In Loving Memory of Rosa Isela Espinoza
September 1, 2004 – February 22, 2026
Rosa Isela Espinoza, lovingly known as “Rose,” was a beautiful, loving, and caring soul whose presence brought light into every room she entered. With her big, beautiful eyes and radiant smile, she had a way of brightening even the darkest days. Rose was outspoken, full of character, and never held back from standing firm in what she believed in. From a very young age, she showed determination and a strong spirit, always striving to shine in whatever she set her mind to.
Rose had a deep love for sports and especially enjoyed playing kickball, giving her whole heart every time she stepped onto the field. More than anything, she cherished her family. She adored her niece and nephews and loved them fiercely. The bond she shared with them was filled with laughter, warmth, and unforgettable memories. Rose was the kind of person you could never forget once you met her.
She is survived by her loving father, Richardo “Ricky” Espinoza Jr., and her mother, Cynthia Aurora “Cindy” Espinoza; her sisters, Selena Espinoza, JoAnn Espinoza, and Liliana Espinoza (Edwardo). She leaves behind her beloved nephews, Santos Vallejo IV, Rowan Q. Garcia, Liam S. Perez, and Santiago L. Perez.
Rose is also survived by her paternal grandparents, Richard and Maggie Espinoza, and Elizabeth Gonzalez; her maternal grandmother, Rosa Perez Puentes; and her paternal great-grandmother, Juanita Espinoza; along with numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who will forever cherish her memory.
She was preceded in death by her maternal grandfather Enrique Puentes; paternal great-grandfather, Pasqual Espinoza; her paternal great-grandparents, Manuel and Aurora “Buddie” Torrez Jr.; her uncle and godfather, Moises “Moy” Villalpando; and her cousins, Emilio “Milo” Perez Jr. and Moises “Baby Moy” Villalpando Jr.
Though her time here was far too short, the love she gave and the impact she made will live on forever. Rose, you have touched our lives in so many ways. We will forever carry you in our hearts.
