Vienna Rock, age 96, passed away on Saturday, October 1, 2022 at Aurora Medical Center in Kenosha.
Born on February 15, 1926 in Perryopolis, PA, she was the daughter of the Nello and Celestine (Leoni) Carlini. When she was a child, her family re-located to Kenosha. She grew up attending local schools and was a graduate of Bradford High School.
On February 19, 1949 she was united in marriage to James J. Rock at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Catholic Church in Kenosha. Their union was blessed with 54 years of marriage until his passing in 2003.

She was a member of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary of Pompeii Catholic Church, St. Mary’s Lutheran Family Circle, and the Kenosha Senior Citizens Center.
Vienna served as a volunteer at Kenosha Hospital and Medical Center for close to 25,000 hours. Applying her love of knitting, she made over 1000 hats for the newborn babies in the hospital.
