Rosalba Cruz

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of our mother, Rosalba Cruz, who left us peacefully on March 25, 2025. A woman of boundless love, laughter, and strength, Rosalba's presence illuminated the lives of everyone she encountered. Her resilience and kindness made her a cherished friend, confidante, and a treasured member of the Houston community.

Born on March 26, 1956, in Tamiahua, Veracruz, Mexico, Rosalba was a beacon of warmth, offering her love and support to her family, friends, and all those fortunate enough to know her. She was predeceased by her dear mother, Guadalupe Cruz Rivera, and leaves behind a loving family who will forever hold her memory in their hearts.

She is survived by her children, Martha Patricia Cruz (Juan Enrique Reyes), Hector Hugo Cruz (Sandra Padilla), and Iván Cruz (Janna Cruz). Rosalba's legacy continues through her beloved grandchildren: Daniela Malpica, Emily Malpica, Esmeralda Malpica, and Diego Cruz. Her great-grandchildren, María Belem, Edwin Adrián, Dilan Ariel, Maritza Guadalupe, Bayron Daniel, Ingred Anel, and Taylor, will also carry forward her love and spirit. She is also survived by her siblings, Miguel Cruz, Félix Cruz, Deonicia Cruz, and Araceli Cruz, along with countless friends whose lives were touched by her compassion, generosity, and infectious spirit.

To honor Rosalba's incredible life and the love she so freely gave, we invite all who knew her to join us in a memorial service celebrating her journey. Please come dressed in bright colors to reflect the vibrant spirit she brought into the world.

The memorial service will be held on April 8, 2025, at 6:00 PM at Trading Spaces, located at 1900 Blalock Rd., Houston, TX 77080. In lieu of gifts, we ask for the gift of your presence and shared memories.

Rosalba's life was a beautiful example of love, resilience, and the power of kindness. She will be deeply missed, but forever remembered with love and gratitude by all who knew her.
