'Absolutely Beautiful' Chester County Girl Passes Away At Age 14

DOWNINGTOWN, PA — Family, friends, and acquaintances are mourning the death of a vibrant young Chester County girl who passed away recently at the age of 14.

Rose Madison Rondinelli, a Downingtown resident, was a student in the Downingtown East High School District.

Her obituary remembered a bright and widely loved girl.

"She had an energy that with even just one encounter with her, you would remember her for life," her beautiful obituary reads. "If you knew her well or barely at all, she always left you thinking. Whether it was about how absolutely beautiful, ridiculously funny, or just down right inappropriate she was, she left her mark."

A GoFundMe campaign aimed at raising suicide prevention awareness in Rose's memory has been launched. More than $2,000 has been raised in less than a week.

Rose's fully obituary is provided below via DellaVecchia, Reilly, Smith, and Boyd Funeral Home:

Rose Madison Rondinelli, 14 years young, survived by her loving parents, Raymond and Beth, her best friend and sister Rachel, her aunts, uncles, cousins, and her grandparents, Allan and Bea Forman and Raymond Rondinelli Sr.

She was also predeceased by her grandmother Joan Rondinelli.

Rose loved so many, and was loved by so many more. She had an energy that with even just one encounter with her, you would remember her for life. If you knew her well or barely at all, she always left you thinking. Whether it was about how absolutely beautiful, ridiculously funny, or just down right inappropriate she was, she left her mark.

She will continue to stay with us all through memories, and the laughs she forced us all to endure whether we were in the mood for it or not. We will see her everywhere. XXXL T-shirts, uneven bangs, Nike Air Force Ones and anytime you hear anything related to one of her many hobbies and obsessions.

She left the pain, but she also left us all and we will never be the same again. Now she is no longer in pain, yet we will continue to hurt. At this time we must come together and laugh for Rose’s sake. Rose would have wanted it that way.

Rose's service and interment were held privately.
