Maria Rosa Rubio Recio's Obituary
Maria Rosa Rubio Recio (Ashkar) aka "Mama", age 75 of Miami, Florida passed away on May 16, 2020.
Mama was the heart and soul of her family. Our mama was a kind and generous soul. She always went out of her way for others and did so privately, wanting no acknowledgement other than the love she received from so many. In recognition of her quiet life and in light of social distancing requirements, the family will be receiving visitors for a limited time on Thursday, May 21 from 9:30-11:30 a.m. at Van Orsdel Funeral Chapels; 11220 North Kendall Drive, Miami, Florida. The funeral chapel will permit 10 visitors inside at one time.
A private burial ceremony attended only by her children, grandchildren and sister will follow.
She was survived by her daughters Jacqueline Calderin and Soraya Calderin Acosta; her sister MariCarmen Rubio; and her grandchildren Daphne Delgado, Lauren Delgado-Hardegree and her husband Bo Hardegree, Jordan Acosta and his wife Kathryn Lopez, Julian Acosta, Zachary Banks, and Ciara Acosta.
The family requests donations to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital in lieu of flowers.
