MARY ROSE DOMINGUEZ

Mary Rose Dominguez, age 92, passed away peacefully into the arms of her Lord and Savior on March 25, 2025, surrounded by her loved ones. Mary was born April 28, 1932, to Paul and Eulalia Guerrero in Apache, Oklahoma. She attended Tulare Union High School, class of 1949. After high school, she attended Federico Beauty College. On September 24, 1950, Mary married her high school sweetheart, Joe O. Dominguez.

In her early years of marriage, with Joe being deployed in the Korean War, Mary worked in a hair salon, was courageously employed as a police dispatcher, and started her lifelong endeavour of helping others by working as a therapist at Kings Mental Health.

Mary, more commonly known as Rosie to all her loved ones, enjoyed a faith-filled life of playing board games such as Skipbo, Scrabble and challenging herself with crossword puzzles. Some of her greatest memories are vacationing with her family at Camp Fresno, Dinkey Creek, and the Central Coast.
