Natalie DeRosa Obituary

Natalie Marie DeRosa
March 22, 2023
Natalie Marie Guiliano DeRosa, 75, of West Haven died unexpectedly on March 22, 2023. Natalie's heartbroken family includes her husband Charlie, daughters Lisa DeRosa and Tina (Daniel) McCurry; three precious grandchildren Justin, Bryce and Sophia and her sister Judith Guiliano. She was predeceased by her parents Anthony and Edith Cocco Guiliano and two sisters Jean and Joan Guiliano.
Throughout West Haven, Natalie tirelessly volunteered on many committees to improve life in our city, including the Italian Street Festival, the annual fireworks event, the Savin Rock Festival, and the Carousel Committee. In 2014, West Haven awarded her Italian American of the year in appreciation for her unending dedication. No matter what Natalie was involved in, her family and friends were always devotedly cared for. Known for her very special Christmas cookie trays and many other culinary delights, including her sauce recipe, Natalie showered everyone, especially her grandchildren, with love and attention.
The hours for visitation will take place on Monday March 27 from 4 to 7 pm at the West Haven Funeral Home. On Tuesday morning the procession will leave the funeral home at 9:30. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated in St. John the XXIII Parish, at St. John Vianney Church at 10 o'clock. Interment will follow in St. Lawrence Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the West Haven Fireworks Committee, c/o Sandy McCauley, 86 Richmond Avenue, West Haven, CT 06516.

We share the sorrow of this family on this sudden loss of their wife, mom, grandmother and sister.
Three sisters have died within a year of each other and Natalie had much sadness and grief this past year. Fortunately, her grandkids added much joy to her life, especially this past year. May she be at peace with her sisters. Prayers for the family.

Natalie was a beautiful person, and I´m grateful to have known her. I loved seeing her at Gabriele´s and always had a fresh pot of coffee brewing when I knew she was coming. My thoughts and prayers are with you Charlie, and your family. I am so sorry for your loss.
