Emma Rocha, 74, passed away October 24, 2025 in Childress, Texas.

A memorial service will be scheduled for a later date.

Emma Rocha was born May 30, 1951 in Laredo, Texas to Ruben Rocha and Francisca Vega.

Emma worked for royal park in 1975, however her most recent job was at Walmart. Emma will be remembered for her nurturing nature, she was a care giver to several people and would also iron for the public. She enjoyed quite a few things one being that she absolutely loved going to the game room-she had lots of fun there. She also really enjoyed baking, weather or not she had all the ingredients to her recipe was another story. When she baked sometimes she was known for not following her own recipe; and would end up with a new recipe- If it was nasty she would just toss it away. Carmen, Mary, and Gracie will forever cherish the fond memories that the three of them had with their dear sweet sister; Emma.
