Rosalie Randazzo Rundle

SYRACUSE NY – Rosalie Randazzo Rundle, 77, of the Sedgwick Heights Retirement Community, 1100 James St., Syracuse NY, and formerly of Fayetteville NY and Cazenovia NY, died Thursday (June 9, 2011) at St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Center, Syracuse, following a recent surgery.

She was the mother of Debbie Zlomek, North Sanatoga Road, Sanatoga PA, and mother-in-law of Sanatoga Post Managing Editor Joe Zlomek. She occasionally spent time visiting in the Pottstown area, and during each visit remarked how pretty a place she thought it was.

Mrs. Rundle was a loving mother, and devoted wife and homemaker, who lived most of her life in upstate New York. She and her husband of 47 years, John, successfully raised three sons who served in the U.S. Armed Forces, and four daughters, all of whom enjoy successful careers.

Rosalie was born in Brooklyn NY. She loved politics, knew her congressmen by name, and frequently offered her opinions on topics of the day. She enjoyed spending time with her family, and was known as “Nana” to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A Roman Catholic at Immaculate Conception Church in Fayetteville, she was a devout believer in the power of the Rosary. She favored vintage movies, particularly Westerns.

Mrs. Rundle is survived by her husband, John; her children, Greg, of Mexico NY, and his wife Joyce; Donna Thompson, of Syracuse NY, and her husband Bill; Debbie Zlomek of Sanatoga PA, and her husband Joe; Laura Montenaro of Long Island NY; Mary Vincent, of Chittenango NY, and her husband Ken; and John, of Dover DE, and his wife Jennifer; as well as 13 grandchildren, Sarah, Jennifer, Erin, Jake, Danielle, Alexis, Rachel, Joey, Hannah, Mya, Abby, Sam and Sophie; and several great-grandchildren.

She is pre-deceased by her eldest son, Rod, a Vietnam War veteran; and by a great-grandchild, Asia Rose Briel.
