Obituary of Rose Marie Coreno

CARENO ROSE MARIE Formerly of Highland Park on Monday, November 21, 2016, age 93. She is survived by her niece, Nora Jean Lydon, who assisted Rose with her care needs for many years and when she could no longer provide care for Rose, she set in motion a path for others to step in to be Rose’s angels in the final years; Dr. Christine Herb, Renee Furby, Allegheny County Area Agency on Aging, Patricia Carlson Koehler, Diane Tate, and in the last years, Oakmont Nursing and Rehabilitation Care Center. Rose was the much cherished loving great-aunt of Lisa Smith and Daniel Smith. Rose enjoyed having Father Steven M. Palsa, come to her home and then the nursing home for communion. Rose loved to talk and joke, and was a very loyal friend to Virginia Heller, whose operatic and artistic talents she always praised, and Margaret Hopper, who shared every day with Rose until Marge’s death. Rose worked in the manufacturing section of Nabisco for more than 30 years. Those who knew Rose remember her goodness and fun-loving spirit and trust she is in the care of her Lord. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held in Sacred Heart Church, Shadyside, on Friday at 12 noon. Interment private.
