Leonie Roselli

Leonie "Lee" Roselli (nee Egan), age 93, passed away peacefully at her residence in West Chester, PA on June 6, 2025. Born in Philadelphia, PA, she was the daughter of the late Martin and May Egan (nee Strang).

Lee, most notably known as ‘Gran,’ devoted herself to her family, raising her children and grandchildren with unconditional love. Both inside and outside of the family, to know people was not enough; Lee sought to truly understand everyone she encountered, meeting people with the warmest embrace and undoubtedly creating a sense of familiarity and belonging. It is because of Gran that we know such a depth of love and care, and that we carry out her search to see the good in both people and the world.

Lee was the beloved wife of the late John Roselli; loving mother of Michael Crosson (Mary Jane), Patricia Dougherty, John Roselli (Lisa), Cheryl McCullough (Matthew), and the late James Crosson; adoring grandmother of Stacy Gallo (Joe), Michael Crosson, Jason Crosson, Gregory Dougherty, Megan Oister (Ken), Steven Roselli (Sierra), Matthew Roselli (Anna), Kevin Roselli, Jessica McCullough, and Matthew McCullough, and great-grandmother of Ellie, Gina, Jada, Jared, Karlee, Brayden, Mackenzie, and Gemma. Lee was one of 10 children and she now joins her 9 siblings in eternal rest.

Services and Interment are Private.
