Rosemarie "Rosie" Garza Deshauteurs

Rosemarie Garza Deshauteurs (“Rosie”), 77, passed away on Monday, January 16, 2023 at her New York home in Flushing, Queens. Rosie was born October 21, 1945 in (Manhattan), New York City, NY to Luis Garza and “Minnie” Herminia Garza (Guzman).

Rosie was a kind soul who loved deeply. She was a devoted, caring, warm person who dedicated her life to service and making other people happy. Rosie had a great sense of humor, ALWAYS had a smile and enjoyed making others laugh.

Rosie was a retired Human Resource Social Worker for the New York City Department of Social Services in Queens County, New York. She touched so many lives and was happy to help those in need. She also volunteered as a CCD teacher at Incarnation Church/School in Hollis, NY for the afterschool program for the religious education of children who are in public schools. She loved children and taught them the steps of preparation to accept the sacraments in the catholic belief, wanting the children to find hope and faith.

When Rosie retired she traveled with her husband and they enjoyed excursions to Orient Point and Montauk Long Island. They traveled to many places, enjoyed boat rides and lunches together as well as many dinners, especially in South Street Seaport, their favorite spot. She enjoyed picnics, family celebrations and birthdays which Rosie always celebrated with excitement and love. She enjoyed taking a cruise with her sister to the Bahamas, a trip to Cancun with her husband and many travel experiences with her husband that included trips to Nice, France and its surrounding areas.

Over the years Rosie did her “snowbird” moves back and forth from New York to Deltona/DeBary in Florida to make sure she spread her love and time among her sister Aurora, family and friends. She took a few trips to see her oldest sister Esther and Lee in Texas before her sister Esther passed away.

Rosie is survived by her husband, Jean-Claude P. Deshauteurs; sister Aurora Cortes (Garza), niece Lissette Rose and her husband Mark Rose, niece Jo Anne La Morte and her husband George Pardo, nephew Paul Jimenez, nephew Johnnie Cortes and wife Laura Cortes.
