Maricruz Ayala Rosado passed away on June 4th, 2024, in her home in Vero Beach, FL. Born in Miami on January 26, 1975, and raised by Joaquin and Amelia Ayala, Maricruz's life was a tapestry of love for her family and her friends, which included just about everyone she ever met.

Maricruz's journey began in Clewiston, where she grew up and graduated high school class of 1993. After high school Maricruz worked and lived with her older brother Nelson. Not long after, she met and fell in love with Franklin Rosado, and by October 26th of 1997, Maricruz married her soulmate.

In 2000, they began their family. Maricruz became a mother. And thus, her legacy began, and now includes her three remarkable sons, Matthew Alejandro Rosado, Antonio Francisco Rosado, and Andrew Julian Rosado.

For the next 24 years, Maricruz worked hard professionally, but most importantly as a loving mother and wife. Her life revolved around her family. Her sons' school and sports interests became her interests. She put all her spare time into supporting each of her sons in up to 3 separate sports each year. Maricruz became a valued member of the booster clubs and volunteer member for the Sebastian River High School baseball team, wrestling team, and cross-country team. Over the last decade, she has additionally cheered for every other student that has participated in those sports as if they were her own as well. Her passion for her children, and their success was unmatched.

Her door was always open for friends and family, coffee was always available, and no matter what task was at hand, Maricruz would be there to help you get it done, either at work or on a field, or a concession stand, homework assignment... no matter.

Her children will forever cherish hearing stories and comforting words of the many people in the community that knew her, maybe they did not know themselves. Her tiny stature had a gigantic impact on her community, and the lives she touched were many. Her infectious light will continue to shine on. The love she had for her family and friends was unconditional.

Predeceased by her parents, Maricruz's memory is honored by her loving husband Franklin; her sons Matthew, Antonio, and Andrew; her brothers Nelson Erazo Rivera and Jose "Papito" Erazo Rivera.

A viewing is to be held on June 7th, 2024, at Seawinds Funeral Home between 5-9 pm. A celebration of life will be held at a later date and time, but will be announced on her Facebook page when that info is available
