Rosela “Rosie” Loretta
(Suazo) Rubalcaba, 71,
was a devoted wife,
mother, grandmother,
sister, and friend. She was
called home to be with
our Heavenly Father on
November 22, 2022. She passed peacefully at home
surrounded by her husband, babies and loved ones.
She was born on May 17th to Barry and Adelita
Suazo in San Luis Valley, Colorado. She was the eldest
sister to four siblings: Brother Barry Jr. Suazo of Grand
Junction, sisters Eleanor (Joe) Ocana of Grand Junction,
Annabelle (Jacob) Segrest of Mesa, and Charlotte (Rick)
Martinez of New Mexico.
She met her loving husband Reginald “Ron”
Rubalcaba in 1968, and they wed 1969. They welcomed
their daughter LaVonne in 1969. Rosie and Ron were
blessed with 53 years of marriage.
When Rosie had LaVonne, she decided to dedicate
her life to being a fantastic and wonderful mother while
maintaining her career. Rosie excelled at motherhood
and was the foundation of our family, through and
through. After raising LaVonne, she devoted the rest of
her years mothering and raising her four grandchildren
“her babies”: Dannielle (Ben) Wieker, Makai Alexander,
Koby Rubalcaba and Athena McElroy. Rosie welcomed
her great-grandson Ryder into the world in 2013 and
spent nine years spoiling and doting over her little
Angel.
She was an excellent gift giver, always knew the right
thing to say, never missed a special date or event, and
truly enjoyed family gatherings.
Rosie was predeceased by her parents Barry and
Adelita, her daughter LaVonne, Brother Barry Jr.,
Brother Joe, and beloved aunts, uncles, cousins, and
nephews.
She is survived by her husband, her babies, her
grandson Ryder, her sisters and many nieces and
nephews.
