Obituary of Rosemary Briseno Velarde
IN THE CARE OF

Draper Mortuary

Rosemary Briseno Velarde, 74, passed away peacefully on Sunday, January 25, 2026, in Pomona, California. She was born on May 23, 1951.

Rosemary graduated from Pomona Catholic School, where she met the love of her life, Ernest Velarde. Together they built a life rooted in love, and family.

Throughout her life, Rosemary found comfort and joy in her television—whether watching classic movie reruns or her favorite drama series, her TV was always on. More than anything, she cherished her home and the family she created. She deeply loved her husband, her two sons, and her two grandsons, and always looked forward to family visits and sharing occasional meals together.

Rosemary is survived by her sons, Steven Velarde, Sr., and Edward (Lori) Velarde, and her beloved grandsons, Steven and Anthony Velarde.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Ernest Velarde, and her father, Robert R. Briseno.

Rosemary will be remembered for her devotion to her family, her quiet presence, and the warmth of the home she loved so dearly.
