She is also survived by her brother, Richard Perillo (Anna) of Wallingford. She is preceded in death by her parents and siblings, Joseph Perillo, Robert Perillo, Phyllis Nutile and Susan Iannotti. Rosalie had a passion for animals; nothing gave her more joy than being in their presence. She loved the holidays, spending time with her family, decorating and lighting up the tree. She enjoyed watching movies, especially with Julia Roberts, but her overall favorite was to watch horror movies. When she was younger, she would always take her kids to the beach. They would visit a different beach every day during their summer vacation.
