It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Rosa Elia Zamarripa, who left us peacefully on August 29, 2024, at the age of 80. Born on December 10, 1943, in Nueva Rosita, Coahuila, Mexico, Rosa was the beloved daughter of Rita Hernandez and Juan Peña. As an only child, she was the treasured center of her parents' world.
Rosa dedicated her life to her family, raising her devoted children Hilda, Leticia, Lucy (David), Oney (Lylia), and Arturo (Sylvia). Her loving influence extended to her grandchildren—Claudia (Nick), Andres (Jon), Christian, Amanda, Marisol (Brandon), Romi, Aaron, Iliana (Tyrone), Diana, Kenny and her great-grandchildren—Jacob, Lorelei, Olivia, Damian, Alexa, Milan, Cairo, and Zealand.
Rosa's nurturing spirit and warmth created a lasting legacy within her family, touching each life she encountered with her kindness, affection and her cooking. Her menudo was legendary as well as her homemade flour tortillas.
Her presence will be deeply missed, but the love and joy she brought into our lives will forever be cherished. Rosa's strength and grace have left an indelible mark on all who knew her.
Rosa Elia Zamarripa will be remembered for her loving heart and the profound impact she had on those around her. May she rest in peace and may her legacy of love continue to inspire and guide us.
