Rosalie Marie Palazzo went peacefully surrounded by loved ones to be with our Lord on February 2, 2018. She was born on March 12, 1931 in Bronx, New York. She was the youngest child of Anthony and Carmella DeCarlo.
Since the day she was born, Rosalie was a vibrant and genuine soul. Growing up, Rosalie loved to dance. Throughout her childhood and teenage years, she danced alongside her brother, Peter in numerous recitals and performances. She met the love of her life, Lawrence Palazzo in 1952, while bowling, another of her favorite hobbies. They fell deeply in love and got married on June 26, 1954.
They started their family shortly after, having their first child, Larraine in April 1955. Two years later they moved their family to Italy, and had their only son, Christopher, in 1959. They returned back to New York in 1962 and completed their family with Marisa (1962) and Gina (1964).
Eventually, Rosalie and Doc settled in Glasgow in 1981. Here, Rosalie quickly became a loved and respected member of the community. She was a loyal member of the Soroptimist, Bible Study, PCCW and Hospital Guild. She enjoyed golf, bingo and playing the slot machines. She was an avid knitter who initiated the “Baby Hat” program at Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital.
Her greatest blessing in life was becoming a grandmother to four grandsons and one granddaughter. She was a proud and dedicated grandma, and her life became even more complete with the births of her two great-granddaughters in 2017.
Rosalie is survived by her loving husband, Dr. Lawrence Palazzo; brother, Peter DeCarlo (Mary); children Larraine Eiland (Pete), Chris Palazzo, Marisa Brockmier, and Gina Hirsch (Dave); grandchildren Jeffrey Eiland, Emily Miller (Zach), Nick Hirsch (Sarah), Zack Hirsch (Chelsea), and Miles Palazzo; great-grandchildren Charlotte Miller and Rowan Hirsch; and numerous nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her parents; brother Jack; son-in-law Wade Brockmier.
Rosalie was loved by everyone who knew who her and will be forever missed.
