Rocio was someone who showed interest in many things. She was a kid at heart and loved little knick knacks such as miniature furniture, characters, and loved collecting mini brands. She was Disney’s number one fan. Her favorite princess was Cinderella. She was to instill her Disney loving legacy to all her children and grandchildren.

Her favorite sit down spot was Chili’s, Souplantation, and Taco Tuesdays at El Torito to name a few. She loved her snacks. Twinkies, Cheetos, and her coffee or soda.

A tradition that will forever be carried on. Rocio left a legacy that will forever be cherished and engraved in her family’s heart and souls.

She was funny, loving, quirky, selfless, compassionate, and astonishing woman to anyone she met. She cared for many and many cared for her. Her love was felt in everything she did and every time she spoke. She was the light of the family and definitely the heart and soul. She loved to tease and joke around with everyone. Rocio left us too soon and suddenly. She will be so desperately missed. Forever in our hearts and in our memories she will live on. Gone but definitely never forgotten. Until we meet again momma. We love you always and forever.
