Shantytown
Rosalie Voitus King of Shantytown passed away peacefully on February 15, 2025. She
was the daughter of the late Stephen P. “Speedy” and Frances Yastremski Voitus.
After graduating from Jenkins Twp. High School, Rosalie continued on to the Pittston Hospital
School of Nursing, College Misericordia, and Luzerne County Community College where she
earned her nursing degree and became the Director of the Operating Room. Rosalie was
employed as a nurse at the Pittston Hospital, and then she worked at Geisinger Wyoming Valley
Medical Center until she retired as operations manager.
Rosalie’s nursing career of nearly 50 years stemmed from a heart to help people. She
possessed a sly sense of humor and she enjoyed travelling abroad. Rosalie was a member of
AORN and SS Peter & Paul Church in Plains Twp.
Rosalie was preceded in death by her husband Andrew King, Jr., companion Dr. Domenico
Scarano, brother Stephen Voitus, and sister-in-law Joan (King) Belcher.
