Our beloved Mother and Nana peacefully entered into eternal life surrounded by her loving family on August 31, 2017. Rosita was born in Pilares, Sonora, Mexico on December 12, 1925 to Robert and Esther Reyes and moved to Douglas at the age of 3 where she lived her entire life. She attended Douglas schools and during World War II she worked at the Air Base in Douglas. She married the love of her life, Tomas after he returned from World War II. She was a homemaker and was solely committed to her husband and children. She will be remembered by her family and friends as a shining light who truly made a difference to all by her presence. To know Rosita was to love her.
