Rosann F. Reeder

July 15, 2024

Beloved wife of James M. Reeder, loving mother of Emily Bowman Reeder and Jamie Bowman Reeder, loving sister of Marianne (Faiola) Power. Rosann was born in Hartford, Connecticut to Rose Faiola and Armando Faiola. She grew up in New Britain, Connecticut.

In 1968 she came to Pennsylvania to attend college and met her future husband, James M. Reeder. They married in 1970. The couple lived briefly in Florida before moving to Connecticut where daughter Emily Bowman Reeder was born. The family then moved to Pennsylvania in 1974, and to Lancaster in 1977, where daughter Jamie Bowman Reeder was born.

Rosann worked for years in the food industry as a pastry chef and later in life worked as a volunteer with domestic violence victims.

Rosann was an accomplished and prolific knitter and a sophisticated traveler, whether to New York City, or on one of her frequent trips to Italy where she explored her Italian heritage.

Rosann lived in her kitchen where all were welcome to enjoy her delicious food and her laughing company. Rosann loved spending time with family, including nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews.

Loved by all and accepting of all, she made no enemies in life. She will be deeply missed by her family and her friends.

Friends are invited to attend a brief Memorial Service on Tuesday, July 23, 2024 at 6PM at the Charles F. Snyder Jr Funeral Home & Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA. Rosann’s family will received friends following the service at the funeral home.
