Rose “Pat” Roarty was born to Ted & Rose Connolly Reynolds on June 13, 1940 in Brooklyn, NY. She had a loving, memorable childhood with her 4 siblings and remained a Brooklyn girl through and through for the rest of her life.
She met the love of her life, Charlie Roarty, in Brooklyn and they married on May 19, 1962.
Pat & Charlie moved to Long Island, where they raised their three daughters. While being a wife and mother, Pat also went to school to obtain her LPN and then RN and fulfilled her dream to have a career in nursing.
For fun, Pat enjoyed books, puzzles, crafting and loved her time dancing and going on outings with her friends from the Kings Park Irish Set Dancers.
Above all, Pat most enjoyed spending time with her family and relished being a doting Grandma to her four grandchildren who were the lights of her life.

Mom, I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that you’re no longer here! We miss you and love you so much!
Best wishes , thing of you all at this sad times ..
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.
20 days ma, 20 days without you. It’s still so surreal. We’re watching over daddy for you. He’s ok, but lost some days without you. A couple of times I thought of sharing something with you, a cute baby video, an up date on 90 day fiancé, even sister wives, but then realize I can’t! You’re very much missed by us all! Keep watching over us! Love you!
One month today ma, one month. We’re still adjusting, still absorbing the day to day without you. It’s the smallest things that catch us off guard, reminding us of how much you’re missed. Love you ma!
3 months ma 😢😢😢 Still unbelievable….youre loved & missed
Missed you today ma…. Thanksgiving will never be the same…. Love you
4 months ma and it doesn’t get easier! Miss you!
Our first Christmas without you, we missed you! Samantha did a beautiful job, you would’ve been proud of her! Love & miss you mom
Happy New Year in Heaven ma….we miss you! <3
6 months ma 😢 We’re still navigating life without you here. I hope you’re dancing with grandma Rose, your dad, sister & brother. It must be like a big party with all of dad’s relatives too! At least that’s what I hope! Mom you’re missed more than words can convey. Dad’s lonely without you but he soldiers on. We all love and miss you so very much! XOXO
💔💔💔 in my heart and thoughts always
Ma….its been 8 months today 🙁 We all miss you everyday. I heard “December, 1963” twice last week and “Sugar Sugar” once so I know you’re watching over us. I know you’re my angel in heaven. Keep watching over us, and we’ll keep watching over dad for you! Miss & love you!
Happy Easter Ma! I know you were here today, I heard December’63 again ❤️ Miss and love you!
9 months today, I still can’t wrap my mind around the fact that we’ll never see you again, only in our dreams. I saw a red cardinal yesterday, I know that was you ma checking up on us. Dad’s doing ok, but we know it’s still so hard on him, he misses you so much, we all do!
Till we meet again ma, watch over us. You’re our angel in heaven! Love & miss you! 😘
Happy Mothers Day Ma! Love you! Miss you! ❤️
Happy Anniversary Ma. It was dad’s first Anniversary without you, and he was so sad. He brought you a beautiful bouquet of red roses. They really popped next to the other flowers. We love & miss you ma!
10 months without you ma! It still seems so surreal. I came across your last meme to me, a bunch of kisses. I want to save it forever. Dad misses you the most, but he’s putting one foot in front of the other like the rest of us. Wish you were here, but I know you were tired. You fought so valiantly , so strongly, so lady like. Love & miss you ma! Kisses & hugs. Ohhh and I know you’re here, I keep seeing red cardinals:)
Happy Birthday in heaven ma! I can’t believe you won’t be here with us to help you celebrate your birthday! It sucks! Love & Miss you ma! 🎂😘😘🎈
