Rosario C. Javier’s Memorial

On January 22, 2021 the Javier-Cruz family suffered a devastating loss of beloved family member Rosario C. Javier from COVID-19. She was 86 years old and leaves behind her son, daughter, and her 6 grandchildren. 

 

In the Philippines, Rosario was a grade school teacher for many years. Later in life she immigrated to the United States with her daughter. She helped raise her young grandchildren and eventually found her way back to her passion, children. She became a classroom aide at St. Francis Parish School and later served in the cafeteria. She was lovingly nicknamed “Rosie” by the teachers and staff. Her sweet smile and gentle demeanor brought joy to all.

 

Upon retiring she found herself reentering her role as “Lola” (Tagalog for grandmother). Family was of the upmost importance to her.  She always found a way to busy herself and help around the house. She was a strong, independent, resilient woman; truly an embodiment of a matriarch. She was truly loved and cherished by the people she met. 

 

We will always remember her hearty laugh and her gentle hugs. We already miss her dearly, she was everyone’s Lola and a truly a wonderful woman. 

 

At this time, we humbly ask you to help by donating or sharing to help cover the costs of her memorial services. We thank you in advance for all the kindness you’ve shown to us during this extremely difficult time. We are truly grateful for your efforts to help us.
