Roslyn Marie Bolcato, who was called home to heaven on Sunday October 20th, 2024 was an outstanding and loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, daughter and friend. She was born to Rose (nee Fucetola) and Pasqaule Fieramoscia on December 4th 1936 in Newark, New Jersey. Upon graduation from Girls Vocational, Roslyn worked as a beautician for many years at Bloomfield Hairdressers. Later on, Roslyn, along with her husband, became entrepreneurs and opened Tony’s Deli in Bloomfield where she spent many years serving the neighborhood and making lifelong friends. In October of 1989, Roslyn began working for the Township of Glen Ridge where she worked for 23 years, holding multiple positions of importance along the way. She ultimately retired as the administrative assistant to Chief Byron-Lagittuda.

Roslyn organized a toy drive for Toys for Tots which was then named in her honor, the Roslyn Bolcato Toy Drive in Glen Ridge. Roslyn and Anthony purchased their beloved home in Glen Ridge 58 years ago. She was very much a homemaker and took great pride in her home and loved her community greatly.

Roslyn was amazing in so many ways and loved by so many. She married Anthony Bolcato in February of 1961 which was just the beginning of their many adventures. The first Christmas the couple was married they began the tradition of donating to Toys for Tots. In 1963 Roslyn’s only child, Rosanne Bolcato- Reddie, was born which the couple could not be happier about.
