Rosina was born on February 2, 1923 in Little Falls, a daughter of the late John and Caroline (Visconti) Casullo. She was educated in Little Falls schools. On November 9, 1947, Rosina was united in marriage with Frank Scarano in St. Joseph’s Church, Little Falls.

She was a devoted communicant of the Holy Family Parish, Little Falls. She belonged to the Church Rosary Society and sang in the Church Choir.
