Rose M. Parian

Rose Marie Parian, affectionately known as Rosie, of Cincinnati, Ohio, passed away peacefully on her 88th birthday, May 19, 2025. A woman of deep faith, boundless warmth, and unwavering love for her family, she leaves behind a legacy of kindness, joy, and selfless service.

She was the beloved wife of the late Robert “Pete” Parian, and a devoted mother to Lynn Broderick (Mark), Robert Parian (Christina), and Cynthia Parian (Jim Schaffer). Rosie’s greatest pride and joy were her grandchildren—Curtis Wuestefeld, Meghan Broderick (Adam Rovazzini), Olivia Parian, Kyle Broderick (Lucy), Mackenzie Parian, Jacob Parian, and Dillon Broderick—and her cherished great-grandchildren, Laila, Cameron Rose, Jack, Broderick (Brody), and Asher Lynn.

Rosie graduated from Withrow High School and was an active and devoted member of the Bridgetown Church of Christ, where her faith shone through her service. She spent many joyful years working in the nursery, leading youth group activities, and most fondly, sharing lunches after Sunday services with her close-knit circle of friends.

She had a deep appreciation for nature, enjoying camping trips, scenic hikes, and travels that enriched her life with adventure and wonder. Rosie gave of her time and heart, volunteering for Mt. Healthy Christian Home and bringing warmth and good cheer to her work at the local YMCA grill alongside a dear friend. She worked as an office assistant for Dr Nestor Vilenna where she befriended patients and brightened their day. 

Rosie’s spirit was vibrant and full of life. She loved to dance, especially at Coney Island, and her laughter and energy were infectious to all who knew her. She lived with grace, compassion, and an open heart, touching the lives of so many in her community and beyond.

Her family takes comfort in knowing that she is now reunited with her beloved Robert (Pete), her mother Louise, father Jacob and son Mark Her legacy of love and joy will live on in all who were lucky enough to know her.
