Rosa "Rosy" Cacicedo

1953 - 2021

Rosa "Rosy" Cacicedo (Gonzalez)

Rosa "Rosy" Cacicedo (Gonzalez), 67, beloved Wife, Mother, Sister, and Friend, was called to her eternal resting place on May 16, 2021. Known as "Mamita" to her son, "Muñequita (among many other TOE)" to her husband, and "Rosita" to her family and friends. She entered this world on August 30, 1953, in Camagüey, Cuba, born to Venancio and Neida (Alvarez) Gonzalez.

Rosy attended El Colegio del Carmen (a Catholic school) in Camagüey, before moving to the United States on July 28, 1968, with her immediate family and several cousins. After living with family in Americus, GA, Rosy spent time living in New Orleans, LA before settling in Miami, FL. In 2017, Rosy and her husband moved to Hurricane, Utah, to be closer to family and the natural areas that they loved so much. Rosy married first in 1971 and gave birth to the light of her life Alberto in 1978. She finally married the love of her life and soul mate, Pedro, on April 25, 1997. She spent a 30-year career with Miami-Dade County until retirement in 2011.

Since the 1990's, Pedro and Rosy traveled considerably by RV across America, particularly in the South. In later years, they also traveled extensively in the West with her sister-in-law and brother-in-law Iraiza and Bob Porter.

Rosy loved spending time in nature going on hikes and particularly watching butterflies and hummingbirds. When not spending time in nature, Rosy enjoyed decorating and maintaining her beautiful home and cooking food and desserts for her beloved family. And yes, she had a sweet tooth!

Rosy's bravery and persistance as she battled cancer ensured that she was able to spend time with those she loved. Rosy drew on her strength and the support of her devoted "Pedrito" who cared for her during her final months and days.

She is survived by her husband Pedro Cacicedo; son Alberto Chinique (Eric Masten); sister-in-law Iraiza Porter (Bob); father Venancio Gonzalez; brother Veny Gonzalez; and many cousins and extended family members.
