Rosalie (DiPaola) Sansone's Obituary

She was born in Syracuse to the late Nicola and Josephine (Ferro) DiPaola and graduated from North High School. Rosalie worked for Lemp’s Jewelers and General Electric. She loved to garden, read, cook, and travel, but nothing brought her more joy than spending time with her family, especially her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Rosalie joined her heavenly family, husband, Anthony Sansone (1982), her daughters, Rosalie Ann Rivizzigno (1993) and Cecile Marnell (2021), and her siblings, Nick, Nina, Sam, and John DiPaola.
She is survived by her children, Robert (Patricia) Sansone, Diane (Robert) Todd, Patricia (Brian) Malay, and Joanne Daprano; her grandchildren, Justin (Jessica) Sansone, Lauren (Kevin) Garden, Julianne Malay, Meg (Brandon) Vidro, Nicholas (Leah) Daprano, Sara Rivizzigno, Jaime Rivizzigno, and Michael Rivizzigno; her great-grandchildren, Noah Sansone, Benjamin Sansone, Owen Garden, and Lucy Garden; her sister-in-law, Louise Chrysler; her cousin, Mary Prince; along with several nieces and nephews that she absolutely adored.
The family would like to thank the caregivers at Syracuse Home for their wonderful care.
