Rosie was a dedicated mother first and foremost. She cherished her children and embraced every moment with them. Rosie loved to love on people, always putting others before her. She loved family gatherings and always hosted as many as she could. No matter how much work it took, Rosie loved hosting. For Rosie, she was happiest when her family was around her. Rosie had a flair for baking, especially during the holidays. She was a master cook in the kitchen. She loved family game nights because it meant she was with family. She had an infectious smile that could light up your soul. Rosie devoted her career and life to the Alamo Colleges District for over twenty years. Colleagues expressed gratitude and honored to work alongside with Rosie. She treated everyone with respect and always put the students first. Her work ethic was phenomenal. She devoted time and money to school causes for many years, such as Back to School Supply Drives, Coat Drives and the Angel Tree Children at area elementary schools every Christmas. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. When you think of Rosie, celebrate the good memories you had with her. She led by example on being a compassionate human being. We will continue honoring Rosie, you are gone, but you left your footprints here so we can follow them for the rest of our lives.
