine Fecanin of Clifton, one sister; Georgianna Eben Vaughn and her husband David of Horsham, PA, her in-laws; Louis and Frances DePinto of Pequannock, three brothers-in-law; Richard DePinto and his wife Lorin of Pompton Plains, Robert DePinto and his wife Jennifer of Charlotte, NC, and Paul DePinto and his wife Loren of Lincoln Park, and many loved nieces and nephews; Christopher and Alexandra Eben, Catherine Foy and her husband John, Richard DePinto, John DePinto, David DePinto, Jillian DePinto, Dean DePinto, Gia DePinto, Alec DePinto, and Frank Galante, Jr. She was predeceased by her father George Fecanin in 2001.
