Rosa Virginia Roberts

Rosa Virginia Roberts (Ginny), 67, passed away on 11/09/2026. She fought hard but lost her battle to cancer, a battle she had been fighting since the early 1990's. She was born in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. Rosa was a Military dependent that traveled the world and the U.S. with her family until settling in Jacksonville, Florida. Rosa retired recently from Cox Media Corporation where she worked as an Executive Assistant.

Rosa graduated from Torrejon High School near Madrid Spain and from Florida State College in Jacksonville. Rosa was an animal lover her whole life. Her passion was to rescue abandoned and injured animals. She also dedicated herself to the rescue of community cats, specifically the trap/neuter/vaccinate/return program. Rosa worked closely with the Jacksonville Humane Society, EveryPet formerly known as First Coast No More Homeless Pets, and other animal rescue organizations. Rosa assisted in giving hundreds of cats a better life.

Rosa is pre-deceased by her father Charles David Roberts and survived by her mother Dolores Roberts, brother David Roberts (Jennifer), sister Cora Jager, sister Brandy Gustavus, nephew Dylan Roberts, nieces Madison Roberts and Jasmine Gustavus (Tonya).

Rosa always put her family first and took care of her father during his illness until he passed. Rosa also moved in with her mother years ago and took care of her until Rosa's passing. Rosa was caring and loved by her family and will be missed by her cats and by everyone that ever knew her.

To honor Rosa's wishes, no public memorial service will be held. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the Jacksonville Humane Society, EveryPet or any animal rescue organization of your choice.
