Eleuteria Ortiz Rosario, 87, of Rome, Georgia, passed away on November 7, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of love, cherished memories, and a family who will forever hold her close in their hearts.
Born on October 2, 1939, in Caguas, Puerto Rico, Eleuteria was the daughter of Felix Ortiz and Felicita Rosario. Throughout her life, she was a woman of deep faith, a devoted Catholic, and someone whose greatest happiness came from the people she loved.
Eleuteria was a wonderful mother, a caring daughter, and a woman who found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She had a special place in her heart for children and especially loved flowers and gardening. There was something beautiful about the way she appreciated nature, finding happiness in watching flowers grow and bloom. Much like the gardens she tended, the love she gave her family was something that would continue to grow and flourish through the years.
Her Catholic faith was an important part of her life. It gave her strength, comfort, and guidance through life’s many seasons. She carried her beliefs close to her heart, and her devotion to God was a meaningful part of the woman she was.
Above all, Eleuteria’s greatest legacy is the family she leaves behind. To those who loved her, she was so much more than a mother or grandmother. She was part of their everyday lives, their memories, and the moments that made their family special. Her presence will be deeply missed, but the love she shared will remain in their hearts forever.
Eleuteria is survived by her husband, Alejandro Medina; her sons, Jose E. Medina, Javier Medina, and Ruben Medina; and her daughters, Carmen Douglas and Ana Morales.
She was preceded in death by her son, Carlos Medina.
As family and friends gather to remember Eleuteria, they will celebrate a life filled with faith, family, and love. Although saying goodbye is never easy, there is comfort in knowing that the memories she created will continue to bring warmth and peace to those who knew her.
May she now rest peacefully in God’s eternal embrace, where there is no sorrow or pain, only everlasting love. And may every flower that blooms serve as a gentle reminder of the beauty she brought into the lives of those she leaves behind.
