Rosa Gonzalez Ruiz

Gonzalez Chavez and Herlinda Ruiz Herrera. Being the oldest daughter of 14 siblings,

Rosa learned hard work and sacrifice at an early age as she helped her mother raise her

siblings with the utmost love and care.

Rosa married the love of her life, Rafael Olguin at the age of 17 on July 25, 1974 in

Tijuana Mexico. She was the most devoted wife, and her unconditional love and

affection for her husband was evident to all those that met them.

The family of 2, quickly became 5 as thy welcomed their 3 sons…Christian, Israel, and

Jonathan. Rosa loved her boys with every fiber of her being and had a very special

relationship with each one of them. Her nightly phone calls and blessings were just a

small part of the way se outwardly loved her sons.

The only thing Rosa loved more that being a mother was being a grandmother. She lived

for her 5 grand boys, and her love for them was what kept her fighting. She delighted in

watching them grow, and at any given opportunity, she would brag about how special

each one was.

Rosa was a fighter and her spirit was resilient and an inspiration to everyone. She placed

her needs last and lived a life of selflessness and servanthood.

Jonathan, her adopted daughter Veronica Mercado and her 5 grandsons Jonah, Daniel,

Jude, Dominik and Jack Jack. She will continue to watch over her 13 siblings who she
