Julia Rossi Obituary, Death – Julia Lee Rossi passed away at Hamilton’s Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital on Monday, November 14, 2022. Julia lived her entire life and was born in Hamilton, New Jersey. She obtained letters in three sports—basketball, soccer, and lacrosse—and graduated from Notre Dame High School, where she also won the National Honor Society Award. She was a student at Our Lady of Sorrows Grammar. Having received numerous academic and athletic distinctions, Julia graduated this year from West Chester University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology.
She played defensively for the Division 2 Women’s Lacrosse Team for four years, helping her team to several victories with her passing and blocking skills. Her coaches, teammates, and the crowd, who frequently chanted “Rossi” throughout Julia’s matches, all admired her. She was a gifted independent artist as well as a fantastic musician who could play many different instruments. She also created t-shirts for her organization and other companies. Julia loved all animals, especially her dog Remi. She was smart and funny, and she loved the outdoors and skiing.
Julia had an exhilarating and crazy existence. She was fiercely devoted to her family, referring to them as her “Rock.” She cherished spending time with her family at Sunday dinners and on annual trips to Disney and Wildwood. Her favorite holiday activities included riding bikes with her parents, going shopping with her grandmother, watching the sunrise with her grandfather, taking long walks, and dancing with her sisters. Julia had an easygoing disposition and a kind, giving heart. Everyone she knew adored her because she was so kind, gracious, and understanding.
She gave a lot without expecting anything in return, unaware of the impact she was having on everyone. Since Julia was a devoted daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin, and best friend, everyone wishes they had a friend like her. Everyone who had the honor of knowing her will miss her dearly. Julia is survived by her parents, Maurice and Anna (DeLusio) Rossi, as well as her two sisters, Lianna Rossi, and fiance Shane Plunkett and Olivia Rossi. She is also survived by her paternal grandparents, Maurice and Anna (DeLusio) Rossi, an uncle, John Rossi, two aunts, Cynthia Rossi and fiance Art Landolfi and Carolyn Staub, and a sizable number of cousins.
