Queen’s Obituary
Maria Rosa Mendoza, age 69, adoring grandmother to nine, loving mother of three, and loyal wife to late husband Jesus Mendoza, passed away in the early hours of the 8th of July. Maria also known by Rosa by many who she touched and loved her dearly, was born on March 1, 1954 in Ayutla, Jalisco, Mexico. Was forced to grow up way too quick to help her parents raise her siblings as her own. She then came to the United States in her early 20’s to better her life. Rosa was influenced by her eldest brother Ernesto and Sister n law Nena, to be a loving, caring and an independent woman. Always giving her time and genuine love to others with out expecting anything in return.
She then met her late husband Jesus in Norwalk. Where they fell in love, then married February 26, 1983. They both shared a love for family and soon began to grow their own little family and had their first daughter in December 13, 1983. As time went by then they had their second daughter on June 15, 1988, then moved in to their home in San Bernardino where years later they were blessed with their only son God knew they needed on March 17, 1995. Her kids meant the world to her. Rosa raised her children to be strong and independent. She did everything she could to give her children nothing but the very best. There in San Bernardino she lived the happily in her ranch, along side her late husband Jesus and her three children.
She was then blessed to have the highest title ever known as grandma to her first grandson in 2003, was then blessed with her first granddaughter in 2004, and then again in 2007 by her eldest daughter. As years went by with all the unconditional love she had in heart to give she then became grandma again in 2011, 2013 and 2016 from her middle child. She did anything and everything for those kids. Always did the impossible to make sure they felt her love even in every meal she cooked specifically for them. As years went by all she yearned was to ever meet a child of her youngest son. Her dream finally came true when she finally met her princess, her youngest granddaughter in June 2022. Her heart was then complete and had all the love she never thought she needed.
Rosa was not only an amazing wife, mom and grandmother. She was also the best mother n law one could ever ask for. Always took care of her son n laws and daughter n law like they were own children. Never treated one differently. Because to her they were like her own.
Maria Rosa Mendoza was a unique women inside and out. Rosa was Respectful, Strong, caring and very loving to say the least. She was one who always gave her all to those around her. If anyone one around her ever needed anything she was the one to stop and help with no hesitation or judgement. She was just that type of person who went the extra mile to make sure everyone was good around her. She will always be remembered by the amazing heart she had. Lets not forget the best amazing cook one ever came across. Every dish ever made by those special hands were made with love and always left a spark in our hearts. She was, is and will always be one of a kind! She will be greatly missed by her family and loved ones. Especially her children, grand children, son n laws and daughter n law : Mary, Yessenia, Jesus, Jesse, Jasmin, Jiselle, Isaiah, Natalie, Ariana, Jayleen, Aaleah, Madison, Jesse, David and Karina who adore her with all their hearts.
