Roslyn Grove Puzio
ROSLYN GROVE PUZIO
Roslyn Grove Puzio, 79, of Sun City Center, FL, formerly of Goshen, NY, passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 21, 2016 surrounded by family at South Bay Hospital in Sun City Center, FL. She was known to most as “Roz”, adored by her husband as “Cupcake”, “Buttercup”, and “Coach” and her grandchildren called her “Grandma Puz.”
Roslyn was born March 12, 1937 in Montreal, Canada. She was the daughter of Arthur Grove Forman and Isabel (Dickinson) Forman, both first generation immigrants from England who predeceased her. Roslyn graduated from Sir George Williams University in Montreal with a degree in Business Management. In 1969 she was working for Domtar when she met Ted Puzio, who was also working in Montreal at that time on a temporary assignment from NJ. In 1970, Roslyn and Ted married, and Ted’s new assignment moved them to the United States. They built a home in Goshen, NY and spent 25+ wonderful years there raising their family. They had five daughters: Susan, Janet, Linda, and the twins — Natalie and Thaddea.
Roslyn was a homemaker, including lunchroom monitor at St. John’s Elementary, and she had a successful career working for various Home Party Planners. Her ability to lead and motivate others, set goals, be organized, and have fun were the perfect combination for success. The pinnacle of her career was with House of Lloyd where she was named #1 Supervisor out of 1,200 nationwide. She earned many travel awards, and Roz and Ted were able to travel the world courtesy of House of Lloyd. Over a span of 15 years they traveled to: Africa on safari, Alaska, China, Greece, Hawaii, Japan, and other locations. They even brought their daughters on a few of the trips.
Roz was loving, generous, compassionate, creative, and a real doer. She loved to work in the vegetable garden, plant flowers, sew, do crafts, help a friend in need, host large family gatherings, and simply spend time with family, including annual summer vacations to the beach and annual trips back to Canada to visit her parents. She loved board games and was one heck of a card player, and all the grandchildren loved to challenge her to a game of Cribbage, Sequence, or Scrabble.
In 1998 Roz and Ted retired to Sun City Center, FL. Roz was actively involved in many clubs including the British Connection, Computer Club, Dog Owner’s Club, Polish Heritage Club (with her Polish hubby), Red Hat Society, Travel Club, and the Woman’s Club. Roz also volunteered for Sun City Center Security Patrol and Sun City Center Ride. In 2001 she became a U.S. citizen.
Roslyn is survived by her loving husband of 45 years Thaddeus (Ted) J. Puzio; five daughters: Susan Bossley and her husband Rick of Montgomery, NY; Janet Yavener and her husband Bernie of Buffalo, NY; Linda Prinzi and her husband Frank of Lake View, NY; Natalie Corcimiglia and her husband Tom of Wayne, PA; and Thaddea Dreyer of Wayne, PA; 11 grandchildren: Laura, Elizabeth, Alyssa, Jeremy, Ryan, Madison, Christopher, Clay, Nathan, Sky, and Isabel; four great-grandchildren: Christopher (CJ), Bella, Declan, and Clark; and her brother Kenneth Forman and his wife Joan of Montreal, Canada. All will miss her greatly. She is also survived by her sweet dog O’Dee who was her favorite furry companion.
