Mary Rose Ozoroski

Mary Rose “Tinkie” Ozoroski (nΓ©e Spaziani), aged 95, passed away peacefully on June 21, 2024, in Wilmington, DE. Born in 1928, in West Chester, PA, she was a loving and caring person with a wonderful sense of humor.

Maryrose graduated from West Chester High School and began her career at Dupont as a keypunch operator. She later took a hiatus to raise her children and subsequently returned to Dupont, where she contributed significantly to the Legal Department and Legal Library until her retirement.

A woman of many talents and interests, Maryrose was renowned for her culinary skills, particularly her baking. She also had a passion for sewing, arts and crafts, and was always the life of the party on the dance floor. These hobbies provided not only joy to Maryrose but also to those who knew her.

Maryrose is survived by her loving children, Joseph and his wife Debbie of Rehoboth Beach, and daughter Michele of Wilmington. She was a proud grandmother to Christopher and a beloved aunt to many nieces and nephews. Her friendships spanned widely as she touched many lives with her caring and humorous nature. She was preceded in death by her devoted husband Leo, and her siblings Lucy, Dan, Frank, Philamena, Fred, Mentina, and John.

    I will never forget the sleep overs at Michele's house and all the fun trouble we got into. Mrs. Ozoroski, as I fondly called her, was like a second mom to me. So kind, so loving and I was lucky enough to enjoy her many baking talents and treats. Michele and Joey were her proudest achievement. I hope they know she is now their guardian angel, always keeping a loving, watchful eye over them and all of us. Be at peace dear Mary Rose. Always in our hearts.
