Born on August 7, 1930, in Ciales, Puerto Rico, Rosa worked most of her life as a laborer for several clothing companies. She retired when her first grandson was born and she dedicated the rest of her life to his care. Rosa loved cooking and spending time with family. Her sense of humor was infectious and she leaves her family with several videos and pictures that brighten up any room.
Rosa is survived by her beloved spouse of 66 years, Jose Pagan, daughters Mayda Pagan, Evelyn Rivera (Tony), grandchildren Joey, Suzette, Mareille, Anthony (Krista), Johnnie, Sasha (Julian), and great-grandchildren Cassiel, Kalel, and Garrett.
Rosa is preceded in death by her parents, Carlos and Maria Santos, all of her siblings, and her son, Jose Alberto Pagan.
Viewing will be held on Tuesday, October 20 from 5-7 pm at Coral Ridge Funeral Home.
