Rosalina Madera Maldonado

Rose Madera Maldonado, 63 years, was called home on June 14, 2025, embraced in her daughter’s arms. Rose was born in Catigbian Bohol, Philippines on March 24, 1962, to Ricardo and Victoria Madera. 

Rose is survived by her loving daughter Lori Maldonado-Gossett (Geoffrey Gossett). Rose is now reunited with her late husband, Leonel Maldonado, mother, father, brothers Alan Madera (Mayet Madera) and Federico Madera (Betty Madera).

Rose was a devoted and active member of her church, the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, and found great joy in serving the Lord. She was a vibrant soul, known for her contagious laughterthat could be heard from miles away. Rose found deep fulfillment in praising, worshiping, and building strong bonds with her church family, her daughter Lori, and her beloved furry companion, Milo.   

A gifted cook, a proud selfie queen, and a true plant enthusiast, Rose had a green thumb that brought forth beautiful flowers and bountiful vegetables from her garden. She found peace and happiness in nurturing life and soaking in the beauty of nature around her. Rose expressed her love through her cooking—always eager to feed friends and family until they simply couldn’t eat another bite! Her warmth and generosity were felt in every meal she served and every smile she shared.  Kind, loving, and generous to everyone she met, Rose leaves behind a legacy of joy, warmth, and compassion that will be cherished and deeply missed by all who knew her.

Also left to mourn her memory are her siblings: Anito Maglajos (Melitona Maglajos), Roman Maglajos (Dionesia Maglajos), Eulogia Mellejor (Teofilo Mellejor), Ricardo Madera Jr. (Maripas Madera), Roberto Madera (Virginia Madera), Mario Madera (Jaspe Madera), Vicky Barquio (Silvestre Barquio), Flora Banga (Franklin Banga), KOJC church family and countless friends who cherished her.
