Rosa Capps Obituary
Rosa Emma Capps, beloved mother, grandmother, and matriarch of the Capps Family, passed peacefully from this life, leaving behind a legacy of compassion, strength, and unconditional love. Born on June 12, 1930, Rosa devoted her 95 years to nurturing the family she cherished so deeply.
She is preceded in death by her devoted husband, Curtis Capps, and her sons Steve and Mark Capps, whom she now joins in eternal rest.
Rosa leaves behind a large and loving family who will forever carry her spirit in their hearts: Rose, Linda, Elizabeth, Wanda, Tina, and Jennifer; her son David: 19 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandchild. Each one was touched by her
gentle wisdom, her generous heart, and her steady presence- the things that made her the true heart and soul of the family.
Rosa lived by simple but profound words: "Don't just tell me that you love me, show me that you love me." She embodied this belief every day, teaching her family that love is action, kindness, and sacrifice.
Her life was one of quiet devotion, and her legacy is one of deep and abiding faith.
Rest in peace, Mom and Grandma. Our hearts will never be the same, but they will always be filled with your love.
