Rosalia Emma Coronado

Rosalia “Rosa” Emma Lopez Coronado, a Wife, Mother, Sister, Aunt, Grandmother, and Great-grandmother died peacefully on October 19, 2022, surrounded by family.

Rosa was born to Ernestina Flores Lopez & German Lopez, on May 25th, 1932, in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. She married Herman L. Coronado, Sr. on April 15th, 1950, in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. They started a family and moved to Houston, Texas in 1956.

Our Mother, dancer extraordinaire loved to dance, so not mentioning this would be an injustice. She could not wait to get to the dance floor. While I think we can agree my family was not born with a singing voice, I guess we made up for it in our dancing moves. For instance, my Mom would be the first one on the dance floor. My brother Herman definitely loves to dance and may be hitting it up on the cruise ship’s disco, and my sister and I also have the same gene and dance anywhere the opportunity arises. Our love to dance was definitely influenced by our Mom. Our Mom’s cooking was also something that we all loved! I know we will all miss her chicken mole, rice, and the beans my Dad would make among so many other dishes.

Rosa is survived by her loving Husband Herman L. Coronado Sr, children Herman L. Coronado Jr. and wife Jane, her son Ricardo Coronado and wife Gayle, her daughter Elsa Jackson and her husband Bill, and her daughter Teresa Coronado. As a grandma and great grandma she was very proud and close to all her grandchildren and great grandchildren: Carmen, Erica, Vincent, Ryan, Tyler, Aiden, Parker, Peyton, and Presley and her two sisters, Beatriz Herrejon and Josefa Lopez

Per our mom’s wishes, a private celebration of her life will be held at a later time.

In lieu of customary remembrances, the family requestions donations, if desired, be made in Rosa’s memory to a charity of your choice.

Our Mom was clearly a woman who loved to make people laugh and smile, an even today although no longer with us. She leaves us all with great memories that will live on forever and we will never forget her.
