“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store
for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that
day – and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.”

Con profundo amor y gratitud, celebramos la vida de Rosa, quien partió en paz a la edad de 97
años el 5 de mayo, rodeada de sus dos hijas, Elisa Orrillo y Monica Arrieta.
Nacida el 10 de marzo de 1929 en Trujillo, Rosa vivió una vida guiada en la fe y el amor. Fue el
corazón de su familia, una mujer cuya presencia brindaba consuelo, alegría, sabiduría y calidez a
todos los afortunados que la conocieron.
Rosa dedicó su vida a criar a sus hijos y cuidar de los demás, siempre poniendo amor en los más
pequeños detalles: preparando deliciosas comidas para sus hijos y su familia, siempre presta a
escuchar y ofreciendo palabras de aliento y sabiduría y tejiendo innumerables ropones y mantas
para sus nietos y bisnietos; así como bellos tejidos que fueron creaciones propias.
Para sus nietos y bisnietos, era conocida como “Abuelita Rosa” o “Nana”, y siempre será
recordada por sus consejos llenos de ternura y sus abrazos amorosos. Entre los recuerdos más
preciados de la familia está su increíble capacidad de hacer que cada persona se sintiera
escuchada y comprendida. Estaba llena de compasión y gracia hacia todos los que la rodeaban.
Incluso en sus últimos años, Rosa conservó su lindo sentido del humor, su ingenio y su fuerte
ética de trabajo; nunca dejaba sus manos sin ocupar, recordándonos a todos cómo envejecer con
dignidad y elegancia.

Arrieta; sus nietos: Carlos Arrieta, Gissell Cravener, Emily Arrieta, Israel Orrillo, Yasbell
Arrieta, Coki Arrieta, Joshua Orrillo y Piero Arrieta; y sus bisnietos: Ethan y Aaron Cravener,
Nicolas Vasquez Arrieta, Luciana y Larisa Arrieta, Joseph, Emma, Isabella Orrillo, Fatima Leon
y Leo y Charlotte Arrieta.
Aunque nuestros corazones están llenos de tristeza, encontramos paz al saber que su larga vida
estuvo llena de amor, fortaleza y profunda devoción hacia quienes la rodeaban. Su legado vive
en la familia que formó y en las innumerables vidas que tocó.

“He peleado la buena batalla, he terminado la carrera, he guardado la fe. Por lo demás, me está
guardada la corona de justicia, la cual me dará el Señor, juez justo, en aquel día; y no solo a mí,
sino también a todos los que aman su venida.”
2 Timoteo 4:7-8
"During one of the hardest moments of our lives, Alyssa at Leal Funeral Home was a true blessing to our family. She guided us gently through every decision, never rushing us, and always making sure our wishes for my father were honored. Her kindness brought us comfort when we felt overwhelmed and brokenhearted."— Karen Aguilar
"At three o'clock in the morning, when my grandmother passed, they answered the phone and came immediately to bring her into their care. That alone meant more to us than they'll ever know. They treated us with compassion, patience, and respect — no pressure, no coldness, just genuine care."— Daniel Rodriguez
"Eric and Lilly were so supportive and kept reassuring me that whenever we needed them, they would be there. Such personal attention was wonderful. They made all the arrangements so easy even when the service was in another town. We are so grateful for everything Leal did for us."— Hildy Shanks
