Ambrocio Encino De La Rosa

Ambrocio De La Rosa Encino “YaYa” 

 July 15, 1943 – August 24, 2023  

Ambrocio passed away peacefully in his home in the loving care of his daughter Eileen.   

Ambrocio was born in Chihuahua, Mexico to Tomasa Encino and Ambrocio De La Rosa on July 15, 1943.  

Ambrocio met and married his love Christina in Pecos TX. She had two children, Nancy and Nicky Natividad, who remained part of his life until his last days. He spent many years in Pecos, TX and had many friends there too.  

He and his wife came to live in New Mexico. He lived many years in Greenfield. He worked in the farms in and around Dexter, Greenfield, and Hagerman area. He had many friends and enjoyed hanging out with them. He loved music and loved to dance. He and his wife won dance contests in Roswell. Most recently, he still enjoyed dancing but with his precious daughter Eileen. He loved spending time with his family in Chihuahua. He loved seeing them happy, so he always made sure to take them gifts and encargos.  

He loved his wife so much. He took such good care of her until her passing. For this reason, the Lord blessed him and he met Sandra with three rascals that brought him back to life again.   

He loved all three children as his own, Eileen, David, and Rebecca and they loved him as their dad too.
