Roseanne Cassano

She was born in Yonkers, NY on May 27, 1938 to the late Silvio (Slim) and Mary (Caputo) Picchianti. She was the middle child to siblings Arthur (predeceased) and Maryann.

She was a vibrant, funny, affectionate, and a caring person. Roseanne married Patsy Cianciulli of New Rochelle, NY and had two beautiful daughters JoAnne and Karen.

When the two divorced in 1971, a few years later she found the love of her life John D. Cassano (predeceased), whom she & her husband built and worked together to make a Yonkers landmark known as Johnny’s Florist which is still standing today! They retired in 1998 & spent most of their time at their home in Florida.

The two loved traveling, spending time with family, and the holidays. She was the greatest daughter, mother, wife, grandmother, aunt, and friend.
