November 27, 2020

Rosalyn D. Warren, 96, of Lancaster, passed away peacefully at Hospice & Community Care, Mt. Joy, Friday, November 27, 2020. Born in Coatesville, she was the daughter of the late Domenic and Rose (Pitcherella) DeLoretta. She was the loving wife of the late Arthur D. Warren, Jr., who preceded her in death in 1999.

A devout Catholic, Rosalyn spent her life surrounded by family, and she loved her family deeply. She was also a very strong and independent woman. Rosalyn worked at a textile mill and was proud of operating multiple looms at once even though she was petite. In later years, she worked as a secretary in the transportation industry, where she met her husband.

Rosalyn crocheted beautiful afghans as special gifts for her family members. She enjoyed knitting and sewing and spent her free time reading. Rosalyn also loved to cook and bake Italian sweets; biscotti and pizzelles were her specialties. She cherished the many travels she had with her husband.

Rosalyn will be greatly missed by her loving son, Ronald M. Cozzone, of Lancaster; her grandchildren: Elisabeth A. Christmas, wife of Donald G. Braun, of Lancaster; Christopher D. Cozzone, husband of Ana, of Lancaster (currently in the Philippines); Amy Christmas Halteman, of Lancaster; and Nicholas A. Cozzone, husband of Brenda, of Landisville; her great-grandchildren: Elisa and Rosalina; her daughter-in-law, Donna E. Cozzone, of Lancaster; and her sister-in-law, Eileen “Beck” Ashworth, wife of Donald, of Lancaster. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews. Rosalyn was preceded in death by her daughter, Dolores Christmas and her siblings: Dolores DeLoretta, Marie DiYenna, Anna Ficca, and Michael DeLoretta.
