Obituary: Rossi, Teresa V.
She was born December 27, 1924, in Danbury, CT to Oreste and Margaret DelMonte.
In 1945, she married Sydney A. Rossi, who predeceased her in 1980.
The couple had three children, Aleta Markham of New Milford, CT, Lisa Blumenkrantz, of Milpitas, CA,, and Alan Rossi of Spokane, as well as two grandchildren, Daniel, of Chicago Il, and Rachel of Loveland, CO, all of whom survive her.
Mrs. Rossi received a Bachelor’s Degree in Education and a Master’s Degree in Counseling from Western Connecticut State University (then Western Connecticut State College.)
Teri was an avid reader and loved crossword puzzles, and spent many a Sunday afternoon working on the Sunday New York Times crossword puzzle with the help, sometimes solicited and sometimes not, of her devoted husband.
In the course of her life she lived in four cities, and made many loyal friends.
She will be missed greatly.
