Roseann Monaco Obituary
Roseann Monaco (Damato) of Lake Grove, New York, was born on February 17, 1958 and passed away on December 23, 2025 after her battle with cancer. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, sister, aunt, godmother and cherished friend, among the many roles she held so lovingly and enjoyed.
She is survived by her husband, Roger Monaco; her children (her girls), Allison Benson and her husband Christos; Stephanie Mansfield and her husband Brian; Lisa Parente and her husband Kris. She is also survived by her three Grandsons (the joys of her life) Alexander, Jack and Marco. She is survived by her siblings: Lorraine, John (Kathy), Bob (Debbie); Patricia and Daniel. Many nieces & nephews were blessed to call her Aunt Roe, and she will be missed dearly by all who knew and loved her.
She is reunited in heaven with her parents Pat and Rosemary and her Mother-in-Law Florence and Father-in-Law Dominic and her Brother-in-Law Donald, and her brother Michael who pre-deceased her as an infant as well as many other treasured family members & friends.
Roseann had a heart of gold, and her unmistakable smile and way will forever shine through the lives of her family and friends. Her love, kindness, and light will never be forgotten.
