Rosemarie B. Trombetta

With deep love, the family of Rosemarie Trombetta announces her passing on Wednesday, December 3, 2025. A devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and faithful servant of God, she lived a life centered on compassion, generosity, and service to others.

She is survived by her children Cindy Tedde,, Mike Trombetta (Janet), Terry Vercammen (Rondoe), Rick Trombetta (Kelly) and Ronny Trombetta (Chris), along with 18 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren who will carry her legacy forward. She is preceded in death by her beloved husband Gino and her two first-born children, Gina Trombetta and Louie Joe Trombetta (surviving spouse Tammy).

Rosemarie was the daughter of the late Bruno and Teresa Pelle. Survived by her sister Anna Schirripa (deceased Joe) and brother Dr Joe Pelle (Glenda). Siblings preceding her in death; Julia Capogreco (surviving Joe), Micky Pelle, and Frances Pelle.

.A devoted Catholic, Rose lived her faith through service and chose a career to reflect that in Nursing. Initially as our School Nurse, then retiring after many years at St Clair Hospital, with post retirement as the Parish Nurse at SEAS in Carnegie.

Her home was a place where everyone felt welcomed, fed and loved. Every holiday was bursting with our huge extended family and even more; neighbors, orphans, foreigners and anyone seeking comfort. When we grew up and moved out, she took in many special people that became part of our family, and she is a beloved “mama Rose” to our exchange students Miquel Brana from Spain and Sarah Mackle from Ireland, our siblings at heart.

Beyond her home, Rosemarie served her Parish and community through Marriage Encounter, teaching CCD, Cursillos and 25 years of faith-sharing ministry. She was recognized as an honorary member of the Ladies of Charity.

Every person she encountered was changed by her warmth, her unwavering kindness, her deep faith, and her example of living a life of love and service for God. Her influence will continue to echo through the lives of the many she touched—family, friends, patients, and some strangers who soon became family.

Rosemarie’s life was a living prayer, and her memory will remain a blessing to all who knew her.
