Rocio was born on September 15,1971 in Guadalajara, Jalisco to Salvador and Guadalupe (Arce) Reyes. Rocio married her husband Ismael on December 30, 1990.

Rocio was a devoted wife, mother, grandma, and friend.  Her greatest  joy in life was to be with her family. She had a special relationship with her only grandchild Joziah who will miss his  "Atis" dearly. Although her life was short, her memory is eternal. She will always be remembered as a very caring, thoughtful, and spiritual person who was always willing to lend a helping hand. She had a great sense of style and would love to dress according to the occasion. Her contagious laugh will always be remembered by all that met her.

She is survived by her husband Ismael Contreras of Mendota; one son Ismael "Milo" Contreras of Mendota; one daughter Mayra (Ismael "Pito") Pagan of LaSalle; one grandson Joziah Pagan of LaSalle; her mother Guadalupe of Mexico; 6 sisters, 3 brothers and many nieces and nephews.
