Anne Marie Marianne Cadet
Anne Marie Marianne Cadet, was born in Port au Prince on Sunday May 13th, 1934, to Elucie Thelusma and Eugene Cadet.
She entered a peaceful eternal rest on April 11th, 2024, at 89 years old.
Anne Marie’s life would appear short to many, but she truly lived a full and blessed life. Every one of us here today is feeling the lasting impact that she’s left in our hearts. May we fill that space with the grace that God has given us and the love that we have for each other.
Our grandma wore many hats, she was an entertainer, a charmer, a giver, a patient queen, a world-renowned chef, a loyal friend, a mediator, a doctor, a mother, a sister and most of all, THE BEST grandma.
She touched the lives of many with her kindness, grace, wisdom and unwavering love. When Anne Marie was not feeding an army, raising a village, she could be found worshiping and praying. Grandma took her relationship with God very seriously and when she prayed, she prayed with all her might for all those that she loved and those she lost.
Not a day went by that Grandma didn’t talk about her children or family. She considered them the greatest accomplishment of her life. Anne Marie is survived by her three daughters, Gladys Felix and her husband Daniel Felix, Marie Ange Pierre and Evelyn Blain. She will be deeply missed by her grandchildren, Betianne Polycarpe, Berenice Dallard and her husband Dawens Dallard, Belinda Polycarpe and Abigaelle Auguste. Her great-grandchildren Jocelyn Leong, Daniel Felix, Skyla Felix and Damien Dallard will carry on her legacy. Her last living sister, Ginette Leroy. Her cherished loved ones Florence Pierre & family, Carline Pierre & family, Bishop Sem Celestin & family, Chantal Bourdeau & family, Mireille Greggaire & family, Carmen Nelson and family, Cemelfort’s family, Blain’s family, and Leon’s family; Her nephews and nieces and many many loving families and friends.
Our family greatly appreciates everyone who’s made the effort to join us in sending Grandma off in love and light.
Grandma joins her sisters Elucienne Cadet and Marietta Cadet and grandchildren Stephanie Auguste and Dany Felix in the peaceful rest of God.
May you rest in peace and you will be deeply missed. We all love you Grandma!

On Tuesday, April 9th, 2024, Carlos Alberto Rosario Rodríguez, left us at 59 years of age in his city of residence in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Better known as Albert to his large, loving family, he was a beloved husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and grandfather. Born in Barceloneta, Puerto Rico to parents Isabel Rodriguez and Angel Rosario, Albert was known to be adventurous from an early age. After moving to Philadelphia at 14 years old, he became passionate about sports including boxing, running, and football. He trained at Joe Frasier’s gym and went onto grow his love of boxing, but in his own words was more of “a lover than a fighter.” He was a man of deep faith and loved the Lord Jesus Christ; spreading his word to all who would be open to taking God’s love in their heart. He went on to become a talented floral designer, loving father, and caring husband. Albert was known for his huge heart and sought the light, beauty, and grace of life in all he did. He was adored by all that truly knew him and would waste no time in making a joke out of any situation just to see everyone laugh. In his last years, he was training to be an elder at his church to further his influence and profession as God’s servant. His pastor said that Albert was “muy especial y servicial.” His kind soul will always be treasured and carried on through those whose lives he has touched and will continue to do so forever more. He is survived by his wife, Ada Rosario, daughters, Jadylee Ramos and her husband Alex Ramos, Dominique Rosario, and Charlene Benner and her husband Alex Benner, his parents Angel Rosario, Isabel Rodríguez and Wilfredo Rosario, by his brothers and sisters, Angel Rosario and his wife Evelyn Rosario, Carmen Rosario, Darling Rosario and his wife Yesenia Rosario, Alma Rosario, Francisco Rosario, and Jessica Rosario, along by his grandchildren Ianeli, Zavier, Zekiel, Zylas, Penelope, and many nephews and nieces. We will always love you! Rest in Peace and Power! All are invited to Carlos' viewing and funeral Friday April 19th at Holy Innocents Parish (1337 E. Hunting Park Ave. Phila., PA 19124) from 10:00am-11:00am. There will be a funeral mass at 11:00am. Burial to follow in Forest Hills Cemetery.
