Roseann DeLia Noce

Roseann Noce, née DeLia, beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away on December 15, 2025 after a year-long battle with cancer. She was born on October 26, 1955 and lived a life marked by compassion, strength, and caring.

Roseann is survived by her loving husband, Joseph, of 42 years. They met as partners in the bridal party of friends and together they built a family grounded in love and strong values. Roseann is also survived by her children, Amanda (Adam) and Joseph (Diana); and her three cherished grandchildren, who brought her immense joy and pride. She was preceded in death by her father, Daniel DeLia. She is also survived by her mother, Consiglia DeLia (née DeBerardinis); her sister, Patricia Maguire (John); her brother, Daniel DeLia (Denise); six beloved nieces and nephews; and many cousins and friends, all of whom held a special place in her heart.

A lifelong learner and caregiver, Roseann devoted her professional life to helping others. She studied nursing at Neumann University and started her career as an RN at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. She later contributed her skills at Glaxo Smith Kline, Lankenau Hospital and an in-home private nursing agency. Always eager to grow and adapt, she learned medical coding and returned to school to study Massage Therapy. She concluded her career at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, where she worked in the research department before retiring.

Care for others extended beyond her professional life. Roseann was deeply committed to her community, regularly helping to prepare and serve community meals and participating in service projects. Beyond her service to others, Roseann embraced many passions. She found joy in cooking and baking for family and friends, filling her home with warmth and generosity. Music was another deep love - she played the flute and participated in church music ensembles, including handbells and choir. She loved traveling to explore new places. In recent years, Joe and Roseann enjoyed taking RV trips with their grandchildren.

Roseann will be remembered for her kindness, intelligence, and deep love for her family and friends. She leaves behind a legacy of care, creativity, and strength that will continue through all who knew and loved her.

A memorial service and celebration of her life will be held at Collenbrook United Church, 5290 Township Line Rd in Drexel Hill, PA, on January 3, 2026. Visitation at 9:30am; Service at 10:30am.
