Rosa M. Vega

Rosa M. Vega was welcomed into the arms of our Loving Father on February 26, 2025 surrounded by her family. Rosa dedicated her life to her family and friends. She gave so much and demanded so little. Her enduring care and love brought strength and wisdom to all around her. She set an example and inspired all to be their best and guided us in our faith. Rosa was a beautiful daughter, sister, wife, mom, nana, aunt, cousin and friend. In her arms we had comfort. She had kind words for everyone. She was born on August 19, 1933 in El Paso, Texas to Cruz Martinez (+) and Julia Artalejo (+). She was reunited with her husband, Jesus Vega Jr. (+) to whom she was married to for 70 years at the time of his passing.

Rosa graduated from Austin High School. She encouraged children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to further their education.

She married the love of her life, Jesus Vega Jr., on November 11, 1952.

Rosa is preceded in death by her siblings: Jose A. Martinez (Manuela Benavidez), Maria Estela Martinez, Julia Martinez (Benny Hernandez), Carmen Martinez, Lorenzo Martinez (Angie Cereceres), Cruz Martinez (Librada Cereceres), Maria Elena Martinez, Jesus G. Martinez (Hortencia Robles), and Maria Luisa Martinez (Santiago Moreno).

Rosa is survived by her children, Julia Delgado, Jesus Vega III, Mary Ann Vega, Patricia Tullius (Thomas Tullius (+)), and Ricardo Vega (Sylvia Luna), 11 Grandchildren, and 12 Great-Grandchildren.

We are ever grateful to God for her in our lives.
