Frances Rotella (nee Bellandi) 92, of Hasbrouck Heights passed away on Friday, January 24, 2025. Born in Marcellinara, Calabria Italy to the late Margaret and Raffaele Bellandi and came to the United States in 1961. Before retiring, Frances was a seamstress for LaChic Boutique in Hasbrouck Heights. She was a parishioner of Corpus Christi R.C. Church, a member of the Garden Club and the Leisure Club all in Hasbrouck Heights. Beloved wife of the late Luigi Rotella.

Loving grandmother of John Louis Rotella, Jr., Daniella Rotella, Emily Rotella and Christopher Rotella. Dear sister of Lugino Bellandi and the late Gina Nestico. Frances is also survived by her extended family in Calabria, Italy.

Frances was a beacon of love and support to her family and friends, always ready with a warm smile and comforting hug. And not to forget, a beautiful homemade Italian meal for anyone who entered her home. To Frances, family was everything and having her grandchildren by her side brought her true joy.  Frances was a shining example of how to continue so many beautiful "traditions".  She loved her family in Italy and cherished her memories with them, especially the closeness she shared with her sister and brother.

"In the hearts of those who loved you, you will always be there."
