Rose G. Capozzolinee Giletto
On October 20, 2009, of Washington Twp. Age 74. Beloved wife of Ralph. Devoted mother of Maria G. Phillips Mark, Debra A. Moore Russell and Roberta L. Sochanski Ronald. Loving grandmother of Alexander, R. Michael, Samantha, Matthew, Jacqueline, Jennifer, Nicole and David.

Rose Capozzoli was born at home on January 24th during the blizzard of 1935. She was the loving daughter of the late Anthony and Grace Giletto and the dear sister of the late Charles Giletto. For over 50 years, she was married to her true love, Ralph. They shared may happy years together with their three daughters, living in South Jersey and spending summers at the shore.

Rose attended St. Nicholas of Tolentine Grade School, Hallahan Catholic Girls’ High School and Temple University. She was a manager in Social Services at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital prior to becoming a wonderful wife, mother and homemaker.

Rose was a devoted wife and mother who lived her life to please her family. She was an avid cook and baker who delighted her family and friends with many gourmet meals and desserts. She was involved in the Sacred Heart Guild, PTA, and her children’s activities. Rose enjoyed playing bridge and bowling in her younger years. Rose was also a voracious reader and enjoyed her morning crossword puzzles and cryptograms.

In her later years, she was dedicated to her eight grandchildren, who gave her continued pleasure. It was Rose’s joy to care, cook and bake for them. She was always pleased to hear about their adventures and accomplishments as well as share her stories. It was her passion to create special cakes and meals for her grandchildren, and no request, however great, went unanswered.

Rose will be greatly missed by her loving family.

Ralph and Capozzoli Family, We are so saddened to hear of Rose’s passing. The Capozzoli and DeLong families shared many happy times. Together, we enjoyed watching our children at many township and high school sporting events. We also shared many memorable times at the Capozzoli’s in Washington Twp. and Ocean City. Rose was always in the kitchen cooking, baking and feeding everyone, including our entire softball team, ’Clip Joint’. When I think of Rose, I picture her in the kitchen cooking meatballs, gravy and pasta. If you stopped by her house to say hello, you would have to stay for dinner, ‘no’ was never an option. Nothing was ever too much trouble for her family and friends. Rose’s presence will be missed; but remember we never lose the people we love, even to death. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. May these memories help you get through tomorrow. Please accept our deepest sympathy. Rose will always have a special place in the hearts of the DeLong Family.

To the Capozzoli Family - Just a note to send my condolences and hopes that the wonderful memories of loving Rose get you through this difficult time. I've often thought of the good times of sitting at your kitchen table with Mr. and Mrs. C., the girls and Judi. Mrs. C. affected so many of us. God Bless. ~ Kerri Schoettle Jasen

Capozzoli Family~ I was so very sad to hear of Rose's passing. I will always have so many fond memories of her and all of your family.

Roberta and family--I am so very sorry for your loss. Please know in this difficult time that my family and I are praying and thinking of all of you.

I was so saddened to hear of my dear Aunt's passing and, in the last year, we had shared so much through our intimate phone calls every so often. Aunt Rose was completely devoted to her family and, anyone that knew her, could see that she adored all of you. I will most remember Aunt Rose's words of wisdom and infinite advice, and who could forget that broccoli bread :-! May you rest in peace Aunt Ro Ro...love you, Min~

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
