Garcia (Emerald), Cierra A. Tamez (Stephen), and Chelsea N. Eubanks (Nicholas); as well as eight great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren. Also part of Rosita’s cherished circle were her brother, David De La Vina (Maria); her sisters, Olga Rodriguez and Ernestina Gonzalez; honorary relatives, Rogelio and Juanita Tamez; along with several nieces and nephews, all of whom were touched by her kindness and warmth.
