Rosalie Benenati Rodiquenzi, 96, of Warwick, NY passed away peacefully at home on April 11, 2015.

Born in Norwich, NY on June 21, 1918, Rosalie was the daughter of Frank and Catherine (Paino) Benenati. She graduated Norwich High School in 1936.  She married Anthony "Regan" Rodiquenzi on June 19, 1948, who predeceased her. She attended Orange County Community College for her associates in nursing and later got her BS.  She worked at the Spring Valley School District and retired from the Ramapost School District in Rockland Co.

Rosalie lived her life independently as she wanted up until the last couple of months. She enjoyed her friends and neighbors immensely and spent her time traveling, playing bridge, knitting and doing needle work. She will be missed dearly.
