Rosemarie Talutto Dick

Rosemarie Talutto Dick, 79, passed away on Sunday, Oct. 15, in Allied Services Hospice Center in Scranton.

First-born daughter to the late Joseph and Bertha Nicolosi Talutto, she graduated from West Scranton High School and was employed in the local garment industry prior to retirement. Rosemarie enjoyed doing puzzles, playing Scrabble and Briscola and watching game shows. There wasn't a Jeopardy question she didn't know the answer to or a puzzle she couldn't solve. Proud of her Sicilian heritage, she valued family traditions and was a fabulous cook. The epitome of a selfless person, she always put the needs of everyone else before her own and while she faced many hardships in life, she never gave up on her faith or lost her wickedly dry sense of humor.

Rosemarie is survived by her daughters, Lisa Sandy and husband, Frank; and Lori Butsko and husband, Robert; grandchildren, Anjelica Sandy, Nicholas and Robbie Butsko, all of Scranton; sister, Josephine Adomiak and husband, Michael, Old Forge; brothers, John Talutto and wife, Joanne, New Paltz, N.Y.; and Ben Talutto and wife, Barbara Piombino, Rosendale, N.Y.; as well as several nieces nephews, all of whom she adored.

Private services for immediate family were arranged by Savino Traditional Funerals and Cremation Care. To offer an online condolence, visit www.NEPAfuneralhome.com.
