Rose "Pat" Roarty

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.

Pat is survived by her husband of 62 blessed years, Charlie, her daughters Kathy Melisi, Patricia Roarty, Rosemary Ginis, her son-in-law George Ginis, her grandchildren Samantha Melisi, Nicholas Melisi, Niko Ginis, Alexa Ginis and her sisters Peggy Schiro and Cathy Kane.
