It is with both sorrow and celebration that we announce the passing of Rosa Iris Robles, affectionately known to her grandchildren as "Preciosa," who departed this world on August 28, 2025, at the age of 82. Rosa was born on May 15, 1943, in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, to Santa Ruiz and Rupert Nieves, and she lived a vibrant life filled with love, laughter, and connection.

Rosa dedicated her life to being a devoted homemaker, where her nurturing spirit thrived. She poured her heart into her family, creating a warm and welcoming home that was a safe haven for her loved ones. Rosa cherished her role as a mother to her sons, Jimmy (Mabel) Robles and Johnny (Jessica) Robles, and as a grandmother to her grandchildren, Jamie (Meilin) Robles, James (Edson) Robles, and Jaymar Robles, Little Johnny Robles, Jerry Robles; as well as her great-grandchildren, Emma Robles, Jasmine Frias, Emmet Robles, Rosa Maria Robles who brought her endless joy and pride. She is further survived by her sister, Librada (David) Quiles; her niece, Nancy Schubel; her nephew, David Quiles; her sister Dori Nieves; her nephew, Jose Silvestrini; her sister-in-law, Elena Robles; and her niece, Maria (Jose) Robles; with great niece and nephews, Imani Jalil, Ricardo Jalil, Jazzmen Purnell, and Miguel Desarden; and her god-daughter, Melissa Ruiz Silvestrini.

Rosa's passions were as vivid as the colors of the roses she so loved. She was an avid traveler, often exploring new places and cultures. A true flower at heart, she delighted in shopping, dancing, and reveling in the rhythms of life through music. Rosa was known for her love of dressing up, doing her hair and nails, and applying her makeup with artistic flair, exemplifying glamor and grace at every turn. A proud pet lover, she shared her life with a beloved Yorkie named Sassy, who was as much a part of the family as anyone. Rosa touched the lives of those around her with her warm spirit and joyful demeanor. Her legacy is one of love, beauty, and laughter, and she will be profoundly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Rosa Iris Robles will forever be remembered not only for the beauty she brought into the world but for the love she instilled in all who knew her. May she rest in peace, embraced by the love and warmth she so generously shared. Rosa was preceded in death by her husband, Jaime Robles; and her brother-in-law, Ricardo Robles.
