GERALDINE ROSA Obituary

ROSA, Geraldine Age 95, of Seabrook Beach, lovingly known as "Gerry," passed away peacefully at home, on Friday, November 8, 2024. Born and raised in Cambridge, MA. She was the cherished daughter of the late Frank and Mary Nugent and a dear sister to eight siblings. Gerry shared a remarkable 70-year marriage with her beloved husband, Domenic D. Rosa, until his passing in 2020. She was the loving and proud mother of nine children. Our mother was an extraordinary woman with a deep love for the ocean. She found joy in swimming and continued to do so until the age of 94. Her devotion to family showed in the love she gave and received. She was a kind, patient and diplomatic woman. Gerry's elegance and grace were enhanced by her keen sense of fashion and she was an inspiration to all. There will never be enough words to describe our beautiful mother. She was a marvel, one of a kind and the Queen of Rosa Nation. Left to honor Gerry's memory are her nine children, Michael Rosa and his wife, Laura, Donna Burke and her husband, George, Mark Rosa and his wife, Cyndi, Kim Rosa, Joanne Trocki and her husband, Edward, Judy Rosa, Charles Rosa and his wife, Mary, Cynthia Rosa and Thomas Rosa and his wife, Gail. She also leaves behind 31 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren and many extended family members and friends who will forever cherish her memory. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 AM, on Saturday, November 16, 2024, at Saint Elizabeth of Hungary Church, 1 Lowell St., Seabrook, NH. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Chucky's Fight.

Jerry and Shirley, Mary Kitty and Jane Rivard, and my mother, Catherine. And so many other lovely women whose laughs could be heard two blocks away on "Club" night. Everyone should be blessed with enduring friendships like these strong, loving women shared. Rest easy, Gerry. I´m sure when all of you arrive, Club and the laughs will resume. Cheers, Julie Jackson

I just saw the message from Mary Tibbetts and it brought a smile. My mother Jackie (Doyle) McCann was also one of the "Club" ladies. They all had such wonderful friendships and when they came to our house, I think every neighbor on the street could hear the laughing. Mrs. Rosa was always so elegant and stylish but more so, a lovely person. She´s in my prayers.

So sorry to hear this. Gerry, always "Mrs. Rosa" to me, was a life-long friend of my mother, Doris (Curley) Sutherland. I remember all the "Club" ladies getting together over the years at each other's homes where they would talk about what was going on in their lives and the lives of their children. Mrs. Rosa was always dressed so fashionably, and I always told my mom that she looked like a model! Prayers to you all.
