Edith Balais Rohleder Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Edith B. Rohleder passed away on Saturday December 19, 2020 in Houston, Texas. Her final weeks were spent surrounded by a family that adored her. Edith was one of 13 children, and spent her childhood years in Philippines. While vacationing in the Philippines she met the love of her life Scot Rohleder. They were joined in marriage on January 5, 1991 and spent more than 30 years side by side. 1991 is when Scot and Edith left the Philippines and moved to Alaska where they spent 20 years living in both Fairbanks and Anchorage. In 2011 Scot and Edith moved toward warmer skies and settled themselves in Fulshear, Texas. During her years in Alaska and Texas Edith was a model employee of Walmart. She retired from Walmart July 2018 with 20 years of loyalty and service. Edith was an incredibly strong, hard working woman who felt a sense of duty and pride. At 5foot Edith could accomplish anything she set her mind to do. Edith enjoyed traveling and sharing new experiences with her husband Scot. LasVegas, Paris and England were some of her favorite trips. She also enjoyed traveling to the Philippines to spend time with her dear family. Edith enjoyed cooking and had a flair for baking. More times than not you would find Edith in her kitchen watching a cooking show on TV or trying out a new recipe. Edith was a gentle soul. Reserved. She had a compassionate spirit and enjoyed taking care of others. Spending quality time with family both near and far was her true passion and delight. Edith would do anything in her power to help another in need. It was the sweet simple things in life that brought Edith solace. A hot cup of coffee, internet browsing on her computer, a phone call from one of her sisters, or the opportunity to make you smile. Quiet simplicity is what made Edith so endearing and unique. She possessed the extraordinary beauty of the heart. Edith is preceded in death by her parents Henry and Perpetua Catalla Sr. and two brothers Jaime Catalla and William Catalla. Sadly, Edith leaves behind her best friend and husband of 30 years Scot, 6 sisters Henrietta Falco, Emma Catalla, Evelyn Cunanan, Maribeth Hayes, Myra Duncan, and Sheila Marie Salazar and her sister in law Sarah Joyce, 4 brothers Henry Catalla Jr., Phillip Catalla, Eddie Catalla, and Jesus Catalla and 46 loving nieces and nephews. Edith had a special way of touching people with her charm. She has left an everlasting love within each of us here today and her family abroad in the Philippines. Edith led a memorable life and has left us with many fond memories of her.
