Rosemary B. (Wysocki) Michaels Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

The angels carried Rosemary B. (Wysocki) Michaels into the arms of her Lord and Savior on the early morning of October 6th. Rosemary was born on February 3, 1929 in West Nanticoke, PA to Albert and Mary Wysocki. She was the youngest of seven brothers and sisters who eventually all moved to Syracuse to start their adult lives, begin careers, and raise families. Rosemary was the last remaining sister in the Wysocki clan and she now joins her sisters Lottie (Kolodziej), Angela (Timofy) and Theresa (Czerniak) and her brothers Leonard, Chester, and Francis (Jake) in the eternal paradise. Rosemary graduated from Vocational High School in Syracuse and received her registered nursing degree from Crouse Hospital. In her early career Rosemary worked as a pediatric and surgical nurse in local hospitals. She took a sabbatical from nursing and worked in the City Clerk’s office while raising her two boys. Rosemary returned to her career love of nursing and spent the last 22 years of her working life as head nurse in the Hutchings Geriatric Day Care Program. Rosemary was a loving and stern mom to her two sons, a dedicated practitioner to her profession, and a devout member of her faith. She was guided by a kind heart, a thoughtful soul, and a fun loving spirit, all of which remained with her through her battle with Alzheimers over the past decade. Rosemary is survived by her two sons, Robert G. (Kimberly) of Georgetown, TX and Kenneth M. (Cyndi) of Cleveland, NY; three grandchildren: Eric, Jennifer, and Caleigh; three great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. The family extends its heartfelt gratitude to the kind and compassionate staff at the Presbyterian Home in New Hartford, NY where Rosemary spent her last eight years. They kept her happy and vibrant to the end. Rosemary was a lifelong communicant of The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, where a Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Monday at 9:30 AM. Burial to follow at Sacred Heart Cemetry in Geddes.
