Rosalee Vesta Carlyle, loving wife, mother

January 5, 2023

Rosalee Vesta Carlyle, 81, of Georgetown, passed away peacefully in her sleep Tuesday morning Dec.  27, 2022, after a long battle with dementia and Alzheimer’s.

She was born March 15, 1941, daughter of Vesta Rosie Phelps and Joseph Francis Marshner. Rosalee was raised by her mother, whom she loved with all her heart, and was her caregiver for many years until she passed in 1997. She grew up in Pasadena, Md., with her two brothers Jean Marshner and Phillip Marshner. At the age of 32, she married George Harvey Carlyle, and they spent 49 years happily married and started a beautiful life together in Delaware. Rosalee spent her years being a wonderful wife and mother to her three daughters. She enjoyed being a homemaker, shopping, ceramics, puzzles, and dancing and singing to her all-time favorite music artists. Her favorite holiday of the year was Christmas surrounded with family, which is where she felt most comfortable and loved. 

Rosalee is survived by her husband, George Harvey Carlyle; her three daughters, Belinda Boothe, Julie Serio-Carney and Rosalee Sweitzer; her six grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. She will be deeply missed, always in our hearts, and never forgotten.  

Services will be private.
