Rose Marie Puliafico

RoseMarie Puliafico (née DiPasqua), a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and loving sister, passed away peacefully on July 28, 2025, just one day before her 87th birthday. She was born on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.

RoseMarie dedicated her life to her family. She lovingly devoted herself to raising her children. As a proud homemaker, she created a nurturing home filled with warmth, tradition, and care. She was most at peace in her kitchen, cooking meals that brought everyone together, or with a crochet hook in hand, crafting blankets and keepsakes that wrapped her loved ones in comfort. She especially loved baking with her family for the holidays—most of all, making her signature pizza rustica.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Anthony, and her dear siblings, Sally and Sonny, whom she loved deeply.

RoseMarie is survived by her loving sons, Anthony (Robin) and Thomas (Susan); her devoted daughter, Donna Ferraiuolo (Frank); her cherished grandchildren, Jessica (Sal), Christina, Jenna (Sal), Alyssa (Nick), Frankie (Kamilla), and Amanda (Matt); and her adored great-grandchildren, Jameson, Liliana, and Aidan.

RoseMarie’s legacy is one of unconditional love, quiet strength, and unwavering dedication to family. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who were lucky enough to be loved by her.
