Sayreville
Rose Marie Dentz, age 89, of Sayreville peacefully passed away at her daughter’s home in Maine on Thursday, November 18, 2021, surrounded by her loving family.

She will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
Rose is predeceased by her beloved husband of 56 years John Dentz, and her siblings John and Florita. Surviving are her loving children and their spouses Diane and Russell Wheeler of ME, and Timothy and Mary Lee Dentz of PA; her 2 grandchildren Emily and husband Cory Charpentier of ME, and Brian Dentz of PA; her 3 dear great-grandchildren Hailey, Ariana, and Brian, Jr; her special cousin Betty Jelonek; godchildren Nancy Montefusco and Lawrence Doney; nieces Nancy and Karen; as well as many cousins and dear friends.
