Antonina Rosete Nafarrete

Antonina Rosete Nafarrete, age 95, passed away on October 27, 2026. Born on March 1, 1931, she was a beloved and cherished presence whose life was marked by devotion, faith, and a steady generosity of spirit. She resided in San Diego, California.

In 1960, she married Salvador Garcia Nafarrete, and together they built a family grounded in love, sacrifice, and enduring commitment. She bore a stillborn son, Angelico Rosete Nafarrete, and was a devoted mother to four children: Salvador Rosete Nafarrete, Dwight Rosete Nafarrete, Mary Melody Nafarrete-Noma, and Yolanda Marie Anderson. Her family also grew to include twelve grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, with one more great-grandchild to come—each held with deep pride and tender care.

A faithful and compassionate woman, Antonina’s days were enriched by the simple, meaningful joys she shared with others. She loved gardening and found delight in time spent over board games, especially Mahjong and Scrabble. Her creativity showed through in scrapbooking and crafts, sewing, and singing—gifts she offered with a selfless heart, often turning ordinary moments into lasting memories.

A devout Catholic, Antonina lived her faith quietly yet firmly, letting it shape her kindness and her care for those around her. Those who knew her will remember the gentle guidance she offered so naturally, and the words she repeated with sincere conviction: “Don’t forget to pray.”

Antonina will be remembered with gratitude and respect, and her legacy will live on in the family she loved so deeply and the example of devotion and compassion she leaves behind.
