Frank Rossi

Frank Rossi, 93, of New Cumberland, PA, passed away at his residence, with family by his side, on Monday, June 30, 2025. The youngest of five children, he was born in Dearborn, MI, on October 11, 1931, to the late Giovanni and Angelina Rossi.

Frank grew up in Michigan and went on to serve in the U.S. Army before beginning a family with his late wife, Elena. Together, they created a loving, faith-centered home and set a beautiful example for their five children in all facets of life. Frank became a self-employed barber, opening shops in the Shenango Valley, with locations in both Sharpsville and Sharon, PA. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, but nothing brought him joy like watching his family grow.

Frank was a faith-filled husband, father and provider for his family, and religiously attended mass. He was in love with God and the Holy Spirit, and he was a devoted follower of the Blessed Mother.

Surviving Frank are his children, Dr. John Anthony Rossi (wife, Brenda) of New Cumberland, Frank Joseph Rossi (wife, Cathy) of Poquoson, VA, Martin Paul Rossi (wife, Rosanne) of Hollywood, FL, Joseph Anthony Rossi (wife, Margaret) of Perry, GA, and Michael Dominic Rossi (wife, Stephanie) of New Prague, MN; eighteen grandchildren; fifty-one great grandchildren; a sister, Jenny Dettore; and a large extended family. In addition to his parents, Frank was preceded in death by his loving wife of 68 years, Elena A. Rossi (d. 2023).
