Rose Jennie LoPalo Guarino

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our mother Rose Jennie LoPalo Guarino. Rose’s life was defined by her love of family and friends.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, she moved from Brooklyn to Rosedale, Queens from 1960-1966. In 1966 she moved to Goshen, NY, where she continued to raise her family and make lifelong friends. She looked forward to spending her winter months with her sister and brothers in Clearwater, Florida, and summers with her family at Lake Wallenpaupack, Pa. She especially loved all the activities she did with her daughter, Mary-Jo.

Rose lived a full and generous life devoted to family, friends and tradition. She was a very active member of Goshen Seniors where she enjoyed multiple activities and many senior trips. As an original resident of Northgate Manor she always looked forward to Bingo and other activities at the Community Center with her friends and neighbors. Rose was an avid fan of the NY Mets and NY Giants. She was also a devoted member of St. John’s Catholic Church.
