It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Rosa Elva Baeza, a beloved member of the Marfa community. Rosa Elva was born on September 5, 1936, in Ojinaga, Chihuahua, Mexico, and peacefully passed away on October 22, 2024.
Rosa Elva was a devoted housewife who dedicated her life to caring for her family with love and warmth. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness and compassion that will be cherished by all who knew her. She enjoyed sewing and gardening. Rosa spent most of her life in Marfa on a ranch.
She is survived by sons David Baeza, Oscar Baeza, Raul Baeza; daughters Maria Pantoja (Angel) and Elsa Baeza; brother Jose Hinojosa; and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Rosa Elva’s memory will also be treasured by her extended family and friends.
