Rosemarie G. Daffin, age 81 of Mantua Twp. - and Brigantine NJ - passed away peacefully on Sunday, August 3, 2025.
Born in Camden, NJ to the late John Giuliano and Angelina (nee Bonetto), she graduated from Camden Catholic High School Class of 1961.
Rosemarie married Thomas Carlton Daffin on July 28, 1973 and they shared 52 years as husband and wife and had two sons - Thomas John and John Perry Daffin.
Rosemarie was a legal secretary in Philadelphia, secretary for Holy Nativity Lutheran Church in Wenonah, and secretary for the nursing program at Gloucester County Community College.
And, many people came to know Rosemarie through her active role with Avon for over 40 years - where she would drive all around South Jersey personally delivering Avon to the homes of her customers that all became her friends. Or, through her side job as a hair dresser - where she would often have her friends and family to her house in Mantua to do their hair.
She was an avid reader and loved spending time with her family, especially her grandsons, TJ and Hunter.
Rosemarie is survived by her husband, Thomas; two sons, Thomas J. Daffin & his wife, Kathleen (Mantua) and John P. Daffin (Egg Harbor Twp) and her two grandsons, Hunter Thomas Daffin and Thomas James Daffin. She was predeceased by her sisters, Michaelina Luciano and Loretta Lisa.
Relatives and friends may visit from 9:30 am to 10:45 am on Friday, August 8, 2025 at Church of the Incarnation, 240 Main Street, Mantua, NJ where a funeral Mass will be held after visitation at 11 am.
