Rose (DeMauro) Hewitt, 95, passed away on February 22, 2022. She was the loving wife of the late Thomas S. Hewitt and a lifelong resident of Middletown, CT. Rose is survived by three daughters; Susan (Hewitt) D'Orvilliers and husband Marc, Pamela Hewitt and her husband Charles Calvert, and Amy (Hewitt) Cunningham and her husband Daniel. In addition, she is survived by nine grandchildren; Thomas, Mary and Katherine D'Orivillers, George, Summer and James Calvert, and Alan, Rose and Thomas Cunningham. She is also survived by her sister Marian (DeMauro) Raley and husband Fred; and many nieces and nephews.

Rose was a 1944 graduate of Middletown High School. She received her RN degree in 1947 from the Middlesex Hospital School of Nursing and was part of the Cadet Nursing Corps. In 1958 and 1959, Rose received a BS and MS in Education from New York University.
Rose began her career as an RN at Middlesex Hospital and upon returning from her studies at NYU, she expanded her career as a nurse educator at Middlesex Hospital School of Nursing, teaching biological sciences. Rose continued her healthcare career working for the City of Middletown Health Department where she created and led many innovative health educational programs for the community.
Rose was a strong, intelligent, independent woman who traveled cross country with friends, was awarded scholarships for multiple degrees and lived and studied in NYC. It was during her time in NYC, when the love of her life knocked on her door which led to the creation of a loving marriage and devoted family.

While I only met Rose once she was so sweet. I caught her using her walker to cut some fresh flowers. I introduced myself as her new neighbor. My sincere condolences to her family. She sounded like a great person and inspiration.

The class of 1947 always kept in touch, even in their later years. Met at the Cromwell Diner for lunch once a month. I had the honor of planning the 60th reunion held at the Cypress on South Main St in 2007. May precious memories be of comfort to Rosie's loved ones.

Your mom was an amazing lady. My deepest condolences to the family.
Aunt Rose fiercely cared for her family & community. She told great stories of her life in Middletown, caring for her younger sisters, meeting Uncle Tom, and how he didn´t impress her at first and had to be persistent in his attentions and their funny, loving last conversation.
I once asked her for the recipe for the wonderful side dish that she brought to the Fourth of July cookout. I was both astounded & secretly pleased that the sauce came from a jar, as it was simple enough for me to replicate & make for Rose´s grandchildren.

Amy, Sue, Pam and families, We are thinking of you in your time of sadness. Your mother will be truly missed by all who have the pleasure to know her. Both of your parents were such wonderful people who gave so much to others. The world is a better place because they were here.
