Survived by siblings Joe, Richard, and Marie, and numerous nieces and nephews. Our Mom, Rose, dedicated her life to her Family. She was a devout Catholic Christian and resilient throughout her life. After raising eleven children, she pursued night school for her diploma. She then went to nursing school and became a Certified Nursing Assistant, working at Saylor Lane Convalescent hospital for 20 years until retirement. 

Mom had a passion for cooking and serving others. She always welcomed her extended family and friends to “come and eat”; her homemade tortillas, and whatever she had made for dinner. Her chiles were a staple on the table. Mom made something out of nothing. Mom will forever live on in our hearts.
