Rosita Antonicelli, 80, passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 1, 2026.

Rosita was born on July 4, 1946, in Bicol, Philippines, to the late Pio and Theodora Taroy. She would marry her husband, Stephen Antonicelli, with whom she spent fifty-four wonderful years.

Rosita was always a people person. She was at her happiest when she could be with her family and friends and seized every opportunity to gather them together.

Rosita’s legacy is one of vibrancy, selflessness, and devotion to those around her. She loved life, always found ways to help people, and was dedicated to making each moment special.

In addition to her parents, Rosita was preceded by her brother, Marino Taroy.

Her memory will forever be treasured by her daughter, Michelle Daquinag; her grandchildren, Darren, Milo, and Justin Daquinag; and a host of friends whose lives were touched by Rosita’s heart.
