Rose Lopez, age 97, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother, our family's rock, passed away Saturday, November 16, 2024. She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother with a strong faith who had wit and humor. An independent lady that had open arms and a large heart for all. She loved cooking and caring for others. Throughout her life she cared for those who could not care for themselves, whether family or friend. She loved participating in rosary rallies and prayer meetings. Mom worked at the church for many years. She helped raise many of her grand and great-grandkids. Her strong faith gave her a long life of always seeing only good in everyone. Her go to for advice was "pray for them." She always welcomed you with a cup of coffee and a warm smile. Rose loved attending to her birds and sitting in the sun.
