Margaret Norita Puzz Rosetti died on Sunday, May 15, 2016. Margaret was born July 26, 1920, at the home of her parents on Chartres Street (Bayview Avenue) in the Biloxi neighborhood affectionately remembered as \"Back Bay\". She was baptized in St. John Catholic Church, now Blessed Seelos, and was educated in that same parish school. She met the love of her life, Anthony J. Rosetti, while strolling on Wachenfeld Pier and then married him in 1939. She lost her beloved \"Tony\" in 1974 after 35 years of marriage. He suffered a massive heart attack while aboard a vessel in the Gulf, shrimping for the Blessing of the Fleet Fais Do-Do. Margaret was blessed with the longevity and good health to know and love four generations of progeny: Children, Linda Lee Rosetti Lawrence (Francis), Anthony Joseph Rosetti, Jr., deceased (Mary Dell Ross), Gary David Rosetti (Elizabeth Helm), Jeanie Rosetti, deceased, and Bryan Paul Rosetti (Laura Quave); 9 grandchildren; 14 great grandchildren; 5 great great grandchildren. Margaret is survived by one sister and her husband, Iris Puzz Vierling and William \'Buddy\" Vierling and one sister-in-law, Shirley Usey Puzz. She is preceded in death by her brothers and their wives, Andrew Puzz, Donald and Betty Puzz, and Larry and Delores Puzz; and her sisters and their husbands, Violet and Steve Bowen and Helen Dale and Guy Mansi. Margaret was truly a member of the greatest generation and all that title suggests. She has a strength, courage and independence that comes with the experiences of 95 years of life. She was the matriarch of a large, loving family. Though she was petit in stature, she possessed a quiet authority. Her children and their families were her life\'s work and joy. Their health and well-being were her primary concern even until her final days. Margaret had the grace and dignity that defines the word \'lady\". She will be missed and her memory cherished by all that knew and loved her. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Blessed Seelos Catholic Church at 11am on Wednesday, May 18, 2016. Family and friends are invited to visit from 10-11am. Burial will follow at Biloxi City Cemetery.

The business is extant today [1999] on East Howard Avenue, but it is now owned by another family and known as&nbsp;<em>The Biloxi Schooner.&nbsp;</em></span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">In 1947, late one night, Kipp Dees and several amigos were completing an evening of partying and dancing at Sie’s Place in Biloxi. They developed a healthy appetite, the kind resulting from drinking beer and dancing. The Vancleavers stopped at Rosetti’s, a legendary eatery, best known for its roast beef po-boy, to satisfy hunger pangs before heading northeast to Vancleave. Kipp Dees ordered a crabmeat po-boy with cheese. In subsequent visits to Rosetti’s, Kipp, who was facetiously called \"Vancleave\" by Vici Rosetti, again ordered the crabmeat po-boy and requested cheese. Rosetti tasted Kipp’s concoction and was so delighted with the results that he placed the po-boy sandwich on his menu calling it \"The Van Cleave Special\", in honor of his friend \"Van Cleave\" Dees. At this time, Dees\' culinary creation costs a whopping $1.75 making it the most expensive sandwich in the house. In recent times, \"The Van Cleave Special\" has been observed on restaurant menus as far east as Miami, Florida.

His parents, George Rosetti (1909-1981) and Edna Mary Melvin Rosetti (1914-1979), part-owners of a restaurant named \"Rosetti Poor Boys\" at the Ocean Springs Bridge. &nbsp;Like many children of that era, he helped out at the restaurant during his teenage years, until graduation from Biloxi High School in 1954.</span></span>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">He matriculated to the University of &nbsp;Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg that fall, but his college career was cut short by a chance encounter. &nbsp;In his fourth month a friend reported he was getting ready to join the army. &nbsp;Wayne decided to drop out of school to serve his country too, and, by the way, take advantage of the GI Bill tuition benefits on his return. &nbsp;After obtaining his parents’ permission, he launched a three-year army stint.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Army life provided sufficient \"down\" time for Wayne to engage in his favorite activity, reading. &nbsp;His diverse interests ran to both fiction and non-fiction, especially history. &nbsp;Near the end of his stent he went into town on leave and saw the movie, Lust for Life, with Kirk Douglas. &nbsp;This show, about the life of Vincent Van Gough, included a scene with Van Gough’s brother Theo, an art dealer. &nbsp;Vincent couldn’t sell many of his paintings, so they accumulated at his brother’s apartment, presenting a habitation loaded with paintings. &nbsp;The scene touched something inside Wayne and at that moment he decided he wanted to be a painter. &nbsp;Prior to that inspiration he’d never had that feeling, nor had there been a painter in the family.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">While in town he bought a sketchbook, pencils, and a paperback book with an introduction to art whose first rule stated, \"Sketch everything!\" &nbsp;He took that to heart. &nbsp;His first sketches were of his combat boots and towel on his bunk. &nbsp;The results pleased him enough that he soon graduated to cardboard canvas and an inexpensive oil painting set. &nbsp;At the time he was stationed in Texas, and, upon attending a bullfight, went back to the base and painted his first large piece, the fight, and found himself gratified with his results.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Discharged from service in 1957, he returned home, searching for a job that would give him time to paint. &nbsp;His uncle owned a wholesale plumbing and electric supply on Howard Ave. &nbsp;and suggested he go into the family trade. &nbsp;With credit given by his uncle he rented a small building on 25th Ave. &nbsp;and hung a homemade sign. &nbsp;In two years he was doing so well he moved his business, \"Rosetti Supply Co.\", into a larger space on 28th St. &nbsp;Once the business was established he found he had spare time to devote to his art.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">In December 1964 he married his one and only, Helen Jurta Bates. &nbsp;From the very beginning she had a strong influence on his art, Wayne consulting her on such things as color choices. &nbsp;Their marriage has survived happily to this day, with two grown successful offspring: Wayne L.

The Kovaceviches were also from Stari Grad with some members living in Split and Brac. Mary Rosetti&nbsp; came to America in 1910. Her mother agreed to rent a room to Mato Soljan when he arrived in Biloxi only because she was familiar with his family from Croatia, which would suggest they were from Stari Grad. Hvar Town&nbsp; and Stari Grad. In the old Stari Grad cemetery, I found lots of Soljans and Kovaceviches but only one Rosetti.&nbsp; Rosettis might have been from Hvar. A lot of people assume the name is Italian -- and its origins may be. Rosetti is a common name around Venice, and that whole area was under Venetian rule for hundreds of years.

His capacity for play and mischief could be infuriating and totally forgivable in the same minute. All of which made him a hit with the ladies. Who can forget the family holiday gatherings when he brought not one, but two dates; each happy to be there and neither resenting the other. For all of his humor, there was something he took to with all seriousness… his music. With a drum kit to rival a rock star, he would practice for hours on end, and lord knows what else went on in that shed. Tommy tended bar for years at Mahoney\'s and the Isle, being one of the first hired when it opened its doors. He lovingly restored his home after Katrina, with the same meticulous attention to detail that governed other aspects of his life, right down to each perfectly spiraled curl on his head. He had a truly tender heart, with a special love for animals. Tommy never turned away a stray, caring for each pet selflessly. He is deeply missed by family and friends. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the animal rescue or shelter of your choice. He was preceded in death by his mother, Margaret Tremmel Peresich. Tommy is survived by his father, Pat Peresich, Sr.; brother, Pat (Susie) Peresich, Jr.; sister, Margaret Ann (Mark) Cowley; and nephew, Michael Anthony Peresich, all from Biloxi.
