Jean DelGrosso "Nee Mosia", a resident of Pelham, passed away at her home on Sunday, October 11, 2020. She was 92 years old. Jean was born on January 14, 1928 in the Bronx to the late Anthony Mosia and Mary Salzarulo. She married the love of her life, Rocco DelGrosso, on April 14, 1951, at St. Anthony's Church in the Bronx.

Jean enjoyed traveling and spending winters at her home in Palm Beach, FL. She cherished her annual "Sisters are Special" trips, hosting large holiday dinners and barbecues.
