It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Melissa Anne Brincat Rotondo.
Melissa was a loving daughter, sister, aunt, niece, cousin, and friend whose kind spirit and vibrant personality touched the hearts of all who knew her. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Frank Rotondo, in 2016, as well as by her father, John Brincat, and her grandparents, Catherine and Weldon McCartney and Charles and Marie Brincat.
She is survived by her devoted mother, Veronica Brincat, her loving brother, Robert Brincat, and his wife Lisa, along with her cherished niece and nephew, Anthony and Nancy. Melissa also leaves behind many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends who will deeply miss her presence.
Melissa had a passion for beauty and self-care, especially through her love of makeup. She took joy in shopping and could often be found browsing her favorite stores—Macy’s and Sephora. Her sense of style and eye for beauty were as radiant as her personality. An animal lover at heart, she shared a deep bond with her beloved cat, Kayla, her faithful companion of ten years.
Friends and family are invited to gather in remembrance of Melissa during visitation hours on Friday, October 10, from 2–4 PM and 7–9 PM at Blackley Funeral Home, 809 Broad Avenue, Ridgefield NJ. A Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday at 11:30 AM at St. Nicholas Church in Palisades Park, followed by cremation.
Melissa’s life was filled with love, laughter, and warmth. She will be remembered always for her generous heart, her stylish flair, and the joy she brought to those around her.
