Rosalinda Acevedo Perez

It is with heavy hearts and profound gratitude for her life that we announce the passing of Rosalinda Acevedo Perez, who departed this world on June 8, 2026, at the age of 82. Rosalinda passed peacefully at home in the loving embrace of her family, concluding a courageous battle with liver cancer. Born on October 10, 1943, in the close-knit community of Lamesa, TX, she graced the world with her presence, leaving behind a legacy of love, creativity, and unwavering devotion. Rosalinda was the cherished daughter of the late Felipe and Maria Acevedo, who instilled in her the values of kindness and compassion. She was predeceased by her beloved grandson, Cody Ryan Perez; her parents; her grandparents, Jose and Catarina Padilla and Roman and Maria Acevedo; and her favorite aunt, Evangelina Acevedo Kujawski, whose spirit of warmth and generosity she carried throughout her life. Rosalinda is survived by her devoted husband of 61 years, Joe M. Perez, with whom she shared an enduring love story that began on October 12, 1964. Together, they built a family filled with joy and laughter, raising four wonderful children: Joe (Suzanne) Perez, Jr., Jo Ann (Danny) Flores, Robert Perez, and Cynthia Perez. Her legacy continues through her 11 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, including Klarisa Perez, Bobby Perez, Jase Flores, Joe Perez III, Antonio Perez, Adrianna Perez, Jessica Perez, Christopher Perez, Miguel Perez, Jerek Flores, Jacqueline Perez, and great-grandchildren Kaden Perez, Jasai Flores, Rocco Tomassetti, Damien Rivera, Toni Avayah Valdez, and Lennox Perez. Rosalinda's life was a beautiful tapestry woven with love and creativity. A gifted seamstress, she transformed simple fabrics into cherished garments, from wedding gowns to cheerleader uniforms. Her talent for sewing without a pattern was nothing short of magical, and her creations were a testament to her artistic spirit. Beyond her needlework, Rosalinda delighted in crafting, creating whimsical dolls and bunnies, crosses, and jewelry, each piece infused with her vibrant imagination. Her heart was as expansive as her creativity, always open to family and friends. Rosalinda's home was a sanctuary of warmth, where her hospitality knew no bounds. She was a steadfast presence, offering support and guidance to her husband and children, no matter their age or the circumstances. Rosalinda's passions extended to the baseball diamond, where she was an avid fan, cheering for her grandsons and the Astros with equal fervor. Her adventurous spirit led her to travel across Texas to watch her grandson play baseball, and she found joy in the thrill of gambling, savoring life's unexpected turns. Her playful exchanges with her great-grandson Jasai, marked by their endearing farewell of "See you later, alligator!" and "After a while, crocodile!" will forever echo in the hearts of her family. In her honor, the family requests that donations be made to the CP22FOREVER Foundation, a cause close to Rosalinda's heart.
