A native of Guatemala, and proud resident of Ponchatoula for over 10 years, Rosamaria graduated from Colegio Belga High School in 1975. After high school she attended Del Valle College. Rosamaria began her professional career as a school teacher then moved to the United States and worked in quality control for Direct Insurance. She was successful and well respected as an outstanding teacher from Gautemala. She was a devout member to St. Anselm Catholic Church of Madisonville for many years.
Rosamaria was loving, compassionate, and most of all a very caring person to all. She enjoyed spending time outdoors/indoors and enjoyed arts and crafts as a hobby. However, her true passion was spending time with her loving family and friends. Rosamaria was unique and irreplaceable, well respected and liked, and will be deeply and dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. Her jovial spirit and tender nature will remain in the many memories of her cherished friends and family until they meet her again.
