Rose McMahon Obituary
She was born in Worcester, daughter of the late Joseph P. and Amelia R. (CaraDonna) Mandella and was a life long resident of the city. She was a graduate of Commerce High School and the New England School of Accounting.
Rose worked as a clerk at the Worcester Registry of Deeds for several years. She previously worked at Norton Company. She was a member of Christ the King Church and a former member of St. Bernard Church and its' Rosary Sodality. She was a gifted pianist and enjoyed playing a wide range of music from the classics, to jazz, and the popular ballads of her generation. Rose loved spending time with her grandchildren and was exceptionally proud of all they have accomplished. She also loved gardening, especially tending to the annual bed surrounding her statue of St. Anthony, and attending the St Francis Novena over the years with her husband at St. John Church.
The family would like to express their gratitude for the exceptional care, the respect and the many kindnesses shown to "Mum", during her stay over the last seven years at St. Francis Home.
There are no calling hours. Private services were held at the convenience of the family, followed by burial in Worcester County Memorial Park, Paxton, MA. The family suggests donations in memory of Rose be made to St. Francis Home, 101 Plantation St., Worcester, MA 01604. Condolence messages may be sent to the family on-line at

About four years ago, I was with Uncle Nick when we visited Dolly at her nursing home. Though I had not seen her in years, she was a prominent part of my earlier life. Her mother was my godmother and we would often see her and Dorothy on our frequent trips to Worcester. They, in turn, would often come to Boston. I knew she was a very accomplished pianist and I am sorry I never had the chance to share that interest with her. Our prayers are with her.
