Petra H. De La Rosa

Serving as the matriarch of the DeLaRosa family, Mrs. Petra De La Rosa was a natural woman whose warm smile and kind spirit touched every life she encountered. Petra raised 8 children single-handedly after the passing of her husband, Remigio De La Rosa in 1986. In addition, she also raised 2 of her 18 grandchildren. Petra enjoyed expressing her love in the form of crocheting and would make blankets for her grandkids and would love to take care of them. Psalms 104:14 describes Petra: “He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth.”This means that God always provides for His creations. This was also true of Petra, as her special joy was working in the yard and gardening to provide for her family.
