Obituary of Rose Marie Dwyer

Rose Marie Costa Dwyer, age 69, beloved wife of Joseph Dwyer of Shelton, passed away suddenly on May 6, 2016 at Bridgeport Hospital. Born in Bridgeport on August 26, 1946, she was a daughter of the late Joseph and Jennie Varvella Costa. Before her retirement, Rose Marie was the admissions director at Watermark at 3030 Park. Raised in Bridgeport, CT, Rose expressed her kindness and warmth in every stage of her life. Starting with her volunteer work at the Sheehan Center, Rose dedicated her heart to helping others by working in the medical field for over 35 years. Past accomplishments included working in the ER, running a women’s clinic and working at DaVita Bridgeport Dialysis. Her “second hometown” of Monroe Connecticut was home to her second career- she opened and ran “Rosie’s Deli” for several years before returning back to her medical profession. She adored her friends from Bridgeport, CT- especially her friends from Central High School. Rose ran the reunions for her class and always made the effort to keep in touch with the people she loved dearly. In addition to her husband Joseph of 48 years, survivors include two loving children, Kevin and Corey Dwyer and her two grandchildren, Kayla and Colin Dwyer. Survivors also included are brother Joseph Costa, sister MaryAnn Brescia and daughter- in- law Laura Dwyer. She built a beautiful marriage with her husband Joseph for 48 years. They raised two children that appreciated them every day. We will miss you so much.
