Rosa Maria Salazar

Rosa Maria Salazar, 74 of Fairfield, passed away Saturday, October 5, 2019 in Fairfield. Rosa has an unselfish heart and a smile that could light up a room. She was the mother to five beautiful kids. She taught us strength and how to persevere through any tough situations. We will always cherish the lessons and love our mom gave to us. If anyone were to ask her what her true love was it was her grandchildren. There was nothing that could go without. If they wanted one of her specialty dishes they got it. It was with them when we saw her the happiest. It was in those previous moments that she taught us what unconditional love is. She was a wonderful wife, mother and momma. She will be missed greatly. She was a member of St Bernard Catholic Church Fairfield. She is preceded in death by her father Donaciano Gallegos in 1986 and mother Margarita Gallegos in 2019.
