Rosarina is survived by her daughter Rosa (Lee Goldfine) and son Anthony, in addition to her grandchildren Alicia Goldfine (Dan Ibeling), Daniel Goldfine (fiance Caroline Smrokowski), and Sol Rizzato, also her great grand daughter Eva Rose , her brother Salvatore (Russo) and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband Anthony, her parents Angelina and Salvatore, her sister Carmelina (Pendola), and her sister Geltrude (Patrone). The internment was private. The family requests those wishing to honor Rosarina consider a donation to Back the Vest, The Chicago Police Memorial Foundation, or a charity of choice in her memory.

From the Chicago Police Memorial page!

Patrolman Anthony N. Rizzato, Sr., Star #12407, aged 37 years, was a 3-year, 9-month, 28 day veteran of the Chicago Police Department, assigned to the Bureau of Field Services – Patrol Division: Unit 056 – Area 6 Task Force.

On July 17, 1970, Sergeant James Louis Severin and Sergeant Ed Wodnicki met in the 18th District Tactical Unit Office before they proceeded to Cabrini with their respective teams to engage in the “Walk & Talk” program. A previous day’s confrontation necessitated having an additional person on Sergeant Wodnicki’s team for the day. As fate would have it, Officer Rizzato’s brother Nickalos, who was also a policeman, was assigned to Sergeant Wodnicki’s team. What followed was a vicious calculated murder of Patrolman Rizzato and Sergeant Severin.

Officer Rizzato and Sergeant Severin were volunteers for the Chicago Police Department’s “Walk & Talk” project. The program was designed to cultivate community relations between Chicago Police Officers and residents of the Cabrini-Green housing complex. On July 17, 1970, the officers became victims of sniper fire as they walked across the Seward Park baseball field at Cabrini-Green. Officer Rizzato and Sergeant Severin were shot in their backs by high-powered rifles which erupted from two CHA buildings. The purpose of the shooting was to seal a pact between two rival gangs. Patrolmen Dennis Jurkowski, Bob Sargus, Curtis Crisler, and Sergeant Edward Stetter drove into the middle of the baseball field under a hail of sniper fire to recover the bodies of their fellow officers. Officer Rizzato and Sergeant Severin were transported to Henrotin Hospital where they were pronounced deceased on arrival.
