05/16/1943 – 05/20/2019
Ruth Israel Rozas, 76, of Moss Bluff, passed away Monday, May 20, 2019 at Lake Charles Memorial Hospital.
She was born in Mamou, LA, to Marshal & Audrey Young Israel on May 16, 1943. She graduated from
Mamou High School where she was a majorette, and was crowned 'Miss Mamou' of 1960. She graduated from
Sowela Tech Nursing Program and worked for the state at the charity hospital for many years. She moved to
Nevada and continued working until she retired. She then returned to her beloved home of Lake Charles and
continued working into her golden years with her Walmart family, where she was a dedicated employee until
the very end. Ruth was a faithful follower of Christ. Her faith helped set the foundation for her children's love
for the Lord, which is the greatest gift a parent can give their children.
Those left to cherish her memories are her four children, Roxanna LeDoux LaPuma of Kansas City, MO,
Rhonda Rozas Lee of Kansas City, MO, Danny Rozas and wife Renee of Moss Bluff, and Chris Rozas and wife
LaDonna of Moss Bluff; ten grandchildren, Aaron and Micah LaPuma, Jessica, Paul, and Lizzy Lee, Ashley,
Brooke, and Emily Rozas, and Peyton and Allison Rozas; eight great-grandchildren, Joshua, Jacob, Ezekiel,
Kellie, Maya, Gabriella, Cody, and Allison; and one brother, Steven Suhm of Washington.
She is preceded in death by her parents, sister Judy Israel, and two brothers, Earl Israel and Allen Berzas, Jr.
Her family would like to express their extreme gratitude to the wonderful medical staff of 8 Tower at Memorial
Hospital, and Harbor Hospice, who compassionately cared for Ruth during her final days.
