Rose Mary (“Rosie”) Skowron (nee DiGrigoli), 93 years of age, fell asleep in death on Saturday, December 5, 2020 at Blossom Hill Nursing Facility in Huntsburg, Ohio.

Rosie was born April 16, 1927 near Buffalo, New York.  She was the oldest of four children, Elaine and Michael preceded her in death.

Rosie married the late Joseph Skowron on November 22, 1947 and two children were born from this union, her son Alan Skowron (Burton, OH) and daughter Karen Lussier (E. Hampton, MA).  Rosie adored her two children and was cared for by her son Al for the past 18 years.

Her 4’10” stature was filled with feistiness including her quick-witted sense of humor.  It never took more than a minute before you were smiling ear to ear conversing with Rosie. Her fashion sense could not be denied either. Being raised in a tailor’s home, her outfits were always beautiful from head to toe.  She also loved the outdoors, helping her son in his yard & taking walks with her black lab, Coal.  Since November 1965, Rosie has been an active member of Jehovah’s Witnesses. She loved her friends in the congregations located in Pittsfield, MA, Ravenna, OH and Chardon, OH.  Her love for her God Jehovah was evident in all that she did.  She was always a source of encouragement, ready and willing to help others in their time of need whether through a kind deed, a comforting word, or scriptural encouragement.  Rosie always focused on the future, teaching people about the Kingdom of God being the only permanent solution for all of mankind’s troubles.

Rosie leaves to cherish her loving memory her two children, Alan Skowron and Karen Lussier; 1 grandchild, Jason (Jenny) Lussier; 2 great grandchildren; her sister Dolly Hunt; and a host of innumerable friends.

A Memorial Service for Rosie will be held by videoconference on Saturday, December 19, 2020 at 5:30 p.m. on Zoom Video Conferencing.
