ROSA DE LEON Rosa M. de Leon, 83, of Henderson, peacefully left us Oct. 9, 2013, at home, with her family by her side, after a long battle with cancer. She was born Sept. 26, 1930, in Havana, Cuba, to Rogelio and Felipa Jodra and arrived to Las Vegas November 1967. In 1969, Rosa along with her husband, Gabriel, started "Gabriel Jewelers" which became, and still remains, a well-known and trusted Las Vegas family business. Not only was Rosa a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and sister, but she touched the lives of everyone around her by her infectious smile and kind, selfless personality. Rosa was preceded in death by her daughter, Maylene de Leon. She is survived by her husband, of 58 years, Gabriel J. de Leon; loving son, Gabriel de Leon Jr.; along with three grandchildren, Chelsey, Brandon and Chandler de Leon; as well as brothers, Valentine and Rogelio (Papito) Jodra.
