Rosenda (Rosie) Dolores Young of Devine passed away January 20, 2023 at the age of 37. She was born in San Antonio on February 20, 1985.
Our beloved Rosenda, was born on February 20, 1985 to Sisto and Olga Morales in San Antonio. Rosenda was also known as Rosie and Chendita by those who loved her.
Rosie graduated from Devine High School in May of 2003 and received her Bachelor’s Degree in communications from UTSA in 2008.
Her first job was at Shepler’s Western Store-which if you know Rose, you know it took a while for her to see a paycheck because of her love of boots and western wear.
Her second job was at Wyndam Resorts where she met the love of her life Joe Young. Prior to leaving Wyndam she got the best gift in her life (the Ring on her finger). Rosie was hired by the Cavender Family at their Toyota location, where she served as their HR specialist. Rosie enjoyed her employment with the Cavender Family.
On November 12, 2016, Rosie and Joe became one as husband and wife. This began a new chapter for Rosie with her bonus kids, Genesis and Brice. The family members grew with the addition of Panda, Berlin, and Canela, their beloved dogs. You would never see them alone without the dogs in Joe’s four runner, with each dog’s head sticking out a window. Rosie would be squished somewhere in there, just smiling away. They were going to a party, and as they were driving, they came across a dog along the roadway. So, she made Joe stop and they picked up the dog and that’s when Dolly joined their pack. Rosie and Joe enjoyed traveling together within the states.
Rosie had very strong family values; she was always concerned about her family and friends, always willing to lend a hand with whatever they needed. Regardless, of how hectic her life was, she always took time out to help those in need, just as she did with Miss Dolly. She truly was doing God’s work.
Rosie was so full of love and life for anyone she came in contact with. Her love and compassion overflowed from her glowing face and smile, and not to mention her red lipstick. The room would light up once she walked into it, with her big smile.
Rosie was also very faithful and loved the Lord and lived life positively.
There will NEVER be another Rosie and as she would say
“ALWAYS LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST AND NEVER BE MAD BECAUSE LIFE IS TOO SHORT!”
She is preceded in death by her husband, Joseph Earl Young and grandparents Sisto and Simona Morales and Manual M. Rodriguez.
Rosenda (Rosie) is survived by her parents Sisto Jr. and Olga Morales, and loving bonus children, Genesis and Brice Young along with numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
