Rose Marie

Buckley

Rose passed away peacefully on Thursday Feb. 20 ^th at Wingate of Silver Lake in Kingston where she had been receiving supportive care for the past several months.  She was 81 years of age.  She was a beloved daughter of the late Michael A. Domenichello, Sr. and Marie (Courtney) Spadafora-Domenichello.  Rose was raised in Chelsea and attended local Schools.  She was married to Gerald W. "Gerry" Buckley and together raised their family in Chelsea.  She was widowed in 2014 after sharing 55 years of love and devotion with her husband.  A devoted firefighter's wife and mother, she also worked outside of her home as a saleslady at Allen's Cut-Rate Store in Chelsea for many years and was beloved by all the Chelsea residents she had the pleasure to service.  In her lifetime Rose was most happy with spending time with her children, grandchildren and her new great-grand child Wyatt.  Rose was an avid reader having been a member of the Chelsea Public Library reading club and enjoyed crafting ceramics for all members of her family.  Rose loved to travel to Disney World with her sister Ellen and her husband Paul many times over.  Rose was asked recently who she missed the most.  Without hesitation she said it was her mother-in-law Marie Buckley who lived next door to her and her husband Gerald for almost 40 years. They became the best of friends.  Over the years Rose had to overcome many medical conditions. She was a role model to all of us who saw the constant smile on her face and how she continued to live her life in spite of all the hurdles she faced.  A resident of Chelsea from birth, Rose moved to Duxbury just two years ago living with her son Kevin and daughter-in-law Elaine.  In addition to her beloved husband Gerry and her parents, Rose was also predeceased by her sister Mary DeCristoforo.  She is survived by her devoted son and caregiver Kevin Buckley and his wife Elaine of Duxbury and her loving daughter Laurie Buckley of Chelsea.  She was the cherished grandmother of Patrick Buckley, Colin Buckley, Courtney Monzione, Caroline Buckley and adoring great-grandmother of Wyatt Buckley.  Dear sister of Ellen Russell and Michael Domenichello, Jr. both of Chelsea.  She is also survived by several loving nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews and many extended family members.
