ALBANY - Rose Ann DeSorbo "Rosie," 72, passed away peacefully Thursday, June 20, 2024, at St. Peter's Hospice. Born in Albany, daughter of the late Joseph and Rose (Garufi) DeSorbo.
She was predeceased by her brother, Frank (Dawn); and survived by her siblings, Joe (Barbara),John (Christine) and Mary; Rosie's beloved nieces and nephews, Mike, Stephanie, Chris, Gina, Doug, Blake; and a great-niece and nephews.
Rose graduated from Cardinal McCloskey High School. From the age of 16, she worked for Carnival's Supermarket until their closing. Rosie worked for the NYS Department of Economic Development for 40 years until she retired in 2009.She was an integral part of the "I Love New York" campaign and was very proud to share photos of New York's most beautiful places. Rosie enjoyed a day at the racetrack, the casino, loudly playing cards or games with family and friends, singing, dancing, relaxing by her pool, and debating with people she loved. She was a fierce competitor. Going out to eat, our biggest food critic! Most importantly, she loved spending time with her family and friends.
Anyone who knew her could attest to her huge personality and enjoyed being in the company of her laugh and raspy voice. She left an unforgettable imprint on our hearts. Many thanks to the staff at the Westmere Dialysis, St. Peter's Hospice and Dr. Lance E. Sullenberger at Capital Cardiology for their compassionate care.
