Rosalee Diaz Marruffo

Rosalee Diaz Marruffo.,77, of Odessa TX, better known as Rosa, is now in the hands of our heavenly father as of Wednesday, April 22,2026 with help from the amazing staff at The Parks Senior living and Interim Hospice aiding in her care. She was born April 13,1949 in Big Spring, TX. She was a very loving and kind soul to all those who knew her and well known for the love for her kids and grandchildren. Through her journey of life, she married the love of her life Ramon Lopez Marruffo Sr. And married through Holy Redeemer catholic church. she had immense faith in God, Jesus and the virgin Mary, Rosa loved praying, songs of worship, music in general, dancing, cooking, cleaning, singing, babysitting, sharing jokes with family and friends and loved to crochet. She also loved to listen to the birds sing and owned many throughout her life. She also loved her pet chihuahua-Daisy and would spoil her with her own wardrobe. Rosa was the kind of lady who would always help others without asking for anything in return. She worked as an Avon Representative, babysitter, nursing home - care giver, maintenance assistant, and retired from home health care as a provider. During her final days, she expressed how much she loved and would miss all her family and friends and constantly worried if they were ok –always putting others first regardless of her illness which she fought through with so much dignity and grace and would never complain even when she was in so much pain. On behalf of the Marruffo family, we would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers, kind words and flowers. God bless you all.
