Susan Diane Rosen, formerly of Framingham and most recently of Hudson, Massachusetts, passed away May 5, 2026, at the age of 80. Born in Boston on March 9, 1946, to Irving and Doris Sokolove Berman, Susan lived a life defined by intelligence, loyalty, humor, and deep devotion to her family.
Susan was the beloved mother of Julie Maccini and Jeffrey Rosen and his wife, Diane Rosen, and the proud grandmother of Sarah Maccini, Abigail Rosen, Katherine Rosen, and Rachel Maccini. She is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews. Susan was predeceased by her brother, Leonard Berman, and her parents, Irving and Doris Berman.
Susan spent decades working in the beauty department at CVS, where she formed lasting friendships and became known for her warmth, vibrant personality, and unwavering loyalty. She treasured the friendships she built throughout her life, including those from Camp Rapputak and Windsor Green in Framingham, where she raised her children. Strong-willed and deeply proud of her family, Susan found her greatest joy in celebrating the accomplishments of her children and grandchildren.
Smart, curious, and full of spirit, Susan loved pop culture, watched Jeopardy! faithfully, followed the news closely, and was a devoted Boston sports fan, especially when cheering on the Celtics and Patriots. She encouraged her family to pursue education and independence, setting an enduring example of strength and perseverance.
Susan will be remembered with immense love and missed beyond measure by her family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know her. May her memory be a blessing.
