Rose DelMastro

August 12, 1916 - October 10, 2020

Rosalia Adamo DelMastro (known as Rose), 104, former resident of Maspeth, Queens, NY, passed peacefully in her sleep on Saturday, October 10, 2020. At the time of Rose’s death, she was a resident of St. Cabrini Nursing Home, in Dobbs Ferry, NY. She was predeceased by her husband, Pasquale DelMastro. Rose was born in Brooklyn, NY on August 12, 1916, and the daughter of the late Margherita Bilello Adamo and Baldasare Adamo. She is survived by her son Vincent DelMastro and his wife Lynn Moscato-DelMastro, of Tarrytown, NY; her grandson Darian DelMastro and his wife Alicia DelMastro; and her granddaughter Treviana DelMastro. Rose was predeceased by her brother Frank Adamo, and her sisters Josephine Monteleone, and Catherine Montagnino. The greatest loves of Rose’s life were her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren. Nothing made her happier than to have her family over on a Sunday afternoon for her incredibly delicious homemade sauce, meatballs, and ravioli. She was an avid reader, loved gardening, sewing, baking, and homemaking. Rose and her husband loved to dance and were known for doing an incredible “Peabody”. Her friendships spanned decades, and everyone who knew her remembered her with deep fondness. Rose’s true essence followed her thru her whole life. She was genuinely kind, well mannered, thoughtful and loving. Rose dressed and carried herself like a lady at all times. Always with rosary beads nearby, her strong faith in God helped her cope with many of life’s trials and tribulations. She will be terribly missed by those who survive her, but the beautiful memories she has left everyone with will live on in their hearts forever. A small private service will be held in her honor on Wednesday, October 14, 2020 at 12noon, at the Cemetery of the Holy Rood, in Westbury, NY. Rose will be laid to rest with her beloved parents nearby.
