Rolison Nassar, 80 DOVER - Glenna Anne Rolison Nassar peacefully went home to God on Thursday, May 2, 2013 at her home, surrounded by her loving family. She lived 80 wonderful years. Glenna was born on March 14, 1933 in Monesson, Pa. to loving parents, the late Samuel Edward Rolison and Hallie Frances Thomas Rolison. Glenna adored her family and all who knew her remarked about the beautiful aura of love and kindness that enveloped anyone who entered her life. She created a loving home for her adored seven children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends and loved filling her home with the smell of fresh baked pies, breads and sweets. She was a spectacular cook, forged long and deep friendships with her bridge group, and during the spring and summer, you could find her planting flowers of all varieties in her prized garden. Glenna adored her family and was a beloved friend to many. She was a wonderful mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She was cherished as well by her black lab, Rocky, who could be found at any time, day or night, sitting lovingly by her feet. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by beloved siblings, Charles Rolison, Howard Rolison, June Rolison and Hallie Robertson. She often exclaimed that "God must really love me because he gave me seven beautiful children and a wonderful life". Glenna is survived by her children, Samuel R. Nassar and his wife Angela of Annapolis, Md., Rebecca Nassar Dunne and her husband Michael of Bernardsville, N.J., Laurie K. Ferris and her partner Michael Miller of Dover, Gabriel E. Nassar, Jr. and his wife Ann of Falls Church, Va., David S. Nassar and his wife Tracy of Longmont, Calif., Melissa L. Nassar and her partner Shelia McGovern of Radnor, Pa., and Jonathan E. Nassar and his wife Mindy of Broomfield, Colo.; grandchildren, Jenna, Kristin, Marlee and Alex Nassar, Giancarlo DiMizio Jr. and his wife Courtney, Patrick, Amanda, Caitlin Dunne, Gabrielle Khamone and her husband Keo, Doher, Tarah, and Joshua Ferris, Adam, Benjamin and Luke Nassar, Zachary and Weston Nassar, Hunter and Rachel Nassar; great-grandchildren, Max Khamone and Bailey Chrzanowski. Memorial services will be held at noon on Tuesday, May 7, 2013 at Torbert Funeral Chapel South, 1145 E. Lebanon Road (Rt.10), Dover. Friends may call from 10 a.m. to noon. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions be made to Seasons Hospice, 220 Continental Dr. Suite #101, Newark, DE 19713.
