Louise Roselle, 96, passed away at home peacefully in the presence of family and caregivers on March 21st, 2020. A lifelong resident, she was the daughter of the late Angelo and Lucia (Petta) Tamasi. Louise graduated Nott Terrace high School's Class of 1951. She worked for F.W. Woolworth Company in downtown Schenectady where she met the love of her life, Donald E. Roselle. They were married on April 20, 1958 at St. Anthony's Church. As a devoted housewife she later worked as a sales clerk for Carl Company at Clifton Country Mall in Clifton Park. She was a longtime communicant of St. Anthony's Church. Louise was a regular at the annual church Fiesta and was involved in bake sales and Zit i pasta suppers. She liked to travel, especially with her husband on bus trips to Atlantic City, NJ. Louise enjoyed light gambling at the Racino and Rivers Casino. Her hobbies were crocheting, quilting and other crafts. Her regular game shows to watch were Alex Trebeck's Jeopardy; Wheel of Fortune and The Price is Right.
