Rosa Bloom passed away peacefully on August 19, 2024. Born on October 30, 1947, to Gerardo Acosta and Refugio Ramos, Rosa brought laughter and joy to all who knew her.

Rosa was a loving mother to her three children, Rosa Delia Gunnels (Robin), Roxanna Yvonne Manzanedo (Arturo), and Patricia Ann Silva (Abel), who were her pride and joy. She also adored her eight precious grandchildren and one great grandchild.

Rosa had a green thumb and spent countless hours tending to her garden, where she grew the most beautiful flowers. She had a way with plants that seemed almost magical.

Rosa will be remembered for her bright smile, generous spirit, and unwavering love for her family. While she may no longer be with us, her memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved her.

Rosa was predeceased by her beautiful Mother Refugio, her brothers jesus & jorge, and Sister Guadalupe. 

She is survived by Brothers; Gilberto, Francisco & Ventura and Sisters; Clarissa and Cecilia.

Rest in peace, dear Rosa. You will be deeply missed.

A memorial mass will be held for Rosa at 3:00pm on Friday September 6th, 2024, at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Bryson City North Carolina.
