Rose Snow, of Hamden formerly of Woodbridge, passed away at the Connecticut Hospice in Branford on September 24 after a long illness. She was born Rose Katherine Addisio on June 1st, 1927 in Woodbridge, Connecticut. She is survived by her husband, Harold Snow, son Robert Snow, sister Annie Addisio, brother Michael Addisio, as well as several nieces and nephews. Rose was truly in a league of her own, playing professional baseball during World War II. She fell in love with returning veteran Harold Snow and the two were married on Thanksgiving day in 1948. A lifelong resident of the New Haven area, as a young woman Rose worked for two local institutions – Shartenberg’s Department Store and Roessler’s Hot Dogs. She then spent most of her working life as a manager in the hospitality industry. Over the years, through her work, she made many friends from all walks of life. Rose was an energetic person who enjoyed cooking, musical theater, and travel. An avid Yale football fan and supporter, she entertained and cooked elaborate meals for generations of players and their families in her home.
The funeral will be private. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that a contribution be made in Rose’s name to a favorite charity or to Connecticut Hospice. The North Haven Funeral Home, 36 Washington Avenue, has been entrusted with the arrangements.
So sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayeres are with you.
My deepest sympathy to the family of Rose. She was a dear friend from many years ago. I always remember her as a vital mother,(when Robert was in my classroom) a friend who always had her photographer on hand for important occasions and a truly good human being. her kindness and generosity will long be remembered.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers and thoughts are with you.
To the family and friends of Rosie, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I was a Yale football player and was so thankful to have known Rosie as my “Yale Mom.” She treated so many of us with great love and unconditional hospitality. Rosie and Buster opened up their home and hearts to so many. I have fond memories of going to their house after practice and getting a home cooked meal but more important, we all felt at home with a family. Rosie we will miss you and we thank you for touching the lives of so many with your endless generosity and kindness. You will be missed by all. Love, Chad
Rosie and Buster- I am sorry for dropping that air conditioner out your window and almost hitting Jim Langford. I was not a good handyman 🙂 But you never got mad at me and was always so comforting.
Thank you Rosie and Buster for opening up your home and hearts to so many of us. You are missed by all- Jim
