She was a member of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Church in Lowellville, where she served on the Altar Guild. She was also a member of the Mount Carmel Society and the Lowellville American Legion Post #247 Ladies Auxiliary.

Rosaria was a wonderful cook and baker and was generous with sharing her recipes. Her pizza and bread were second to none. She loved playing Bingo, a friendly game of cards, and crocheting. Her family will cherish her afghans for many years. A baseball enthusiast, Rosaria was a fan of the New York Yankees. She was a faithful Catholic and said the rosary every morning. Rosaria was a devoted and proud wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother and will be sadly missed by everyone who knew and loved her.
