In loving memory of

Rosemarie C. Terifay
June 15, 1933 - May 2, 2020

Rosemarie Cecilia Terifay, nee Kraus, age 86, of Bellmawr (originally from South Philadelphia) was called to heaven on Saturday, May 2, 2020.

She was reunited with her recently deceased loving husband, Thomas. Devoted mother of Thomas, Michael, Kathleen (Tom), and Annmarie (John). Loving mom-mom to Ashley Rose, John Blair, and Megan Marie. She is also survived by many family members, nieces, nephews, and friends. She was predeceased by her brother Matthew (Jean).

She was a graduate of John W. Hallahan Catholic Girls High School in Philadelphia, class of 1950. She looked forward to holidays, especially Christmas. Also looked forward to many summers spent down the Jersey shore, in Wildwood and Cape May. And when she was able to, she enjoyed helping out at school when her grandkids were young. But most of all, she loved spending time with family.

Rosemarie was a wonderful wife, mother, mom-mom, sister, aunt and friend. She touched the lives of many with her unconditional love, generosity, and kindness. She will be forever missed.

A private burial will be held at St. Mary Cemetery, Bellmawr, NJ.

"When I think of Aunt Rosemarie so many adjectives come to mind. She was such a sweet, loving, caring, and gentle woman. When I spoke to her on the phone, she would not only asked me how I was doing she would asked for every member of my family by name. I will always cherish our family visits especially spending time down the shore with her. I can never drive by the Vegas Diner or the old Groffs without thinking of her. Aunt Rosary, as Robbie referred to her, will truly be missed but never forgotten. Rest in Peace with your beloved Tom!! "

"Aunt Rosemarie always had the sweetest smile and a loving voice that I'll never forget. She was kind, loving, and always welcoming to those who entered her home. Seeing her in recent years, she always offered a big hug and a heartfelt greeting - making it feel like mere minutes, not months, had passed since we had last seen one another. She will be missed greatly."
