Born Oct. 15, 1939, in Naples, Italy, she was the daughter of the late Pasquale and Teresa Liguori Lanzetta. A resident of Belle Vernon for over 50 years, Mrs. Borriello was a member of St. Sebastian Roman Catholic Church. Rosetta moved to the United States when she was 23 upon her marriage to her beloved husband, Carlo. For more than 60 years she created a wonderful home for her family while also helping her husband build several successful businesses. She loved to dance, travel and sip espresso on the beach. She was an outstanding cook, and enjoyed entertaining her family and friends. Family was first, but Saturday nights were always reserved for dinner and dancing.
