Lakeville/Rochester: When her earth time was over, Rosalind passed on January 9, 2024, for eternal life. She passed peacefully at home after enjoying a day with her daughter and playing cards with her fellow bridge enthusiasts.

Preceded by mother Marion Lindsay LoDico and father Joseph Richard LoDico, sister Terryl (John) Heneghan, daughter Kimberly Smith Freund, and her husband Charles Acker Smith. Survived by son Charles (Deborah) Smith, daughter Pamela (Craig) Smith Perkins, son-in-law Gregory Freund, grandchildren Tatiana and Alexis Freund, Matthew Stromecki, and Ariana Smith, and sister-in-law Betsy Bardee Nichols. Also survived by extended beloved family – Susan, Richard, Sally, Douglas, and Mark, as well as countless nieces, nephews, and longtime friends.

Rosalind grew up in Rochester’s 19th Ward and graduated from West High School.  Following high school, she attended the University of Rochester and Rochester General Hospital School of Nursing. As an RN she worked in the ED at Rochester General Hospital. She was a dedicated nurse and remained active in the alumni association throughout her lifetime.

After moving to Conesus Lake/Lakeville she met and married her husband. Eventually she worked alongside him in their family business which became a longtime staple in Lakeville.

Her connections and impact on people can be seen in the community she built within her neighborhood, church, and beloved bridge group at St. John’s. Rosalind also spent her younger days volunteering with religious education, the local food pantry, and as a member of the Garden Club.

Rosalind was a gracious and welcoming host to all, and she delighted in entertaining others. Her artistic side came out in all her preparations and her attention to detail. She so enjoyed the company of others and they in turn so enjoyed her.

The beauty Rosalind saw in life came from her passion for animals, nature, theater, and being with her family. When one thinks of Rosalind, it is impossible to overlook her appreciation for the little moments. The memories her loved ones hold are her smiles during a boat ride on Conesus Lake, her fresh homemade sauce at a family dinner, and her giggles when holding a new puppy in her lap.

Mostly though, it was her love of family and friends that will be most missed and cherished. They gave her great joy and she was sure to let each one know how much love she had for them. She will always be remembered for her kindness, her love, and her tender care.
