Mrs. Rosemarie Paladino, 76, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, at SUNY Upstate Medical University Hospital, in Syracuse.

Born in Utica, February 18, 1947, Rosemarie was the daughter of the late Ralph & Lena (D’Argenio) DePetrocellis. She was raised and educated locally, graduating from T.R. Proctor High School in 1965. Upon graduation, Rosemarie began her work career with Mohawk Valley Community College (MVCC) in their admissions office. She later acquired a position with Catholic Charities in the Social Services Department. It was on August 21, 1971, that she married Ralph S. Paladino. Their marriage was blessed with over forty-eight years of mutual love prior to Mr. Paladino’s passing on December 3, 2019. A devout catholic, Rosemarie had a great love of God and the Blessed Mother. She was a communicant of St. Anthony and St. Agnes Church and a member of the Nocturnal Adoration Society. Rosemarie willingly dedicated herself to her roles as wife, mother, and grandmother. Her own needs were secondary to the needs of others and she tended her family with devotion and unselfishness. She will always be remembered and admired for her commitment and attention to her loved ones.
