Rosie Arevalo Gonzales

Rosie Gonzales, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on November 16, 2025, at the age of 86, surrounded by her loving family. Born on April 30, 1939, Rosie lived a long and fulfilling life marked by devotion, generosity, and a deep love for those around her.

For more than 40 years, Rosie dedicated her professional life to her work as an office manager and payables accountant for a local coffee company. Her reliability, kindness, and work ethic left a lasting impression on colleagues who became lifelong friends.

Rosie was preceded in death by her husband, Arthur Gonzales, and her daughter, Melissa Gonzales. She is survived by her son, Adrian Gonzales, and his wife, Jackie; her three cherished grandchildren; three great-grandchildren who brought her endless joy; two loving sisters; and numerous nieces and nephews who adored her dearly.

Rosie's greatest happiness came from caring for her family—especially through her wonderful cooking, which was the heart of many gatherings. She enjoyed her weekly hair and nail appointments, treasured the companionship of her beloved dog, Bella, and found comfort in her quiet evenings watching Law & Order.

Rosie’s warmth, humor, and unwavering love touched everyone who knew her. She will be deeply missed by all her family and friends, but she leaves behind a legacy of love that will forever live in their hearts.

May she rest in peace.
