Rose “Rosie” Lucenti, 91, of Bristol, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Friday, Nov. 3. She was born on Nov. 10, 1931, in Kensington, daughter of the late Antonio and Anna (Pavano) Amenta. Rose was the loving wife of the late Dominick Lucenti, Sr. for 62 years before his passing in 2012. She enjoyed a long career in cosmetology where she owned her own shop called “Beauty by Rose” in Forestville and then continued her career in cosmetology education.
Rose (Rosie) will be most remembered for her Sunday Italian dinners bringing family and friends together in her home and making everyone feel welcomed. Her devotion to family was well known as she lived every day for them. She enjoyed spoiling her grandchildren and great grandchildren with love and affection, as she was the foundation of the family. Anyone who walked through her door experienced her generosity and caring nature and she will be forever loved.
Rose is survived by her daughter Linda Tyler and her husband Scott; sons Joseph Lucenti and Paulette, Dominick Lucenti, Jr. and Cynthia, Paul Lucenti and Kim Damboise; 12 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.
Besides her husband and parents, Rose is predeceased by her brothers Sebastian, Joseph and Paul Amenta and sisters Connie Cappello, Josephine Bober, Doris Camden and Angelina Gianinni.

All TBE readers, supporters and donors
The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.
- Non-members will be able to access four (4) articles per week.
- Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) articles per week.
- Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.
Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
