On November 24, 2024, Rose Marie Santoro of West Chester, Ohio, left this world, leaving behind an enduring legacy of love and warmth. She is survived by her devoted husband, Joseph, and is cherished by her children: Lisa Santoro Hom, Chris (Mark) Putnam, Andrea (Dean) Peters, Joey (Janecke) Santoro, Carolyn (Steve) Asman, and Toni (Willie) Duvelius. The light of her life extended to her grandchildren, Adam, David (Bethany) & Nicole (Andy), Corey (Liz) & Josh (Emma), Stephen, Maria, Zach (Veronica) & Hailey (Zach), Jacob, Marcus & Daniel, Gabriella, Sofia, Damien, Nolan & Morgan, as well as her loving great-grandchildren: Jackson, Aubree & Lacey, Ashton & Emberlyn, Carter, Sloane & Chloe, Adaline and Auggie. She was preceded in death by her beloved son-in-law, Terry Hom.

Rose was not just a mother; she was a nurturing spirit whose hospitality knew no bounds. Her home was a sanctuary, always filled with laughter and the aroma of her exquisite cooking. The delicious scent of lasagna and fresh homemade sauce welcomed all who entered, creating a warm environment where everyone felt like family. She loved sharing her culinary creations, passing down recipes and family traditions to her children and grandchildren, and filling their hearts with priceless memories.

An enthusiastic competitor of Rummikub, she had a special talent for laughing and bringing joy to every game night, lighting up the room with her vibrant personality. Rose was a friend to all; she embraced everyone she met with open arms and a smile that could brighten even the darkest of days. Her friendships were deep and meaningful, built on laughter, shared stories, and an unwavering support that reflected the love she poured into all her relationships

.Above all, Rose's greatest pride and joy were her family. Being a mother was her true calling, an integral part of her essence. As her family grew, so did her joy, and she relished every moment spent with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, who were her greatest treasures.Rose will be deeply missed, not only for her amazing meals but for the immense love she brought into the lives of all around her. Her legacy of kindness, compassion, and joy will live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate to know her. In celebrating her life, we remember a remarkable woman whose spirit will forever shine in our memories.
