Rosita Dorado's Obituary
Rosita Dorado,
beloved mother, sister, and daughter, went home to be with the Lord on January 18th, 2026, at Saint Bernadine’s Hospital. She was born on May 14th, 1966, in Tijuana, Mexico, to her parents Olivia and Cirilo Dorado.

Her gentle spirit, steadfast love, and deep trust in God guided her through life’s trials and became a source of inspiration for all who walked beside her. She leaves behind a legacy of resilience, humility, and unconditional love that will continue to live on in the hearts of her family and friends.
