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.

At Rowie’s request no prior calling hours will be held. Her Funeral Mass will be held at 10:30am on Friday, January 19th, at St. Matthew Catholic Church, 6591 Richmond Mills Road, Rte 20A, Livonia, NY 14487.

Livonia: Sally Elizabeth (Owen) Rosicka peacefully departed this world on Monday, January 1, 2024 at the age of 84. Sally is predeceased by her husband, Joseph Rosicka and parents Thomas and Margery Owen. She is survived by her sister; Virginia (Alphonse) Philippy, children; Thomas (Donna) Rosicka, Daniel (Whitney) Rosicka, Joseph Rosicka lll, Rhiannon (David) McDevitt, and Sarah (Thomas) Thorjusen. She is also remembered fondly by her 7 grandchildren, one great-grandchild and numerous nieces and nephews who loved her dearly.

Born in Rochester, NY in 1939, Sally graduated from Rush Henrietta Central High School in 1956. She was an active Girl Scout and 4-H member, earning accolades for her exceptional skills in baking and sewing. She then went on to attend Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio, where she was a proud member of Chi Omega Sorority. Sally graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Education in 1960.

During her senior year at Wittenburg University, she met her future husband and love of her life, Joseph. They were married shortly thereafter in St. Mary’s Church in Canandaigua, NY. Sally and Joe returned to Springfield, Ohio where she lived for 20+ years, raising her children and aided her husband in the running of the family paving business, Springfield Blacktop. She was a devoted mother, supporting all her children’s interests or activities and staunchly encouraged her children, never missing a game, concert or event. Sally greatly treasured her time with her grandchildren later in her years.

Sally and family returned to New York in the early 1980’s. Sally and Joe’s marriage was a testament to enduring love, lasting almost 40 years until Joe’s passing in 2000.

For more than 20 years, Sally worked for Finger Lakes Developmental Disabilities Service Office. She held various roles during her tenure there always serving with great compassion and great care. Incredibly intelligent, informed and multi-talented, Sally was an avid reader and frequent patron of local libraries. She was a skilled seamstress, cook, baker and gardener. Her green thumb could bring any plant back to life and all plants thrived from her attention.

Sally’s kind heart, selflessness, humility and quirky humor touched many lives. Many will remember Sally for her kindness and the way she naturally put people at ease in her company. She was an uncommonly strong woman who was fiercely devoted to her husband and their five children. Her legacy continues in the memories we hold and the example she set with her infinite patience and consideration for others.

While her passing brings sorrow, the knowledge that she is now at peace with God provides solace to those who mourn her departure. “Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word” Thess. 2:16

Retirement brought her much-deserved rest and relaxation in ‘lake life’ on Honeoye Lake, where she met and bonded with beloved neighbors and friends. She enjoyed boating and the water, coordinated tailgates and was always having fun, making those around her laugh and smile with her sense of humor and theatrics – she was the life of the party!

She was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She loved to have a good time: she sang, even if she didn’t know the lyrics, and she danced like no one was watching. She was hardworking and ambitious, always going after what she wanted. She was proud of her Italian heritage and was a great cook! She was spontaneous and adventurous, adding an assortment of DIY projects to her latest list of accomplishments. She had a weak spot for spas and Talbots. She loved animals, was generous and compassionate.

He has four grandchildren; Lucas, Dagny, Fitzgerald Heun and Douglas E. Dulen, III.

Doug earned his undergraduate degree from the Rochester Institute of Technology. In 1978, Doug moved to Honeoye. The early 1980’s defined Doug’s commitment to the hamlet of Honeoye, where he began investing in the community through small business ownership. Doug knew the importance of investing in Honeoye, its people and how this would build the community. His first small business in the township was the Valley Inn in the early 1980’s. In 1988, he opened Honeoye Auto Parts which has been in business for 35 years.

Doug’s passion for dirt racing was actualized in 1985 when he began sponsoring drivers with Land of Legends. This past race season, he saw Doug Jr. on the dirt track for his inaugural season. The pride and emotion radiated on Doug’s face for his son who is carrying out his passion.

Doug was an avid outdoorsman who loved his property, hunting and travel. Those who knew him best appreciated his sense of humor and work hard, play hard lifestyle. This loss is felt greatly by his family, friends, race community and entire Honeoye community. His contagious smile, humor and prankster antics will be missed by all who loved him.

Honoring Doug’s wishes, there will be no calling hours. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
