Rosemarie Croswell

Rosemarie Krasovetz Croswell died peacefully in the comfort of her home surrounded by her family on April 29, 2013. Rosemarie was born April 14, 1936 in Pennsylvania as the youngest of six children and grew up in Cleveland, OH. She graduated from Collinwood High in 1954 and then went on to nursing school where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in 1958. Later on in life, after a full nursing career, she pursued a licensed massage therapy degree where she was able to combine her nursing background and natural healing gifts to care for people the way she always wanted to. After moving to Florida, Rosemarie met and married the love of her life, Donald Croswell. She is survived by her devoted husband of 50 years, three caring daughters, Kelly Croswell (Darryl), Jennifer Delroy Bissey (Arden) and Dawn Bonaccorsi (Joseph); five wonderful grandchildren, Alexander Croswell, Sara Bonaccorsi, Joseph Bonaccorsi, Jessica Delroy and Lori DeJesus (Idel); and two precious great-grandchildren, Eduardo and Julian DeJesus, all of whom were loved by her beyond measure. Her greatest joy was her family, especially the many times when all were gathered together. Rosemarie is also survived by her adoring sister, Erna Kotula and loving brother, Ted Krasovetz both of Bremerton, Washington, and many nieces and nephews. Rosemarie will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed by her family, friends and neighbors, as someone who gave of herself and could be counted on at any time. She loved taking care of people, whether at home with her family or at work. She always knew the right thing to say to make someone feel better. The lives of everyone she met were brightened in so many ways. She was a strong, loving woman with an open heart that attracted many friends. Rosemarie will be with us always, in our hearts and minds, and as long as she is in our memories, she will live on within us all. Her family would like to thank Hospice of Palm Beach County for taking such loving care of Rosemarie in her final weeks.
