Born on September 6, 1942, in Middletown, Rosemarie was a lifelong resident of the community she loved so dearly. She graduated from Middletown High School in 1960 and remained deeply connected to her roots and community throughout her life.
For over five decades, Rosemarie was a devoted parishioner of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Middletown. Her Catholic faith was a guiding light in her life and a source of strength and comfort to those around her.
Rosemarie shared a loving marriage of 57 years with her husband, Tony Jaccarino. Together they built a family grounded in love and laughter. She is lovingly remembered by her daughter Tina Tilyou and her husband Chris; her sons Peter and his wife Emily, Jason, and Beth Kunis loved as second daughter; and her six cherished grandchildren: Emmitt, Ellie, Morgan, Anahlea and her husband Jorge, Eden, and Cameron.
She also held close bonds with extended family members including cousins Diana Makin and her husband Art, and Joanne Giza and her husband Jeff.
