Rosalie E.

Capone

Rosalie Elsie Capone, 103, passed peacefully on May 28.

Rosalie loved life and loved her family. She lived on her own, took care of her basic needs, and welcomed her family's visits with smiles and laughter.

The second of three children (Frank and Harold) Rosalie was born in North Bergen where she lived until moving to Cliffside Park in 1979 with her mother Jennie and father Anthony. They lived next door to her brother Frank and his wife Gloria.

All had predeceased her.

During World War II, Rosalie was employed for a company that did government procurements.   Only later did she learn it was for the Manhattan Project. For many years she ran her own women's clothing shop in Hoboken.  She retired from American Standard where she had cleverly realized to observe which companies would be good investments.

There was no more loving Aunt than Rosalie. Always eager to attend a family gathering, she quietly sat or enthusiastically conversed. Her happiness was infectious. Anyone who knew her will dearly miss her wise advice and peaceful presence.

She is survived by her niece Joyce Shelley (James), her nephew Patrick (Joanne) both of whom were with her on May 28, and her nephews Paul (Kristie) and Harold Capone and their mother Kathy.

Her grand-nieces and -nephews: Kevin Shelley (Jeanette), Erin Scordo (Vincent), Michael Shelley (Kim), Justine Jannucci (Jonathan), Francis Capone, Elizabeth Shelley, Oliver Capone, Mia Rotella, and Isabella, Daniella, and Paul Capone.

Her great-grand nieces and -nephews: Sean and Kaitlyn Shelley, Tommaso and Amelia Scordo, Sadie and Mabel Shelley, James, Silas, and Audrey Jannucci, Chloe Capone, Roman Rotella, Olympia Shelley, and Mateo and Mia Capone.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her name to the Cliffside Park Pubic Library, 505 Palisade Ave, Cliffside Park, NJ 07010.
