Nona Marie Rieder Rossio, 86, of Frisco, Texas, passed away on December 2, 2023 after a long battle with Parkinsons Disease. She was born on April 13, 1937 in Cleveland, Ohio to Orville and Lillian Rieder.
Nona graduated from Parma High School in Parma, OH, and Miami University in Oxford, OH. She first met the love of her life, David Rossio, in 3rd grade. Many years later, the pair reunited and married. In 2023 Dave and Nona celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary.
After leaving her teaching career to raise two children, Nona joined Dave in the family business, Rossio Jewelry. Combining her passion for travel with her love of family, Nona saved her paychecks to fund annual family vacations. It was on one of those vacations that her son met his future wife.
Nona, known as Nonie to her four grandchildren, was the backbone of her family. A strong role model and a fierce advocate, she always put her husband and family first. Nonas dedication to her loved ones was unwavering, and she cherished time spent with her children and grandchildren.
Nona and Dave spent most of their lives in the Cleveland area, with homes in Rocky River and Westlake, OH. A move to the warmer climates of Florida after retirement in 2002 brought a new phase of life and many new friends. In 2018, Nona and Dave moved to Texas to be closer to their two children, David and Dana.
Nona is survived by her loving husband, David Lee Rossio; her son, David Brian (Cari) Rossio; daughter, Dana (Brian) Agnew; grandchildren: Matthew (Alexandra) Agnew; Michael (Cate) Rossio; Sarah Agnew; and Elizabeth Rossio; and sister-in- law, Sandra (Bruce) Molinaroli and family. She was preceded in death by her father, Orville Rieder, and her mother, Lillian Roggenburg Rieder.
Nonas memory will forever be cherished by her family and friends. Private family services will be held at a later date to honor and celebrate her remarkable life. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to parkinsons.org or michaeljfox.org in Nona's name.
