Rose Marie Savino

Rose Marie Savino (Calcagno) of North Riverside, Illinois was born In Chicago on April 23, 1931 and passed away on December 6, 2023. She was loving wife of (late) Joseph Savino and adored mother of Timothy (Diane), James, Don Savino (Kathy Rodgers), Nancy Dunne (John) and the late Carol Thoni (late Michael).

She was preceded in death by her sisters, Delores Calcagno, Joyce Cook (late John) and brother, George Calcagno (late Carmella) and will be greatly missed by her surviving sister, Lorrain Chilton (late Reggie).

Rose Marie was grandmother to eight grandchildren: Amy Savino-Lambert (Andy), Lea Knaub (Chris), Robin Savino, Joseph Savino, Sara McClain (Dan), Dylan Thomas, Jordan Zaabel (Ray) and Taylor Savino.

She was also grateful to know and love her five great-grandchildren Ava Knaub, Oliver Knaub, Anna Lambert, Aria Lambert and Lily McClain.

Rose Marie leaves behind a legacy of love by all she touched. She was generous and selfless throughout her life. She collected Cardinals because they reminded her of the connections to those that preceded her in death and God’s promise of life never-ending.

Fittingly, Rose Marie passed away in a circle of never-ending love, surrounded by all of her children and grandchildren.

Friends and family will gather for a celebration of her life that will be held on January 19, 2024 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, with a brief service following at 12:00 pm at Woodlawn Funeral Home 7750 West Cermak Road, Forest Park, Illinois 60130.

A private family burial will follow on a later date at Memory Gardens in Arlington Heights, Illinois.

In lieu of flowers, the family asked for donations to be directed to The Ronald McDonald House of Indiana-Michiana for the generous care they have provided to her great-granddaughter, Lily.
