Seeking better opportunities for her family, Rosita moved to Monterey, where she embarked on a new chapter of her life. She found employment at CHOMP Hospital, where her warmth and kindness shone brightly as she served as a tray passer.
In addition to her daughters, Rosita was blessed with the joy of grandchildren who brought endless happiness and pride into her life. She adored each and every one of them and found immense joy in their presence.
Her grandchildren, Tharen Usi, Justin Dela Cruz, Nyra Usi, Jaden Morga, Kyla Usi, Isaiah Morga, and Kyler Morga, were the apple of her eye. She cherished every moment spent with them, watching them grow and celebrating their achievements with overflowing pride.
