Rosemary Elizabeth Tedesco of Acworth Georgia, passed away suddenly on November 27, 2025, at the age of 85 years old. Born in Newark, New Jersey and born to Robert Scott and Rosemary Kaiser of Union, New Jersey.

Rosemary was a beloved wife of 63 years to Michael Tedesco Jr., mother to Michael Tedesco III, Deborah Zotte, Rosemary Kendall & Robert Tedesco. Mother in-law to Kim Elias, Anthony Zotte, Mark Kendall and Tania Tedesco.  Sister to Roberta Melchione and Robert Scott. She was a loving grandmother to 8 grandchildren, Anthony, Kristen, Amanda, Bianca, Dalton, Madisyn, Amelia and Isabella, a role she cherished more than anything in her life.

She attained Great Grandmother status to Phoenix, Gabriella, Lyla and Anthony.  Rosemary was pre-deceased by her parents, stepmother Margaret Scott, husband, brother Jack Scott and grandson Anthony Michael Zotte.

She loved hosting family gatherings at her beach house or by the pool, filling those days with laughter, good food, and the warmth of togetherness. She found happiness in the simple things—keeping her home, caring for her grandchildren, and loving any baby who crossed her path.

A breast cancer survivor, she faced her battle with strength and grace, overcoming it and continuing to live many laughter-filled years thereafter. Her spirit was strong and, at times, a little spicy, keeping her family on their toes and making her presence unforgettable.

After her retirement from Unisys, she was known for her love of cooking and baking, and few could rival her famous Italian gravy or her delicious cinnamon rolls. Many will remember her generosity, often expressed through a tin filled with her homemade treats, given with love.
