Rosemary C. Lupo (Grasso)

Rosemary C. Lupo (Grasso), 71, of The Villages, FL, and Wells, ME (formerly of Hudson and Clinton, MA), died on August 27, 2022, at her son’s home in Bedford, NH. She is survived by son Nicholas Lupo III, of North Grafton, MA and his partner Danielle Boland; son Jonathan Lupo and son-in-law Kenn Archibald of Bedford, NH; her sister Josephine Crowe and brother-in-law Martin Crowe, of Lecanto, FL, as well as three grandchildren: Jake, Sarah, and Henry; two great-grandchildren, Samuel and Kinsley; and beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins. Rosemary was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, Nicholas Lupo, Jr., and parents John and Elizabeth Grasso.

Rosemary was raised in Waltham, MA and graduated from Framingham State College with a degree in Psychology. She worked for many years at Digital Equipment Corporation and later at Intel. Rosemary and Nick retired to The Villages in 2016 and spent summers in Maine.

Rosemary was known for her zest for life – dancing, kayaking, interior decorating, volunteering, traveling, and Spyder-riding, among many pursuits. In her retirement, Rosemary trained to become a professional clown; “RoRo” entertained many in nursing homes and parades. Rosemary was most happy cooking for and enjoying time with family and friends.

A memorial service will take place in the Mary Catherine Chapel at the Brasco & Son Memorial Funeral Home in Waltham, MA, on September 7 at 4 pm, with a celebration of her life next summer at Sebago Lake, ME. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to one of her favorite charities: Give Kids the World or Operation Smile.
