OBITUARY
Rosemarie Ziminski
10/11/1935 – 11/25/2025
Rosemarie Catherine Ziminski (nee Gilmore), age 90, of North Merrick, passed away on Tuesday evening, November 25, 2025, at her home surrounded by her loving family. She was born on October 11, 1935, in Lindenhurst, New York, daughter of Elizabeth Gilmore (nee Devaney) and James Gilmore.
It is impossible to summarize Rosie’s life in a few words, and her family is heartbroken by her passing. She was a devoted wife and mother who put her family before all else. Her health challenges in her later years were significant, but she accepted them with the quiet resolve, grace and practicality for which she was known. She will be remembered for her kindness, her keen sense of humor, her limitless ability to care about others, her skill at hunting down bargains and her love of family. Her pride in the accomplishments of her children and grandchildren was immeasurable. She did not let a day go by without letting those she was closest to know that they were loved. The world will be a different place without her in it. Her family takes comfort in believing that those we love and lose are always connected by heartstrings into infinity.
Rosemarie is survived in death by her husband of 64 years, Robert Ziminski, her five children: Robert Ziminski and daughter-in-law Allison, Suzanne Casalino and son-in law John, Patricia DeLisa and son-in-law Thomas, Donald Ziminski, and Jerilyn Hinphy and late son-in-law Michael, and her eight grandsons, John-Zachary Casalino (Anisa), Robert Ziminski, Gregory Casalino, Evan Hinphy, Thomas Ziminski, Ryan Hinphy (Mikayla), Kevin Ziminski, and 2nd Lt. Liam Hinphy. She also leaves many other family members and friends who will sadly miss her.
Rosemarie is reunited in death with her beloved parents, Elizabeth and James Gilmore, her brothers, James Gilmore (Joan), Hugh Gilmore (Marie) and her sister, Margaret Dickey (Robert).
