Rosantina "Rosa" F. Albarado

Our beloved Rosa entered into God’s Kingdom on June 28th. Rosa was 84 years old  and surrounded by many loving family members when she passed.

Rosa was born to Manuel and Juanita Fuentes on March 17th, 1939 in Muzquiz, Mexico. After moving to Texas, Rosa met the love of her life Margarito Albarado. They married in April of 1958 and recently celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary.

A member of the St. Joseph Catholic Church from a very young age, Rosa participated in Catholic Daughters of America and St. Ann’s Altar Society for over 40 years.

Rosa was a loving and caring servant of God. Who whole heartily adopted a servant's heart. Whether it was caring for her clients' homes, her family, a friend she saw in town, or a complete stranger you can rest assured she was checking in on them and offering anything she had for their betterment.

Now that Rosa has passed into the arms of our Lord, we should remind ourselves that while this is the end of Rosa’s physical life on Earth, it’s the beginning of an eternal and beautiful journey for her. Rosa joins her parents Manuel and Juanita Fuentes, in-laws Eustogio and Beatrice Albarado, brothers Henry, Tony, Manuel Jr. and Ray Fuentes, sister Irma Capuchino, daughter in law Jimmy Albarado, three infant children, and granddaughter Hailey Albarado in Heaven. She is survived by many loving family members, including her husband, Margarito Albarado Sr, her two sisters, Jose Castillo and Lucy Sanchez, her three children, Armando Albarado, Margarito Albarado Jr. and wife Christina, Bertha Mueller and husband David, 8 grandchildren, 10 great- grandchildren and one two weeks away.

Her rosary will be recited on Friday, June 30, 2023, at 6:30 pm, at St Joseph Catholic Church in Rowena, Texas.  The Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, July 1, 2023, at 10:00 am, at St. Joseph Catholic Church with interment at St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery, in Rowena, Texas.

The family would like to give special thanks to Ballinger Home Health and Hospice for their tender love and impeccable care of Rosa.
