IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Therese M.
(Curtsinger) Rossi
October 20, 1925 – June 23, 2023
Therese M. (Curtsinger) Rossi age 97 of Canton, passed away Friday, June 23rd. Born in Dallas, TX to the late Eugene and Josephine (Bomba) Curtsinger, she was preceded in death by her husband of 63 years Anthony J. Rossi, brothers Bomba, Eugene, Fr. George, Steve, Buddy, sisters Agnes, Edith, and Mary Rose. Therese was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was an avid bowler and was a member of various leagues for many years. She was an excellent ballroom dancer and enjoyed dancing to the Big Band sound at Meyer's Lake Moonlight Ballroom. It was on a dance floor where Therese met her husband, Tony. Dedicated to her five children she took advantage of brief moments of relaxation at home by working on crossword puzzles and watching classic movies which included music and dancing. Watching the I Love Lucy show was also something that she rarely missed. As Therese's home life began to calm down grandchildren began to arrive. Her name was changed to Nanny and she became one of their favorite playmates. She is survived by her children Anita (Dale) Topper, Mary Rose (Rick) Bajornas, Nancy (Jim) Lackney, Susan (Edd) Gibson, Tony (Deidre) Rossi, Jr., 11 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, and 3 great great-grandchildren. Family and friends will be received on Wednesday from 5 to 7 pm at the Rossi Family Funeral Home. A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated on Thursday, 11:00 am, at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church with Rev. Fr. Benson Okpara, celebrant. The funeral mass will be live streamed at: www.stmichaelcanton.org\funeralservices. Entombment will be in Calvary Cemetery.
A special thanks goes out to the wonderful staff at Belden Village Healthcare.
