Rosalba "Rose" Carelli

Rosalba Carelli, lovingly known as Rose, was born on July 4, 1953 and passed away on March 24, 2026, leaving behind a life that was as warm and bright as the sun she seemed to carry in her smile.

Rose lived with a spirit that was loving, kind, and funny, and she met each day with a heart that sought to bless, to serve, and to care.

Her home was a place she made beautiful, not only with the things she arranged, but with the love she poured into every corner and the welcome she offered without delay. She was always in a rush, yet she never rushed the people she loved when they needed her to stay. She built a life where kindness was clearly shown.

Dinner with family was a treasured part of her day. These shared moments became the heart of family life, where stories were told and memories were made, and everyone felt the strength of the bond that she laid.

Rose was devoted to helping others, and that generous nature was one of the finest parts of who she was. She noticed needs before they were spoken, and she gave her care because that was simply what her loving heart did.

She is survived by her husband, Matteo, her daughters, Diana, Elizabeth, and Christina, and her sisters, Maggie and Diana, niece, and nephews who will carry her love with them forever. Those who remember Rose will recall her laughter and sweetness. In every shared meal, in every beautiful room, in every act of kindness passed from one heart to another, Rose's love will still bloom.

A memorial mass in celebration of Rose will be held on Wednesday, April 1st at 11am EST at Our Lady of the Angels Roman Catholic Parish located at 12905 State Rd 70 East, Lakewood Ranch, FL 34202. For all unable to attend in person, a link to the livestream will be provided
