Rosanne was predeceased by her son, Philip J. Kelly, whose memory she carried with her always; her sister, Kathy M. Clemens; and her sister-in-law, Barbara J. (Everett) Flores.
She was a graduate of Cardinal Cushing High School in South Boston and continued her education at Mass Bay Community College. Rosanne valued learning and applied that same determination and discipline throughout her life and career.
She spent over 15 years working at Neiman Marcus in Natick, where she was known for her professionalism, dedication, and the kindness she showed to both colleagues and customers.
In her younger years, Rosanne was active in St. Ambrose Church in Dorchester, where her faith and involvement in the community played an important role in her life. She was also a proud member of OFD, maintaining a strong connection to her Dorchester roots—something she carried with pride and affection throughout her life.
Rosanne enjoyed challenging online games and found comfort in life’s simple routines and quiet moments. Those who knew her will remember her as dependable, caring, and someone whose presence made a lasting impact.
