Rosalba Ramos Gay, born in Mexico City, Mexico on March 13,1968, passed away of heart failure on October 8, 2026, at Brooks Rehabilitation in Jacksonville, Florida. The eldest of 5 daughters born to Raphael Ramos and Zenaida Fajardo, Rosalba was raised in Mexico City. After a devastating earthquake damaged much of the city in 1985, she moved with her family to Tijuana, BC. After finishing high school, Rosalba attended secretary school and was working for a lumber company when she met her future husband in February of 1995.

She married June 17, 1995, at the Candlelight Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, NV, and they moved to El Cajon, CA. Rosalba worked cleaning houses and had their first daughter May 31, 1997. In 2001, the family relocated to northern Wisconsin. Rosalba purchased and ran a successful small motel in Superior, WI, and gave birth to their second daughter on December 31, 2007. In 2015, Rosalba and her family sold everything and moved to Port Orange, FL, where she purchased an existing cleaning business and operated TLC Cleaning until September of 2026.

Rosalba was a devoted mother and wife, a member of the Catholic faith who attended Our Lady of Hope church and a person of strong character beloved by family, friends and business associates. She loved fishing, nature walks, movies, good food, Latina music, shopping at thrift stores, decorating, cruises and the occasional trip to the casino. Rosalba was thrilled to learn her eldest daughter was pregnant and she would get to be a grandmother.

Rosalba is survived by her husband Christopher M. Gay, daughter and son-in-law Crystal and Tommy Lu and daughter Dulce Nicole Gay. She is also survived by sisters Patricia, Alicia, Monica and Ana Maria.
