Obituary
RoseMarie Esposito was born
RoseMarie Notaro on Aug.
3, 1932 to Joseph “Corbett”
and Felice “Fanny” Notaro.
Along with her siblings, Jerry,
Kitty, Alda, Gloria, and “The
Baby” Robert (aka the legendary
“Pepe”), she grew up on N.
Sixth Street in Williamsburg,
Brooklyn.
Blessed with a coloratura soprano
singing voice, RoseMarie
turned down a lucrative professional
opera career, instead
choosing to dedicate her voice
to Jesus and singing for parishioners
of Our Lady of Mount
Carmel church.
RoseMarie always dreamed of
being married and having a big
family; in fact she only dated two
men her entire life, and she got to
marry both of them.
In 1953, RoseMarie married
Anthony “Tony” Pennolino and
was blessed with four children:
Paul, Peter, Anthony, and Catherine.
Sadly, Tony was taken from
her at a very young age, only six
years after they were married.
RoseMarie found love
again with her childhood
sweetheart,
Emanuel “Slats”
Esposito, and they
married in 1963.
A few years later,
she was blessed
with her fi fth child,
Carmine. Together,
she and “Slats” raised
their fi ve children
around the corner from her
childhood home.
RoseMarie dedicated her life
to Jesus and the Catholic church,
and specifi cally to Our Lady of
Mount Carmel church. Her love
and devotion to Jesus was unending.
She instilled in her children,
grandchildren, nieces, nephews,
extended family, and friends this
love and dedication.
RoseMarie served Jesus, Our
Lady, and Our Lady of Mount Carmel
church in any and every way
she could, including singing in the
choir, working the grotto at the
Feast, and participating in groups
such as CCD, Children’s Liturgy,
Third Order, Prayer
Group, Feast Services,
and Ladies
Auxiliary.
As a true testament
of her
devotion, Rose-
Marie’s funeral
mass was concelebrated
by Msgr.
Jamie Gigantiello,
Msgr. David Cassato,
Msgr. Joseph Calise, Father
Joseph Fonti, and Deacon
Philip Franco.
RoseMarie always enjoyed
making special time to be with
her grandchildren: Paul, Jr. and
his wife Joanna, Anthony, David,
James, Natalie, Carla, Matthew,
Valentine, Savannah, Emanuel,
and Elijah; her great-grandson,
Paul the Third; and in honor of
her sister, Gloria, she became
“Grammy-Pie” to Michael.
RoseMarie’s family and
friends were all so blessed and
grateful to have been graced
with this remarkable woman’s
unending love.
RoseMarie Esposito had an impressive singing voice.
