Rosemary A. DeAngelo, 89, a longtime resident of Old Forge, Nanticoke, Winchester, VA, and finally coming full circle back to PA to Exeter, died Tuesday, at Highland Manor Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Exeter. She was the widow of Joseph DeAngelo, who died in July 1991.

Born November 11, 1929 in Williamsport, daughter of the late Anthony and Lucy Esposit, Rosemary was a graduate of Williamsport High School. Prior to her retirement, she was employed as a demo person while in Virginia. She was of the catholic faith.

Rosemary found such satisfaction and fulfillment in her work. Working until she came back to the area in November, she always talked about getting back to work as soon as possible. Rosemary enjoyed crosswords puzzles and knew that a six letter word for total enjoyment is always FAMILY. She loved being surrounded by her family, especially her grand and great grandchildren. She will be truly missed by all who knew and loved her.

The family would like to extend a thank you to the nurses and staff of Highland Manor and the nurses and therapists from Bayada Home Health for the wonderful care and compassion shown to Rosemary. And especially to her dear friend, Mary Shifflett, who was her rock and could put a smile on Rosemary’s face, even on the most difficult days. Your kindness was truly exceptional and will never be forgotten.

Surviving are: a daughter, Diane Bonk, and husband, Richard, Winchester, VA; 2 sons, Michael Schutt, and wife, Marianne, Exeter; and Mark Schutt, and wife, Debbie, Stephens City, VA; 11 grandchildren; 15 great grandchildren; one great great grandson; and many nieces and nephews

A son, James Schutt, and a brother, Anthony Esposit, Jr., also preceded her in death.

A Celebration of Rosemary’s Life will be held on Friday at 8 PM in the Thomas P. Kearney Funeral Home, Inc., 517 N. Main St., Old Forge, with Rev. Scott Sterowski, Pastor of St. Paul of the Cross Parish, Scranton. Private interment with her husband will be in Holy Cross Cemetery.

Relatives and friends may pay their respects on Friday in the funeral home from 5 PM until the time of the service.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society, 712 S. Keyser Ave., Taylor, PA 18517. For directions or to leave an online condolence, please visit the funeral home website.
