Our dear Aunt Rose was carried to heaven by our Lord's angels on December 15, 2018, following a short illness. Born on November 24, 1920, in Rio Hondo, she resided there until 2003 when she relocated to Humble, Texas, to be near family. While she adopted Humble as her new home, her heart remained with the town of Rio Hondo and all those who were part of the history of the community and Fred's Drug Store.

Aunt Rose loved family, Rio Hondo, and sports. She was an avid sports fan and regularly followed the Texas A&M Aggies, Kansas State University, University of Kansas, Notre Dame, the Houston Texans and the Houston Astros. She also kept up with the Rio Hondo Bobcats as she could. She loved family gatherings, breakfast out on Saturday mornings, and keeping up with news from Rio Hondo and that of world and current events. She could argue politics with the best of us!

She was preceded in death by her parents, known affectionately in Rio Hondo as "Mr. and Mrs. Fred", her brothers, Fred and wife, LaRay, Al and wife, Sammy, and Ralph. She also had a whole host of cousins in San Benito and although the oldest of the family, she outlived them all. She missed them dearly and we, the remaining Roiz clan, are comforted by the fact she has rejoined those she loved so much.

She is survived by 4 nieces: Linda Kay Baker (J.D.), Kathy Thoman (Paul), Cindy Brackin (Eddie), Michele Heileman (Tim), and one nephew: Michael Roiz (Michelle). She left behind 18 great nieces and nephews and 16 great-great nieces and nephews, including a set of Roiz twins, affectionately known as the "Roiz Boys" and the newest member of the Brackin family.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Heritage Retreat Care Home and the Memorial Hermann Hospice Team for their loving care of Rose. Private family services will be held in Humble with graveside and internment following at Mont Meta Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the entire Roiz clan asks that friends hug each other more, laugh more, root for your favorite ball team this holiday season and take time to remember the good times at Fred's Drug Store.

Querida familia, nos hemos enterado por unos primos de la triste noticia. Queremos mandaros nuestro más sentido pésame y condolencias por la ausencia de tía Rosa.
Todos la recordamos en su visita a España, yo en concreto la recuerdo hablando con mi abuelo Santos; su conversación inteligente y vibrante, su curiosidad, su afectuosas. He intentado transmitir a mis primos que teníamos una tía lejos que merecía la pena que conociesen.
Os mandamos saludos afectuosos y un fuerte abrazo.
En nombre de las familias descendientes de:
Benito Roiz
María Roiz
Aurora Roiz
Santos Roiz. En especial sus primos aún vivos: Herminia Roiz, Pepe Roiz, Gregorio Roiz, Triny Roiz, Guillermo Roiz. Y Feliciano Roiz. Pilar Roiz que ya ha mandado su mensaje.
Y en el mío propio, Nuria Gutiérrez Roiz

Al enterarme de tan triste noticia mi corazón se ha partido en dos, gracias tía Rosita, quien tuve la gracia de Dios de conocerle en su primera visita de la ciudad de México en 1963 venía acompañada de tía Dionisia y tío Rafael.
Que vinieron de visita para conocer a mi madre JUANA CALDAS ROIZ su prima y a sus tíos FEDERICO CALDAS BULNES y BENIGNA ROIZ CAMPO.
Desde entonces empecé a quererles a todos ellos a mi tío Federico y a mi tío Alfonso , Y Río Hondo se convirtió en un punto de reunión familiar Al igual que la farmacia de Fred ( Fred's Drugstore ) en el en donde podrías disfrutar cualquier tipo de soda de tu invención o helado.

Dios nuestro, te llevaste a quien más amamos en el mundo. La amargura invade nuestras almas pero acatamos Tu santa voluntad

La dulzura se reveló en su corazón y la nobleza en sus obras

Mi alma confía en vuestras promesas; y por eso esperaré en Vos o señor

Bienaventurados los que mueren en el Señor. Ya desde ahora dice el Espíritu que descansen de sus trabajos

Dear family, We were just talking about the American part of the family and about Rosita the cousin of my mother. Searching in the internet we found this article and were really touched that she had such a long and happy life.

My deepest sympathies to all the family members of Rose Roiz. I am the oldest child of Mary Clare (Watson) Molitor of Rio Hondo. Although most of the Watsons are gone from Rio Hondo, my memories of going to Fred's Drugstore with my Aunt Lee (Watson) Snowden lives on. Mother spoke fondly of the Roiz siblings and through the years asked about them when she visited her parents on Robertson Road in Rio Hondo. May Rose's memory live on in your hearts forever.
Very sincerely,

This family meant a lot to many of us who grew up in Rio Hondo and knew this family and the memories made at Fred's Drugstore. You were always made to feel so welcome and never forget the soda's and lunch there. Hope Fred's Drugstore remains a landmark in Rio Hondo. I will never forget such a wonderful family and a special place. So sorry for your loss.
