Rose Salucci, 83, passed away peacefully on Monday, November 14th, 2011. Rose was born on February 24th, 1928 in Bethlehem, West Virginia and was one of 10 siblings. On September 25th, 1948, Rose married the love of her life Pete Salucci and decided to move west to California in 1955 where they settled in Westminster for the next 50 years.

Rose and Pete had two daughters, Sarah and Debra, and were surrogate parents to many more that always seemed to be coming in and out of their home on a regular basis. If there was one thing Rose and Pete had it was an open house, open hearts, and a passion for giving. Everyone who came in to their lives was treated like family.

Rose is survived by her sisters, Virginia, Mary, and Rosalie as well as her two daughters, eight grandkids (4 by marriage), and seven great-grandchildren.

Services will be held at 2:00PM on Saturday, November 19th, 2011 at O’Connor’s Mortuary 25301 Alicia Parkway, Laguna Hills, CA 92653.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Rose’s name to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital (www.stjude.org)
