Rosalie DeChellis, 91, of White Township, passed away peacefully surrounded with family by her side on December 6th, 2025, at Cambridge Village in Beaver Falls.

Rosalie was an extraordinary wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, whose presence was a blessing to everyone she touched. She built her life around love, faith, and service, and in doing so, created a legacy that will continue to shape her family for generations. Rosalie’s greatest joy was family. Her home was more than a place to gather, it was the heart of the family. The aroma of her delicious pasta sauce prepared with devotion from the tomatoes she grew in her garden and canned, welcomed everyone who walked through her door. She understood that food could be an expression of love, and every meal she made carried warmth, comfort, and the joy of togetherness. She created a space where stories were shared, laughter was abundant, tears were protected, and no one ever left hungry or unnoticed. She was a servant leader in the truest sense, she offered help before others even knew they needed it. She worked hard in every season of her life. While raising her five beautiful children with her late husband Frank DeChellis, she earned her nursing degree. She was a dedicated nurse at Heritage Valley for 24 years, referred to by her colleagues as “Saint Rose”, she cared for countless individuals throughout her career, offering comfort not only through her skill but through her remarkable kindness. Her unwavering dedication to Jesus guided every step she took. She was also a life-long, active, and respected member of Life Family Church in New Brighton, formerly New Brighton Christian Assembly, where she served faithfully as her church’s bookkeeper for many years, offering her time and talent with quiet devotion and integrity. As the soprano in a beloved family quartet, she joyfully shared her voice throughout different churches, singing praises that lifted spirits and reflected the depth of her faith. She generously gave to Christian charities and missions to spread the gospel of Jesus throughout the world. Yet, for all her strength and determination, she carried herself with a gentle spirit and a humble heart. She never sought praise, only opportunities to make life a little brighter for the people around her. She was a steady source of encouragement, wisdom, and unconditional love to her family. She celebrated every accomplishment, soothed every sorrow, and gave her loved ones a sense of home no matter where they were. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren will forever remember her gentle hugs, her warm smile, and the way she made each of them feel uniquely cherished. Though her absence leaves an ache that cannot be measured, her life leaves a legacy that cannot be forgotten. The lessons she taught, about kindness, generosity, family, and faith will continue to guide those who loved her. Her spirit lives on in the traditions she created, the love she nurtured, and the countless lives she quietly uplifted.

Friends will be received on Wednesday, December 10th, from 3-7 p.m., in the J&J Spratt Funeral Home Inc., 1612 3rd Avenue, New Brighton, who was in charge of her arrangements. She will lie in state on Thursday, December 11th from 9 a.m. until the time of a Funeral Service at 10 a.m., in Life Family Church, 1810 Valley Avenue, New Brighton, with Pastor Sam DeMarco officiating.

Private interment will follow at Beaver Falls Cemetery, 2045 Darlington Road, Beaver Falls.
