Rosina "Rose" E. Manzione

March 14, 1922 - October 18, 2019

Beloved mother, grandmother, and aunt, Rose E. Manzione, passed away peacefully October 18, 2019. She was born March 14 on Long Island, NY, and married her childhood sweetheart and love, Dominic Manzione. After raising four children, Rose served as a Teaching Assistant for Farmingdale Public Schools and her favorite job was working with special education students and teachers. Rose had a wonderful creative side and brought imagination and joy to her students through projects, shows, and artwork. Rose also served as a troop organizer for the Girl Scouts of America and was proud to ride on the parade float—always dressed for the occasion—during the annual 4th of July parade. Rose and Dominic retired at their beach house, the “Dee Jay’s Hideaway” in Ocean City, MD, where Rose was an active member of the community. She founded a local chapter of the Red Hat Society, volunteered in the public schools and public library, and never missed a chance to go line dancing. Her line dancing group performed regularly at the Ocean City Sunfest. Rose loved to write, craft, and enjoy a special cup of tea anytime of the day. She also shared many wonderful years and memories at the beach with her beloved granddaughters and great nieces.
