Agnes Mary Roseboom (O'Halloran), born May 12,1934, in Astoria, Queens, New York, passed into the loving arms of God on January 24, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family. Agnes was the daughter of Michael O'Halloran and Agnes O'Halloran (McGrath) and was reunited in Heaven with her sisters, Georgina Byrne and Genevieve. After the loss of her mother at eight years old, Agnes went to live at St. Joseph's Orphanage in Brooklyn, New York, where her strength and resilience were shaped early in life.
Agnes married Kenneth Jay Roseboom and devoted her life to caring for others, both within her family and through her work. She spent many years as a medical assistant in the Coronary Care Unit at Peninsula Hospital in Far Rockaway, New York, where her compassion and kindness brought comfort to many.
In 1994, Agnes moved to East Norriton, Pennsylvania, where she joined the home of her daughter, son-in-law, and their children, remaining lovingly surrounded by family as a kind and steady presence.Agnes was preceded into Heaven by her sons, Kenneth Edmond Roseboom (beloved husband of Mindy Roseboom) and James Michael Roseboom (partner of Marcia Daniels).She is lovingly remembered by her devoted daughter Donna Saponaro and son-in-law Frank Saponaro; her cherished grandchildren Frankie Leone (partner Allie Gordon), Megan Saponaro (partner Ryan Nelson), Amanda Saponaro, Vinny Roseboom (wife Pam Roseboom), Melissa Sinerco ( husband AnthonySinerco), Jessica Rosenberg (husband Gavin Rosenberg), James Jr Roseboom, Jonathan Roseboom; and her treasured great-grandchildren Alina, Ava, Vincent, Conrad, Kenna, Troy and Theo, each of whom brought her immense joy and love. Agnes found love in life's simple pleasures-reading English murder mysteries, trips to Atlantic City to play the slots with her daughter Donna and completing the New York Times Sunday crossword puzzle. Agnes was also a devoted fan of the Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies. She never missed a game from the comfort of her come and favorite chair. She lived with gratitude, deep devotion to her family, and an enduring trust in God's plan. Family and friends are invited to a Mass at Visitation BVM Church in Trooper, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, February 7th, at 11 am.
