Rosemary graduated from Port Chester High School in 1985 and met her eventual husband Walter while working at Pitney Bowes. In 1990, she moved on to a long and fruitful career as a Contract Administrator with Carrier Corporation, lasting over 20 years. Rosemary had a fondness for film and TV - she would spend hours discussing the latest episodes of her favorite series every week with her sons. She always loved to vacation with her family, and many great memories were made on the beaches of Provincetown, MA.

Rosemary lived a life of love centered around her family and friends, creating a household where anyone could come and feel welcome. Her cooking was second to none and always the centerpiece to the fondest of memories: holiday parties, Sunday dinners, and weekday meals. She was a glowing example of resilience and strength, and worked hard to make wonderful lives for her sons and lead them to great opportunities. Her selflessness shined as she cared for her husband and parents through sickness, even when dealing with her own. We are forever thankful for the impact she left on us, and will continue to share her values of camaraderie and nourishment with the world.

Family and friends are invited to meet and attend a Mass of Christian Burial on Saturday, April 18th at 11:00AM in The Church of Immaculate Conception - 4 Lavelle Road Amenia, NY. Please go directly to the church. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to The Assistance Fund (tafcares.org/?form=donate), an organization that allowed Rosemary access to crucial medication for her rare disease. In loving memory of our mother, Rosemary Rasile.
