ROSE (DiNAPOLI) HURD

Rose A. (DiNapoli) Hurd, 80, of Syracuse NY, passed away Tuesday afternoon August 29, 2023 at Upstate University Hospital. Rose was born in Solvay on August 19, 1943, daughter of the late Domenico and Stella (Slusarski) DiNapoli. Rose graduated from Solvay High School where she met her husband Bob. She was a secretary and then worked to become a teaching assistant for OCM BOCES where she worked for 22 years. While working as a teaching assistant, she worked with the career and technical student organization known as SkillsUSA where she traveled and advised students enrolled in training programs in trade, technical and skilled service occupations. In retirement, she found that volunteering her time at St. Augustine’s Church was what she enjoyed where she became a member of the Prayer Shawl Committee. This committee crochets and knits prayer shawls, baby baptism blankets, preemie and cancer patient hats, scarves and mittens as well as hats for the homeless. Rose loved to cook. She carried on the traditional family recipes of her mother and other relatives. Her recipes will live on in her family. Her joy in life was camping at Fair Haven Beach State Park each summer for over 35 years. Her favorite was cabin camping and spending time with family and friends at the beach and around the campfire making s'mores and singing songs. Rose is survived by her husband, Robert W. Hurd, of Syracuse, whom she was married for 58 years; four children, Christopher (Dedra), of Baldwinsville, Jeffrey (Jill), of Syracuse, Brian (Kylie), of Sydney, Australia and Sharon (Justin) McArthur, of Phoenix, NY.; a sister, Elizabeth (Richard) Torrey, of Cranbury, NJ, a brother, Thomas (Joanne) DiNapoli, of Baldwinsville and a sister, Jeanette Buffone, of Seneca Falls, five grandchildren, several nieces and nephews. Family and friends may call from 4:00 PM-7:00 PM Monday September 4, 2023 at BAGOZZI TWINS FUNERAL HOME, 2601 Milton Avenue. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated 9:30 AM Tuesday September 5, 2023 at St. Marianne Cope Parish-St. Cecilia Church, 1001 Woods Rd, Solvay. Rose will be laid to rest in White Chapel Memory Gardens, DeWitt. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to St. Augustine’s Church, Baldwinsville.
