It is with immense sadness to announce the passing of Rosanne S. Patten on Tuesday August 9, 2022. She was a beloved wife, mother, sister, aunt, cousin, Nina, and friend. Rosanne was born on March 15, 1953 in Western NY where she attended Notre Dame Catholic School. She later received her nursing degree at Genesee Community College and was a registered nurse for the last 50 years.
Rosanne is survived by her husband Randy Patten, the love of her life, her three adoring children; Benjamin, Timothy and Erin Clausi (Patten), three beautiful grandchildren; Joseph, Declan and Ella Rose Clausi and brothers Paul, James, George, Daniel Strollo, and numerous nieces and nephews. Rosanne is predeceased by her parents Dominic and Margaret Bellow and her adoptive parents George and Carmella Strollo.
Our beloved Rosie was a lifelong music lover and enjoyed attending musicals, operas, ballet, and playing the piano at home for her family. She enjoyed spending time in nature, kayaking and vacationing on Lake George, NY. She loved to travel, her favorite place being the ocean where she would always bring back sea shells for her Ella. She loved the fresh sea air and
enjoyed relaxing with a beautiful view of the beach. She adored animals all her life, her dog 'Middle of the Night'; and an adopted rescue here and there.
As a devoted Mother she raised her family with endless love, peace, and Faith. As a grandmother she enjoyed every second with her babies and never took a moment for granted. As a Registered Nurse she nurtured and healed others with compassion throughout her 48 year career both in the hospital and dermatological care. She was the best friend to many, a beautiful selfless soul, who touched and enriched the lives of everyone she knew with kindness, hope, and positivity.
A Wake service will be held at Gleason Funeral Home Schenectady, NY on Friday, August 12th from 4 - 7 PM. A Funeral service will be held at St. John the Evangelist Church Schenectady NY on Saturday August 13th. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to be made to The Rosanne Patten Memorial fund at any Adirondack Trust branch.
