Lorraine was a good friend to my wife and I and called me often to check on how I was doing after my wife passed away. She was a special friend to my wife Patricia and was killed only five months after Patricia passed on.

Lorraine Rosatelli killed in car crash. A man whose license was suspended 24 times has now been charged with manslaughter and drunken driving in connection with a fatal accident over the weekend in Manchester Township, NJ.
Killed by a drunken driver. Lorraine Rosatelli was "more than just a 66-year-old female" who was killed in what police say was a drunken driving crash on Route 70 in Manchester: "She was a mother and friend, (and) a hard worker who did not deserve to die in such a horrific way."
Rosatelli was remembered during a memorial service March 25 at DeGraff Funeral Home in Lakehurst. "She requested in passing that she be cremated..."
Rosatelli's death made headlines. Police said she was the victim of a drunken driver - Clifford Grabowski, 40, of Chester Avenue in the Whiting section of Manchester. Grabowski was driving despite his license being suspended after his third DWI conviction. And he was drunk the night he killed Rosatelli, police said. Grabowski was driving a 2002 Mercedes-Benz. The Mercedes hit the rear of the 2001 Buick Century Rosatelli was driving, causing it to overturn. The Grabowski car then went into the oncoming lane and hit a 1998 Chevy Blazer.
Medical bills force move. Rosatelli had been living with her son, Michael, before moving to Manchester. They co-owned a home in Rutherford. She became ill in 2005, and medical bills forced them to sell the home. She moved south to Crestwood Village and was working as a security guard at a senior community from where she was heading home from when she was killed, to pay off the bills.
