Zenovia "Sandy" Rosado

Zenovia “Sandy” Rosado, 84, of New Britain, Connecticut, entered into the gates of heaven on Wednesday, June 3, 2020. Born on June 23, 1935 in San Germán, Puerto Rico, daughter of Ezequiel and Benigna Santana-Miranda. Zenovia moved to Connecticut at the age of 18 and was employed for several years at New Britain Machine. She was a member of Saint Mary’s Roman Catholic Church.

She is survived by her husband of sixty years, Pedro Rosado, her loving brother and sister, Generoso and Asuncion Miranda, four children, Pedro “Papo” Jr., Lucy, James and Cesar Rosado. Zenovia was blessed with eleven grandchildren: Bryant, Jessica, Miguel, Cesar Jr., Diana, Alex, Candice, Alexander, Danielle, Gisselle, and Gaby and twenty-two great-grandchildren.

Zenovia was a loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, and aunt to many.

She approached life with a positive and gentle touch, always willing to welcome those into her home. With an open heart and pantry, she always took care in buying everyone’s favorite snacks and meals. You couldn’t be in her house more than five minutes without her asking, “Are you hungry?” and before you responded she was already cooking. When she was done, if you dared say, “I’m not hungry” she would quickly reply, “You gunna to eat it or you gunna wear it”.

Humility is defined as gentle and authentic. Being humble means recognizing that we are not on earth to see how important we can become, but to see how much difference we can make in the lives of others. These are the values and virtues she bestowed upon everyone she came across. As she leaves behind generations of family, she will surely be missed and while the loss of her physical presence will be felt she will forever live within our souls.

As we gather to honor her, please join us in celebrating her life Tuesday morning, June 9 ^th at Erickson- Hansen Funeral Home, 411 South Main Street in New Britain between the hours of 10 AM – 12 noon. Burial following at Fairview Cemetery.

For the safety of all we ask to please wear masks and practice social distancing as much as possible.

Lovingly, the Rosado Family
