Our Lord has called His angel Rosalie J. (Vasquez) Ornelas to her eternal home. She departed this life unexpectedly on November 24, 2013. Her husband, John and their children, Guadalupe, Catherine, Johnny, Theresa, Robert, Annette, Jesse, and Ruben will miss her greatly. Rosalie’s absence will also be felt by her 14 grandchildren, 16 great grandchildren and her living siblings, Mary, Angie, Elsie, and Rupert along with countless friends.

She retired from Hewlett Packard after 31 years of service, but continued working in her community at Giberson Elementary School as an Educational Assistant.
