Rose Marie Cuttita

Rose Marie Cuttita, 87, of Divine Corners, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by loved ones on January 2nd, 2026 after a courageous battle with cancer.

Rose was born on November 30, 1938. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who devoted her entire life to her family. She was a source of love, warmth and strength to all who knew her. She will be greatly missed and forever in our hearts. She was an avid reader, loved gardening and was always doing yard work, even while battling cancer she trimmed the hedges. She loved taking care of her chickens. When she told us she got chickens we all thought, that's nice, how many did you get? She told us 50, we were all surprised but not surprised! She also loved feeding the wild birds, always buying feeders and bird seeds. She was forever trying to outsmart the squirrels. We were always waiting to see who would win the most recent battle.

"You don't know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have." Rose was always a strong, independent woman, and she fought valiantly against the deadly foe. "It is not the strength of the body that counts, but the strength of the spirit." Cancer claimed her body, but her spirit soars free and she is now at peace.

She was preceded in death by her parents Edwin Fredenburgh and Esther Thomas, her first husband Carl Huebsch and her son William Huebsch.

She is survived by her devoted husband Frank Cuttita of 53 years of marriage, her children Nancy Brey of New York (husband Daniel), Wendy Moss of North Carolina (husband Shelley), Cynthia Willams of New York (husband Shawn), Steven Cuttita of Vermont (wife Kaitlyn), Teresa Butler of New York (husband Bill), and James Cuttita of Florida (wife Kristy). Nine grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother Richard Fredenburgh of Florida.
