Rosemarie Socha
May 19, 1937 ~ April 14, 2023
Born in:
Oceanside, New York
Resided in:
Lilburn, Georgia
Rosemarie (Rose) Socha, 85, of Lilburn, GA, formerly of New York, passed away Friday, April 14, 2023. She was preceded in death by her adoring husband of 45 years, Joseph (Joe) Socha; parents, Joseph and Angie Corda; sister, Anita DeSimone, and brother, Joseph Corda.
Rose and her husband, Joe, moved to Georgia in 1980, with their triplet boys, Joseph, Michael, and Richard, where they established their new home.
The essence of Rose can be captured in two words, family and home. She had many gifts that made her one-of-a-kind, the most notable was her role as the matriarch. Rose’s dedication to her loved ones was unmatched. She was a devoted wife and an attentive mother and grandmother who, by all accounts, was the centerpiece of family life. Her home was a place where the door was always open, love abounded, and all who entered were welcomed with open arms. Countless gatherings, celebrations and holidays took place at her home over the years, and Rose was the consummate hostess.
On most days, Rose could be found in her kitchen where her passion for cooking and baking came to life. Her self-taught culinary skills meant she always had on hand a delicious meal or dessert to enjoy. Rose took immense pride in making food from scratch—cream puffs and manicotti were top-tier favorites.
Social in nature and a great conversationalist, Rose forged close bonds with her family, friends, and neighbors, and rarely missed a chance to be in the company of others. This included church activities at St. Stephen the Martyr Catholic Church, where she was an active and supportive member, as well as get-togethers with her JuicePlus+ community, people with whom she shared likeminded ideas on nutrition and health.
Those left to cherish her memory are her sons and daughter-in-law, Joseph & Tara Socha of New Hyde Park, New York, Michael Socha, Richard Socha, of Lilburn, GA; grandchildren, Delaney Socha, Emma Socha, of Atlanta, GA, Danny Socha, Tommy Socha, of New Hyde Park, New York; numerous nieces and nephews; and countless friends.
A Funeral Mass for Rose will be held Wednesday, April 19, 2023, 11:00 A.M., at St. Stephen the Martyr Catholic Church, 5373 Wydella Road SW, in Lilburn, with FR Brian Lorei officiating. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made to unbound.org, or shriners.org.

We were fortune to be the recipient of her baking talents after the 8:30 Mass at St. Stephen’s. We felt that cooking and baking was her passion that she loved to share with everyone.
Rest In Peace Mama Rose.
Rose was one of the first persons to welcome me to St. Stephens, we hit it off right away! Rose, I will always be your friend…until we meet again. Love you Rose.

To have one true friend is lucky. To have a friend like Rose was a blessing! I was lucky to have you as a friend all these years. Thank you for your delicious food and fun shopping. I admired your energy and wisdom. You will be missed. Rest in peace my friend.
My first connection with Rose was at various Juice Plus+ functions. She would always come up and speak to me even though I only knew her by sight. On one Good Friday, as we were walking out of church and chatting, I invited her over to come and get some Kangen water and that was the start of our long relationship. We shopped together, discussed health, talked about cooking healthy, etc. She loved cooking and often shared her soups, etc. You will be so missed Rose! May God grant you eternal rest.
