Rose Vigil, 83, of Rodarte, NM, went to be with our Lord on January 8, 2024. She was born to the late Napoleon and Teodorita Martinez on August 30, 1940, in Abiquiu, NM.
Rose was a faithful and dedicated member of the San Antonio de Padua Parish in Peñasco, NM. She served many years as the Mayordoma for the Santa Barbara Capilla, catechism teacher, donation counter and Carmelita. Rose was an amazing cook and was well known for her delicious biscochitos, pastelitos and enchiladas. She was a loving wife, mom, grandma, sister and friend. She was always willing to volunteer in the community and was one of the founding members of the Peñasco High Athletics Booster Club. Rose was the happiest when she had a house filled with family, friends and especially babies and children. She was known as Grandma Rose by many. You couldn’t leave her house without enjoying a meal or home-baked goodies and you always left with a bag filled with more to enjoy at home.
