Rose Schiavone (née Greco) passed peacefully at her home in Wallingford, PA, on November 8, 2023, with the loving care of her daughter Michele and her caretaker Gayane. She was 97 years old.
Rose was born in Brooklyn, NY and was a graduate of AB Davis HS in Mt. Vernon, NY. She was the youngest child of Serafina and Salvatore Greco. She was predeceased by her brother Carlo and her sister Anna. Her husband, Sebastian Schiavone, preceded her in death after 55 years of marriage. They had two children, Michele Cruz-Saenz, Ph. D and William Schiavone, DO (Karen).
Rose was proud of her Italian heritage, her husband, her children, her grandchildren (Emily Schiavone, Sebastian Cruz-Schiavone, MD, Gonzalo Cruz-Schiavone, MD, and Julia Grandbesancon) and her great-grandchildren (Sienna Grandbesancon, Olivier Grandbesancon and Teodoro Patriku). Her love for her family was returned by every family member, but none more than Michele’s total dedication to her mother’s welfare. Rose will be Entombed, Saturday, November 18th next to Sebastian at Ferncliff Mausoleum, Hartsdale, NY.
