1933 ~ 2026
Rosemarie D’Errico Colon, passed away peacefully on October 31, 2026 in Staten Island, NY. Born in 1933 in on Avenue U in Brooklyn of the late John and Anna D’Errico, brother Domenick and sister Concetta. Rosemarie is survived by her lifetime love, Peter, sons Michael (Tricia), John (Linda), James (Liezl), predeceased by her beloved son, Peter.
“Grandma Roro” was loved dearly by her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was a stellar cook and enjoyed spending time with her family. She was very independent and active taking public transportation from Staten Island to NYC and Brooklyn where she worked at Social Security into her 80s. Rose loved walking especially to her favorite spots on Avenue U in Brooklyn. An artist of cooking, she created incredible Neapolitan dishes with a few simple ingredients. Her dedication to her family was remarkable, evidenced by the care and devotion by her family during the latter part of her life.
The Colon family would like to express a sincere thank you to the wonderful staff at Eger Rehabilitation Center for all of their heartfelt work and support through these difficult years.
We are so grateful for our Mother’s love and support. She is with our Lord and Savior watching over her family. Her peaceful spirit will guide and protect us, and she will remain in our hearts and prayers.

My family knows the Colon family for many years. Rose was the salt of the earth. A more caring person is hard to find. If you were a friend of the family, you were a part of the family. We will miss her. Our heartfelt condolences to the Colon family. Allan G. Larson & Family.
