Rose Gracia Padilla, 80, of Beaumont, passed away peacefully in her sleep Monday, January 3, 2022. She was born on November 10, 1941, in Beaumont to Benita Alvarez and Adolfo Gracia, Sr.
Although she will be dearly missed, we know that she is happy to be with her love again, our Dad. This is a sure fact and our great comfort. Blessed and grateful to have such a strong, intelligent and caring woman as our Mother and Granny. We are thankful for all she has done, and especially that she always prayed for us. She exampled faithful and steadfast prayer. She loved casino trips with Dad, driving to the Valley to visit the San Juan Shrine, going out to eat, thrift shopping, watching the Hallmark channel, and most of all cuddling with her beloved fur baby cat, "Zorro."
She was a graduate of St. Anthony High School, Class of 1960. There are not enough words to express gratitude to a person who, instead of being a careered nurse, chose to devote her entire life to taking care of her husband, seven kids, parents, numerous grandkids, and anyone that she was able to help. May you enjoy your crowns in heaven above. You deserve it. We love you.
