Rosemary A. Kidd, 81, of Manchester, passed away on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, at Community Medical Center in Toms River. Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, she lived in Lakewood for 32 years before moving to Manchester 10 years ago. She worked for Harrogate in Lakewood and most recently at Bartley Manor in Jackson for seven years.
Rosemary found deep joy in caring for her family, especially her devoted husband, Tom. She had a lifelong love for Camaros, and making coffee for her loved ones was one of her quiet acts of affection. She cherished quiet evenings watching Little House on the Prairie and The Waltons at her daughter and son-in-law’s home, as well as shopping, dining at local restaurants with her daughter and grandson, and driving through the familiar streets of her old neighborhood in Jackson. An avid animal lover, she doted on her four cats—Chichi, Pumpkin, Blackie, and Momma—and her canine grandchild, Tiki.
She is survived by her husband of 29 years, Thomas W. Kidd; her daughter, Veronica M. Leidy, and Veronica’s husband, Daniel; her grandson, Rocco Gallucci; her sister, Carolyn Ann Meyer; nieces Danielle, Lisa, and Carolyn; and nephews John and Bernie John.
