Our beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, Rosemarie Conlon, died on October 1, 2025. She turned 100 years old on May 22nd, 2025, and in May of this year celebrated that achievement and her remarkable life at a 100th birthday party with 60+ family and friends.

Rosemarie was the heart and soul of our family and will be sorely missed by all who knew her. She was predeceased by her husband of 35 years, James Conlon, her parents David and Martha Schneider, a sister Jean (deceased husband Perry) Goldman and a brother Victor (surviving wife Jo-Anne) Schneider. She is survived by her brother Steven (wife Glenda) Schneider.

Together with her husband, they raised their five children in a happy and loving home to be independent and thoughtful adults. Their children and families that remember her with love are as follows: Linda (deceased husband Raymond) Chiras with 3 daughters Jessica (fiance Keith), Jacqueline (partner Chris), and Lauren; Gary (wife Robin) Conlon with 2 sons Scott (partner Amy and daughter Devin) and Jason (wife Nicole and 3 children Cayden, Addison, Ryan); Alan (wife Tara) Conlon with 3 sons Shaun (wife Katherine and 2 sons Henry, George), Joshua (wife Katie and 3 children Max, Naomi, Logan), Matthew (wife Rachel and 3 children Brynn, Jonah, Gavin); Brian (partner Betsy) Conlon with daughter Christina; Benjamin (wife Laurie) Conlon with 3 children Christopher, Nicholas, Brittany (partner Brian). Rosemarie was also an aunt and is survived by many nieces and nephews and their families.

Rosemarie was born in New York City, moved to the Albany area with her family early in her childhood and graduated from Philip Schuyler High School. Prior to her marriage, Rosemarie proudly served as a WAC during WWII. Later in life she very much enjoyed a trip to see the WWII Memorial in Washington, DC with other veterans. Over her years of life, she worked in several types of jobs involving accounting and bookkeeping including for the State of NY, H & R Block, and at Niskayuna Family Practice for many years. She also worked as a volunteer for many years at the Albany Airport. After her husband's death she lived at the Beltrone Living Center (55+ housing) for 20 years. For the last 5 years she has resided at The Massry Assisted Living Residence, where her cheerful presence will be greatly missed.

Nothing was too good for her children or precious grandchildren. When great grandchildren arrived, Rosemarie's huge heart and warm smile welcomed them. Rosemarie would have wanted us to celebrate her life, not mourn our loss. Out of respect and love, we honor that request, despite the deep hole her loss has left in our hearts. Rosemarie, your life is to be celebrated. Look down on us to see what your incredible love has created. Visiting hours Sunday, October 5th from 12-2, Daly's Funeral Home, 242 McClelland St. Schenectady, NY followed by a short service and remembrances. Burial with a short service will take place on Monday, October 6th at 10am at Memory Gardens Cemetery, 983 Watervliet-Shaker Rd., Albany, NY. In lieu of flowers donations to the Alzheimer's Association are appreciated.
