Rose Czarny

Rose Czarny (nee Lupo), Mount Pleasant, passed away peacefully on July 3 at the age of 88 at the Vitas Ruth Hospice House following a battle with cancer and COPD. Born in Chicago, the middle child of Mike and Rose (Pecoraro) Lupo’s 11 children, Rose was a loving wife to Alfred for just a few months short of 60 years. Together, they had four children and resided in Burlington for many years before moving to Racine and finally Mount Pleasant. Rose enjoyed being a homemaker, taking great pride in baking and keeping her home neat and tidy. She loved spending time with her children, grandchildren and great grandson. Rose was a diehard devoted Cubs fan and was a passionate reader throughout her life. She was an avid fan of the Young and the Restless, watching the soap for 45+ years!

Rose is survived by her children, Karen, John and Ken; along with grandchildren Ryan (Brittany) and Rachel Czarny; great grandson Luke and brother James Lupo, sisters Dorothy Daley and Ann Louise Svihula; along with in-laws Providence Lupo, William (Evelyn) Czarny and Rudy (Marcia) Czarny and many nieces and nephews. She was proceeded in death by her parents, husband Alfred, devoted son Richard, special daughter Jolly Waukau and brothers Sam, Casimer, Michael, and Charles Lupo and sisters Frances Occhipinti, Mary Slowik and Daisy Martino along with her in-laws John and Anna Czarny, Edmond (Eileen) Czarny and other extended family members.
