Rosemary Esposito of Highland, New York passed away on October 8, 2026 surrounded by family after a brief bout of pneumonia at Benedictine Hospital. She was 94.

In June, 1951, Rosemary married the love of her life, Fred, and was happily married for 39 years until his untimely death in 1990. She relentlessly forged forth in her new role as a widow. Although having been a homemaker, she decided to go into retail sales at Caldor, a position she truly loved.

Rosemary enjoyed all things-baking, gardening, crafting, and cooking for her family. Holidays were an extremely big deal as evidenced by the strict instructions left for the family to follow now that she has passed. She was fiercely independent and lived alone to the end.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that a donation be made to Hudson Valley Hospice. Many thanks to the staff on 5 SMC for their compassion to our mother during her illness.
