Margarita De La Rosa

Our beloved Margarita De La Cruz De La Rosa, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend joined our Heavenly father in eternal life on October 23, 2016 surrounded in the love of her family and friends. She is survived by her husband Ramon De La Rosa, children, Araceli Barnard, Ray De La Rosa, Veronica De La Rosa, Jose Robert De La Rosa, Hector Rene De La Rosa, and predeceased by her son, Saul Lorenzo De La Rosa.

She is also survived by her grandchildren, Nicole Barnard, Angie Barraza, Lily De La Rosa, Marcos De La Rosa, Victoria Margarita Liu, Isabel Margarita De La Rosa, Vivian AnnMarie De La Rosa, Robert Jose De La Rosa and Audrey Sofia De La Rosa.

Born in Zacatecas, Mexico and a lifelong resident of El Paso, Texas, Margarita lived as a wife, mother, grandmother, friend, colleague, business woman, and community advocate. Margarita always exuded kindness, empathy, laughter, strength, and love. The Christmas posadas was a tradition in her home for over 45 years we all grew up with. She left us with an invaluable lesson in Life that there is no barrier you can’t overcome with faith in GOD and family. She also instilled in us to get an education or trade to be a productive member in life.

It was her love that has had a profound impact on the essence of who we are, our mother lives on in our hearts.

She DID IT HER WAY.

In His Light, Margarita will guide our paths, give us strength in our time of need, show us love to fill our hearts, and make the colors of the rainbow more vibrant through His image.
