Kathryn Rae Rossi

December 4, 1953 - September 21, 2019

Kathryn Rae Rossi (nee Lunn), a long-time resident of Gloucester Twp., NJ, passed away at home on Sept. 21, 2019 at the age of 65 years. Devoted wife of Joseph C. Rossi with whom she has shared her life for 35 years. Beloved mother of Loris DeCarlo (Bill) of Springfield, PA, Gerald Graham (Denise) of Blackwood, NJ, Samantha Rossi of Gloucester Twp., and Rosalie Rossi of Gloucester Twp. Dear sister of Susan Dye, Cheryl Chalmers (Bill) and Christopher Lunn, and sister-in-law of Paul Rossi. Proud grandmother of Haley, Freddy, T.J., Ben, Lucas, and Vivian. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews whom with many she shared a very close bond. Kathy was a long-time employee of St. Agnes School and Our Lady of Hope Regional School, where she oversaw their after-school program and worked as an administrative assistant. Kathy was always the first face you saw when you walked in the front door for over 20 years. She loved her job, loved the teachers and students, and she has been sadly missed since falling ill to cancer. Born in California on Dec. 4, 1953, she was a talented tap and jazz dancer in her younger years and her love of dance continued even after her last performance. She always enjoyed cooking and baking, especially around the holidays, making Christmas cookies and her specialty, pizzelles. She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and she especially loved playing Go Fish with TJ. With her husband Joe, she loved to entertain at their home, always being the hostess for pool parties, holidays, and birthday celebrations. Her green thumb was evident by her beautiful flowers and abundant vegetable garden and the numerous plants that filled the house. When she wasn’t gardening, you would find her lying in the pool or enjoying the sun on her back deck. Viewing will be Thursday, Sept. 26th, 8:45 AM – 10:45 AM at Our Lady of Hope/St. Jude’s Church, 402 S. Black Horse Pike, Blackwood, NJ 08012, with her Funeral Mass to follow at 11:00 AM. In lieu of flowers, contributions in her memory would be appreciated to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). Condolences may be posted and shared at www.earlefuneralhome.com
