Rosalia's obituary
Rosalia (Rose) Anna-Estelle Rivera was born on September 24, 2025, in Lakeland, Florida, to her loving parents, Briana and Jacob.
Rosalia is survived by her parents; her three big brothers, Ayden, Nicholai, and Giovonni; her grandparents, Rosalind and Bruce; her great-grandparents, Bernetta, Hector, and Maria; her aunts, Crystal, Brittney, April, and Rachel; her uncles, Robert, Louie, Erik, and Paul; her godmother and her mother’s best friend, Darriane; and a host of cousins.
She is preceded in death by her great-grandfather, Harold; her grandmother, Laura; and her aunts, Ruth and Lawanza.
Though Rosalia’s time on earth was brief—just 14 weeks and 1 day—she filled her family’s hearts with immeasurable love. She will forever be cherished as our precious rose, a reminder of grace, strength, and beauty that will never fade.
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.” — Jeremiah 1:5
In her memory, Rosalia's mom, Briana, finds comfort in the words of the songs “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)” and “It Is Well with My Soul,” and by her father, Jacob, "Always Be My Baby".
Rosalia’s life, though short, is a song of love and hope that will echo in the hearts of her family forever.
