Rose L. Scoma, 90

Rose L. Scoma, 90, died in her Lancaster home on Wednesday, November 14, 2012. She was born, raised and lived in Brooklyn, NY, before moving with her family to Lancaster in 1970. She was a member of St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church.

Rosie was married for 56 years to James "Chic" Scoma, who died in 2001. A homemaker, Rose was devoted to her family and friends, but she would never turn down the opportunity to try her luck at Atlantic City or to visit with Mickey Mouse at his home in Orlando.

Surviving are three daughters: her caregiver with whom she resided, Arleen R., widow of Bruce T. Monteleone; Janice A. of Mountville, widow of Dennis Reick; Jeanette M. Holtry, Landisville, companion of Robert Overly; and three grandchildren: Jill M, wife of Jason Skiles, George Reick, companion of Tara Ann Carter, and Jessica Reick. She is also survived by two great-grandsons and several nieces and nephews. Rose was preceded in death by her son James R. Scoma, one sister and four brothers.
