Rose Marianna (Patalano) Mackin

Rose Marianna Mackin, of Lawrenceville, GA passed away peacefully on July 21st, 2024. Born on June 2, 1944, in New York City, Rose lived a life of devotion to Christ and her family.

Rose was a graduate of St. Vincent School of Nursing in Jacksonville Florida. She had a long career as a Registered Nurse and worked with Dr. Robert Marsh and Dr. Aaron Hupman. After moving from Miami Florida she became an active member of the Corpus Christi Catholic Church parish in Stone Mountain, GA. St. Lawrence Catholic Church would later become her home church of devotion after moving to Lawrenceville.

She was an active member of Stephen Ministries, St. Lawrence Widows Group, Women of the Word, St. Lawrence Prayer Ministry, Thursday Morning Bible Study, Perpetual Adoration, Women of Jerusalem Prayer Group, and the St. Pius Mother’s Bible Study.

She connected to community and friendship wherever she went including the BodyPlex gym where she found loving support.

Rose’s heart was open to everyone she met. She was a loving bridge between all types of people. Anyone who knew Rose had at least one thing in common. They were loved and appreciated by her.

She was preceded in death by her husband Earl Mackin Jr; her parents Vincent and Gladys Patalano; and her brothers James and Vinny Patalano.

Rose is survived by her loving children: Sean Mackin and Brian Mackin (Arlene); her Sister Rita Annese (Richard), and her granddaughters Seone Mackin and Remy Mackin. Rose’s prayers were a living part of her devotion. She may be missed but her prayers have found a new voice.
