Rose Laky Obituary
Rose Ann Laky, 90, of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, passed away surrounded by her loving family on Sunday, October 12, 2025.
She was the devoted wife of the late Joseph E. Laky, Sr. with whom she shared 59 years of marriage. Born on April 10, 1935, in Bethlehem, she was the daughter of the late Joseph and Rose Rudzie.
Rose Ann is survived by her three children, Joseph E. Laky, Jr., Kathleen A. Laky, and Michael J. Laky; five grandchildren, Chelsea, Julie, Eddie, Jenna, and Emily; as well as four great-grandchildren, Greyson, Lila, Carter, and Landon.
Her memory will live on in the hearts of her family, who take comfort in knowing she is reunited with her late husband and parents. Her greatest joy came from spending time with her family, whom she loved deeply.
A private graveside service will be held at Holy Saviour Cemetery where she will be laid to rest next to husband and parents, in accordance with her wishes.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions be made to the ASPCA, honoring Rose Ann's love for animals.
