Obituary of Rosaria Maselli

Rosaria Maselli, nee Giovanniello, 91, of Glen Cove and born in Sturno, Italy, passed away on January 30, 2021. Devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, grand-aunt and friend. Rosaria is pre-deceased by her beloved Francesco. Loving mother to Antoinette (Alex), Donato (Nicole), Francesca (Brendan), and Rocco (Sharlene). Proud grandmother of 11. Aunt to many nieces and nephews in America, Italy and Venezuela. Survived also by her loving sister Adua Giuseppina Graziosi, brother-in-law Michele, and their children:  nieces Angela (Michael) and Rita (Rob), and nephew Joseph (Christine) who provided steady support and love over the years. Rosaria loved cooking and sewing and had a gift for gardening.  She embraced spouses, in-laws, and friends and enjoyed family gatherings and maintaining friendships. Her influence and example were and still are deeply imbued in her children and extends beyond her children into their families and lives. We will miss the light and energy she brought into a room. Yet, though her presence will be greatly missed, her generous spirit and encompassing love will always be with us.
