Patricia "Patty" (Diliegro) Derosa

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Patricia “Patty” Jane DeRosa (DiLiegro) who left this world on September 27, 2024. Born in Chelsea on February 23, 1953 to Cosmo DiLiegro and the late Jane (Swicegood), Patty was a lifelong Revere resident. She loved nothing more than baking for family and friends and travel. Her love of travel brought her to Disney World a countless number of times in addition to cruises and European vacations that she enjoyed with friends and family. Another of her beloved pastimes was shopping. She did it well no matter where she was on the globe, which was reflected in her impeccable fashion sense.

Patty’s family was her world, and she was theirs. She is survived by her beloved husband of 51 years Kenneth DeRosa of Revere. From meeting in a grocery store as teenagers through to retirement, their bond was a testament to genuine love that stood the test of time. Together, they raised two loving children, Jennifer Lee and her husband Shaun of Lexington, and Michael DeRosa and his wife Stefanie of Merrimac. Patty was “Mema” to Ellie DeRosa, Connor Lee, Marlo DeRosa, and Katie Lee. She was the dear sister of John DiLiegro and his wife Patricia of Revere, and Michael DiLiegro and his wife Lenore of West Peabody. She is also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
