Rose Marie (DeBellis) Beleykanich

Rose Marie (DeBellis) Beleykanich, of Bethlehem, passed away peacefully on March 20, 2024, at the age of 95, in Saucon Valley Manor. Born on July 28, 1928, in Fountain Hill, she was a beacon of love and kindness throughout her life, touching the hearts of all who knew her.

Rose was the cherished wife of her beloved late husband, Edward Beleykanich, with whom she shared a life full of adventure and joy. Together, they explored the country in their motorhome, creating lasting memories, especially on their trips to Delaware. Her love for travel was only surpassed by the love she had for her family.

She was a graduate of Liberty High School and went on to become a skilled seamstress in Fountain Hill, a profession that showcased her meticulous attention to detail and her creative spirit.

She is survived by her loving sister, Bernadine Fernandes, and a host of adoring nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews. Rose was predeceased by her parents, Michael, and Anna (Voytko) DeBellis; her siblings, Anna DeBellis, Elizabeth Kotash, Eleanor Gawlik, and Michael DeBellis and her great niece, Jessica L. "Jessi" LaBarge.
