Affectionately known as the “Empanada Lady” and the “Pancake Lady”, Rosa was deeply devoted to caring for her family.

She is survived by her loving children Pilar Salgado and her husband Delmiro, and Joseph Outumuro and his wife Isabel; dear grandmother of Rosemarie, Delmiro, Michael, Anthony and Matthew, and adoring great-grandmother of Destiny, Julian and Briella.
