It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Rosaria "Rose" Sebastiano (née Ciarlitto) on August 22, 2026, at the age of 85. Born on October 7, 1940, in Torella del Sannio, Italy, Rose was known for her vibrant personality and sharp sense of humor. She cherished the simple joys of life, from a glass of wine to her favorite soap operas, but her greatest happiness came from family gatherings filled with laughter and love. Rose was predeceased by her husband, Michele Sebastiano. She is survived by her devoted children, Phyllis, Adele, Vince (Bess), and John (Mary), as well as her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Rose also leaves behind her sister, Norma (Tommaso), and several brothers and sisters-in-law. A visitation will take place on August 28, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Bay Gardens Funeral Home, followed by a funeral service at 1:00 p.m. in the chapel, with a private interment at Resurrection Cemetery.
