Luz E. Rosa “Nellie” Loving Daughter, Mother, Grandmother, and Sister LOWELL—Luz Enelia Rosa, “Nellie”, passed away peacefully on Friday, October 9, 2020 at Lowell General Hospital, after battling health issues for many years. She was 50 years old. Luz was born in Lowell on July 8, 1970, a daughter of Olga I. Rosa of Lowell, who survives her. She attended Lowell Schools. Prior to her illness, Nellie was a cashier at Market Basket on Fletcher Street. Nellie was all about family especially her children and grandchildren. They were her everything. Wherever she went, that was all she would talk about. Her heart was so warm and welcoming, she would give anyone the shirt off her back, even if that meant she was left without. Nellie had the most beautiful smile that would brighten up any room she walked into. Her personality was definitely one of a kind, and for that we will always keep those memories in our hearts. One thing her family said is that she was a true fighter and she fought until she could not anymore. Nellie was loved by so many people, even those who just met her. Nellie is survived by her son, Luis Fontanez and his wife Amneris Cosme of Florida, Monica Vazquez and her husband Miguel Vazquez of Lowell, Ruby Bruno and her husband Juan Gomez of Haverhill, and Thalia Pimentel and her husband Aurelio Vazquez of Lowell; her brother, Angel Rosa; her sister, Carmen Correa; 12 grandchildren, Xavien Fontanez, Isaiah Fontanez, Kylah Salinas, Jaydeci Cruz, Noriel Gomez, Christopher Ramirez, Yaneris Cosme, Edwin Algarin, Nevaeh Fernandez, Alexzaiyah Vazquez, Janiah Vazquez, and Javien Vazquez. Nellie is also survived by all the special people that make up her Pender Family, her mother, Tomasa Pender, and her brothers and sisters. She also leaves nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
