Rose Manzo Obituary
Titusville - Rose A. Manzo, 93, of Titusville went home to be with her Heavenly Father on Wednesday, February 20, 2019, while surrounded by her loving family. Rose was born on October 2, 1925, in Providence, RI to the late Ralph and Josephine D'Agostino. Rose was an extremely accomplished business woman holding a Masters of Cosmetology license and Instructors license. She opened several Beauty Schools and Salons. She was a Board member of Florida Cosmetology School Association Inc. She was a Mentor and an Instructor. Rose had many successful careers also holding her Real Estate License. She was heavily involved in our local community. Rose was also a dedicated member and contributor of St. Teresa Church. She made many contributions to, organized, and even hosted many fund raising affairs for the Navy League, Titusville Art League, Hospice of St. Frances, Parrish Medical Center, St. Jude and the list goes on. She was the first female Elk in our community. Rose spent her spare time helping others. She opened her heart and her home to many people over the years. Rose lived life with passion and purpose especially the love she had for her family. Although she mourned the loss of her son, Bill, Rose and her sons kept his spirit alive by giving back to the community and forming the Bill Manzo Youth Foundation. Together, they also built the William J. Manzo Park. She enjoyed most of all her time as a loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Other than her parents, Rose was preceded in death by her son William Manzo, granddaughter Brianna, sister Gloria, and brother Ralph. She will be greatly missed by her sons Richard and James Manzo; grandchildren Jimmy, Shane, William, Richard, Valene, Jimmy, Amiee, Jaime; great grandchildren Allissia, Zoie, Khloe, Richard, Shane, Payton, Billy and Victoria; and loved like a dear son Nick Scott.

Hey Grams, I miss you sooo much!!! I honestly didn´t even know this messaging for you was here until tonight. I think about you daily and talk about you so much. I´ve been missing you soooo much i decided to google your name to see if I could just learn more about the most amazing lady I knew that loved me and our family so unconditionally. I found this forum. You were so strong and carried all of us in any situation. I was sick last week and just cried to Scott that i missed you soooo much!!! I just wanted to lay on your couch while you made your chicken Orzo soup. I wanted to hear your voice answer any phone call saying "yeah Valeen´s not feeling good so she´s been sleeping on the couch and I´m making her soup/food." You took so much pride in taking care of us all! You´d send me to your bed after i ate and say go get in the bed I´m gonna watch my tv. I remember your pillows and your prayer cards. I have your furniture and your bed side tables so I enjoy feeling that memory sometimes. I also have your red jacket that you wore EVERYWHERE.... I bring it down sometimes just to lay with bc I ,it´s you so much! I have so much of you in my house, your bedroom furniture , living room rug, dishes, entire dining table with all the wooded chairs, praying cards, daily prayers, even holiday dishes. My favorite of all is your red jacket... I miss rubbing your back on Wednesday dinners with your group. Then waiting for the check when i knew you were getting tired. I miss you forcing me to go to McDonald´s once a week and play in the playground so my dad and Tammy had time to their selves. I hated it then but now looking back it was always a once a week time i got to spend with you!!! I play home videos of you and Brianna all the time but the best 2 of you i have on my phone. I have a voicemail from years and years ago saying "VALEEN MANZO this is GRANDMA MANZO call me back at ***-***-****!!" As if id never known it was you hahaha. The other video is caught by mistake and you just so happened to be talking about me and how proud you were of me at the time! I love hearing you say my name... I miss it so much!! I only wonder what you´d think of me now or say to or about me being an actual flight attendant???!!! I think you´d be so proud.. I just wish I could hear your voice again!!!! I love you sooo much Grams I can´t wait to see your and everyone else one day

I was a little girl in Rhode Island. I always remember Rose as a beautiful young woman. I would always think about Rose and her boys (I was a tomboy) my brother Tommy was friends with Richard, Billy , and Jimmy. I had wonderful memories. I missed them all when they moved away.i do remember Rose was a one of the nicest person in the neighborhood. Sending much love to the family. Always Roseann

MY DEAREST FRIEND,... ROSE: The LORD GOD will NOW have the opportunity and pleasure of walking and talking with you (in spirit, as GOD IS SPIRIT) in golorious heaven! And, to actually be able to see and be with his son (our SAVIOUR) JESUS CHRIST!
What love, peace, health and joy you now live daily with your "precious loved ones" that arrived before HE (also) called you to your home in heaven! I'm sure you are so happy to see and be with ALL of your family again!
Please forgive me for not being at any of your services or for not reaching out to Richard/his family and Jimmy/his family before now! !I DID NOT KNOW UNTIL TODAY!!! SO SORRY!!!
You know how much I think of you, love you/your sons and ...I always will! No matter how long it had been since we had seen each other, I could call you or you call me and time seemed to magically disappear,...YOU WERE JUST THAT SPECIAL TYPE OF "always & forever" FRIEND!
Plus, your brother, sister & nepbews in the family I got to know and spend time with over the past 40+ years. You loved to travel& I'll never forget all our cosmetology seminars, trips to Los Vegas,Cruises,Hawaii and the many other weekends I spent with you, Val(from Tampa) & your (3) sons in Titusville,... before & after Billy,...at the home on the river!
We are getting older and time passes before we know it! I WILL see you again, Rose.
I will try & call Richard at his office in Titusville tomorrow to chat with him & Jimmy! I MISS YOU EVERYDAY "MISS ROSE",...you have been & will continue to be in my prayers & thoughts daily! As will Richard & Jimmy here on earth! Watch over us all!
ANGEL ROSE, you were such a positive, powerful woman while on earth, but even more so now that your in heaven!

I was in Rose's first class at Cape Kennedy Beauty school. Won a scholarship to go. Had so much fun. Rose would have Millie Canady Grissinger and I drive her Cadillac to Merritt Island to run errands for her during class. We were Teachers pets...i think all of us were. Ran into her several times when we were back in Titusville. She even recommended me for my first job at Lee's Beauty shop in Merritt Island. Enjoyed knowing her boys at that time too! She was a Great Lady! RIP Sweet Rose, you will be missed.THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES❤GOD BLESS!

Rose came into my life when I entered her Beauty School on Garden St in 1969. She instantly became a loving friend & Mentor to me! She was a person that was full of love to everyone and would help them in anyway she could.
RIP Rose and you will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family in their loss of a remarkable lady!!

My prayers to the family and friends of Ms Manzo. She sounded like she made a good legacy and was loved and well liked by all. I will now remember her, as I enjoy lunch at the park named after her love one.
