June 17, 1955 – August 20, 2024
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Rozenda Limon, age 69, of Silver City, New Mexico. Rozenda was born on June 17, 1955, in Silver City to Reymundo and Jennie Gonzales. After a brave and valiant battle with cancer, she passed away on August 20, 2024, surrounded by the love of her family and friends.
Rozenda was known for her strong business acumen, building a successful career as a respected businesswoman. Even after retirement, she continued to lend her bookkeeping expertise to various organizations she was passionate about. In her later years, Rozenda also discovered a new passion, a passion for golf, traveling to tournaments near and far with dear friends and her beloved companion, Al Cabrera.
Among all her accomplishments, Rozenda's greatest pride was her children, Elena and Daniel, whom she shared with her former husband and cherished friend, Francisco Limon. Her devotion to them was unwavering, and there was nothing she wouldn't do for them.
