Yolanda was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico on June 15, 1942, living life to the fullest until her peaceful final rest on May 29, 2020.
She enjoyed her green thumb, giving life into her plants the same way she did with the food in the kitchen. Always making enough food to feed an entire village and then some. The rooms and hallways, continuously filled with the sound of her dancing and laughter. And with her heart of gold, she helped others whenever she could.
Her career started after she graduated beautician school. She always made her clientele happy with the
magic she created on their hair and nails, along with her two daughters as guinea pigs.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Manuel Rosado-Rodriguez and Candida Brignonis.
Yolanda is survived by her husband, Pedro Santiago-Melendez; children: Marta Santiago and Catherine
Santiago; grandchildren: Amanda Cecilia Hernandez and Larry Manuel Hernandez; siblings: Celeste Rosado, Fausto Rosado, and Roberto Rosado and her extended family.
The family would like to thank close friends, and other family members for their kind words and support.
