In Loving Memory of Roberta Kosiorowski
Roberta Kosiorowski, a woman of profound strength, unwavering faith, and boundless love for her family, passed away peacefully on April 16,2026.
A loving family woman above all else, Roberta’s life revolved around those she held dear. She was the cornerstone of her family, always leading with a selfless heart and consistently putting the needs of her loved ones above her own. Her legacy of devotion lives on through her daughters, Suzanne Saccone and Nicole Medina. She is also survived by her former husband and dear friend, James Pigeon with whom she maintained a close and meaningful bond throughout her life.
She was the cherished grandmother of Amanda Cox, Alexa Kopiske, Ashton Scarimbolo, Ariana Saccone, Justin Purnell, and Leo Medina. Her joy further multiplied with her great-grandchildren: Madison Kopiske, Riley Kopiske, James Cox, Wesley Cox, Aydalen Purnell, and Lily Scarimbolo.
Roberta was known not only for her heart at home but also for her incredible work ethic. She was a dedicated and loyal Medicaid Manager of the Parker Jewish Institute, where her commitment and reliability were evident to all who worked alongside her for many years.
Her spiritual life was the compass that guided her every step. A fixture at St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church, Roberta was deeply involved in the life of the parish. She was passionate about preserving and continuing generational faith within the Catholic Church, serving as a CCD teacher for over 30 years. By teaching religion to students of all ages, she ensured that the traditions and teachings she held sacred would be carried forward by the next generation.
