Lucy Rosato Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 2, 2011.
ROSATO, Lucy Ilena (nee Centomo) May 11, 1953 - April 30, 2011 After a long and valiant battle Lucy Ilena left us just before her 58th birthday. She was a devoted spouse, mother, sister, daughter-in-law and friend to many. Lucy will be remembered as an accomplished scientist, a pioneer who achieved international recognition in her field, and who paved the way for other women to follow. She will also be remembered for her great sense of humor and her zest for life. Lucy Ilena is survived by her husband Tony, her children Cristina and Richard (Violaine), her sisters Linda and Liana, her brothers Aldo and Richard, her brother-in-law John Rosato and their families, her mother-in-law Pia Rosato, as well as a large extended family and many friends. Visitation will take place at: 1255 Beaumont Avenue (between l'Acadie and Rockland) Town of Mount Royal on Monday, May 2 from 7 to 10 p.m. Funeral service in the chapel of the complex on Tuesday, May 3 at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Parkinson's Society in Lucy's memory would be appreciated.

My sincere condolences to all Lucy's family, such a tragedy. I had the pleasure and privelege of sharing an office at Noranda with her for 8 years. She was a lot of fun, a true colleague and friend.

My condolences to the Centomo and Rosato family. I grew up across the lane from Ilena in Park Ex, and she was such an uplifting child. She found humour in everything. I have enjoyed communicating with her on-line and I will miss her and remember her always.

She had a way of making everyone around her smile. She brought contagious laughter to every room she entered, and I will forever remember Ilena for making every moment with her memorable, and always filled with love.

To the Centomo and Rosato families,

Here is a life taken much much too soon. I worked with Lucy when she was CEO of Noranda Income Fund and came to admire her for her business acumen, determination and love of life.

She will be dearly missed.
