Obituary For Rose Gomez Enciso

Rose turned 99 years old on August 30th. She received the precious gift of final perseverance to celebrate a planned birthday party on September 1st surrounded by her loving family and friends, in her home, in joyful Enciso tradition. The following day, Our Lord called her to her true home. Rose entered peacefully into eternal life on September 2, 2013.

Rose will always be remembered for her joyful love, her tender caring, her generous hospitality, and her smile for everyone! She was always there for her family with unconditional love. Born in San Martin, Jalisco, Mexico, Rose immigrated to the U.S. with her sister, Beatris in the early 1920's. She met her husband in LA and all came to Fremont in 1926 to make a living in farming. Always hardworking, Rose's family survived through the depression and labored in love into the early 60's raising and picking corn, vegetables, apricots, and strawberries. Rose also worked in the canneries and nursing homes. The last farm was in Newark on Baine Ave. which later became the home of Newark's City Hall. She moved to her home on Chapman Dr. in Newark where she lived the rest of her life until her passing. Rose endured her courageous battle with Alzheimer's for 20 years. A faithful Catholic, she had a strong love and devotion for Our Lord and Our Lady of Guadalupe.

She is preceded in death by her husband Felipe, her sister Beatris, her daughter Theresa, and grandson John. Reunited with long departed family and friends - what a joyful reunion that will be! She leaves behind her son Phillip; 6 grandchildren: Phil (Erlinda), Tom (Becky), Cathy (David), Ellie (Mike), Veronica, and Tony; 11 great-grandchildren: Nathan (Meghan), Natalie, Max (Monica), Jojo, Alex, Adam, Michaela, Josten, Lolly, Tula, and Marcy; 2 great-great grandchildren: Ella and Cruz; and many extended family members.

Much love and thanks to Maria Arteaga for her loving care of Rose in her final years, her beloved daughter Theresa and son Phil, Ellie, Tom, Veronica, Tony, and Les, and all those for making it possible for her to remain in her home and be near to the family she loved with all her heart.

Visitation will be held on Monday, September 9, from 5-8pm with a Vigil at 7pm at Fremont Chapel of the Roses, 1940 Peralta Blvd., Fremont, CA 94536. Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Tuesday, September 10, 10:30am at St. Edward's Catholic Church, 5788 Thornton Ave., Newark, CA 94560. Burial will follow at Holy Spirit Cemetery in Fremont, CA.
