Rosa D Abrego, age 84, of Brownsville, Texas passed away on Friday May 8, 2020. Rosa was born September 5, 1935. "Being a mother is discovering strengths you didn’t know you had and dealing with fears you never knew existed."
Coming from very humble beginning, our mother had the ability to make a dollar stretch. There was always plenty of delicious food on the table, birthday cakes to celebrate birthdays, and wrapped presents under the Christmas tree. She instilled the importance of education by making us read to her as she made flour tortillas, making sure went to school every day, and rewarding the “A” on the report card with dollars. She was her children’s rock, confidant, counselor, supporter, financer, referee, and problem solver. Her beautiful grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren were her pride and joy. One of her favorite past times was with her plants. She reproduced plants with “podas” and replanted “fresno” trees. Our mother was an extraordinary woman; she will forever live in our memories.
Rosa was preceded in death by her husband Celestino Abrego Sr.; son David Abrego, son Henry Abrego and son Joseph Abrego; sister-in-law Maria G. Abrego. Rosa is survived by; son Celestino Abrego Jr.; son Carlos Abrego; son Jorge Abrego; son Pedro Abrego; daughter Yolanda Abrego; daughter RoseMary Abrego; daughter Patricia Abrego; and son Robert Abrego. A graveside service for Rosa will be held Tuesday, May 12, 2020 at 10:00 AM at Rose Lawn Memorial Gardens, 4464 Old Port Isabel Rd, Brownsville, Texas 78526.
