Jerry T. Rossi, 76, of West Warwick, formerly of Coventry, was able to spend his last week surrounded by his loving wife Marie and family, in his childhood home, now owned by his daughter Lysa and husband Tom. He passed early morning of January 1, 2025 peacefully with his daughter by his side. He was the beloved husband of Marie A. (Ferreira) Rossi, with whom he shared 57 beautiful years of marriage.
Born in Providence to the late Gennaro J. “Jerry” and Rita M. (Beron) Rossi, Jerry spent much of his life in Coventry before settling in West Warwick. He dedicated 22 years to Amtrol, Inc., retiring as a respected supervisor in 1990. A proud Vietnam War Army Veteran, Jerry was also a gifted musician, singer and songwriter, renowned for his talent as an Elvis Presley Tribute Artist.
Besides his loving wife Marie, Jerry leaves behind his siblings, Delia Mailloux and Richard Rossi and his legacy lives on through his devoted daughter, Lysa O’Donnell, and her husband, Tom, of West Warwick; and his cherished grandchildren, Zachary, Abigale, Sophia, and Madison. He was also blessed with a great-grandson, Xavier, who brought him immense joy.
