Obituary of Marion Bellarosa

Our Mom grew her wings and arrived safely in heaven on January 21, 2014.

MARION A. BELLAROSA (nee Hopfensperger), born September 4, 1923 in Kaukauna, WI to Grace and Aloys Hopfensperger. She was predeceased by her four brothers and two sisters and her husband, Nicholas H. Bellarosa. Dad has been waiting for her for 27 years! Once again and forever, they are side by side.

She leaves her children Barbara A .Adorna (James), Louise B. Lahr (Don) and Nicholas J. Bellarosa (Maria). She was also blessed with three grandchildren - Debra Shaw (William), and Nicholas and Mandee Bellarosa. Deb and Bill gave Mom FIVE greats (Jenny, Kimmy, Mallie, Billie and Keri). She adored them and they definitely helped keep her young!

Mom had a long and happy life. She was a pediatric nurse, a fabulous wife, mom, seamstress and homemaker. She played lots of golf and tennis and loved to shop with her daughters. She gave and received unconditional love from her family and friends.

Our family thanks and will be eternally grateful for the love, concern and support of friends, wonderful caregivers and Hospice of Palm Beach County's Blue Team. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Hospice of Palm Beach County.

We will celebrate her life in a memorial mass at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Palm Beach Gardens on February 19, 2014, at 10:00 a.m.

She will live in our hearts forever and a day.
