Roseann Ricupero Lubold, age 92, of Indiana, PA passed away peacefully on April 1, 2022 at her home.
The daughter of the late Tony and Emma Novosel Ricupero, she was born March 8, 1930 in Indiana, PA. Roseann was a 1948 graduate of Indiana Area High School and studied Food Service at Carnegie Mellon University. A traditional housewife and mother of ten children, she was an active member of the Indiana Garden Club, District Chairman of March of Dimes, and a member of the Junior Women’s Civic Club and IRMC Auxiliary.
Roseann began her career of cooking for others at her parents’ banquet facility, Rustic Lodge, in Indiana. In 1985 she saw the need for a business that would cater to single and working parents, the elderly, and those in need of prepared foods made from scratch. She opened Roseann’s Everyday Gourmet, which continues to be successful to this day with the help of several of her children.
Roseann was preceded in death by her parents, Tony and Emma Ricupero, a brother, Joseph P. Ricupero, who died in a plane accident at the Jimmy Stewart Airport in 1959, great granddaughter Juliet Grace Smith, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Surviving are her ten children, Becky Lubold; Patty Pequignot and husband Bill; Lindy Murone and husband Dave; Cindy Duffalo and Tim Johnston; Carrie Bloomquist; Tammy Setlock and husband Ken; Laurie Lubold; Emma Sullivan and husband James; Richard Lubold, Jr. and wife Vickie; and Joseph Lubold and wife Tina. Also surviving are twenty grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.
