Rosa died yesterday, Tuesday 28 of March, after a short illness, surrounded by her family. She leaves behind her husband, Howard Hotson, and two of her three children.

Maria-Rosa was passionate about philosophy, passionate about her department and her colleagues, and passionate about her students. And she was a rock to her family. She will be so missed, a feeling reinforced by the suddenness of her death.
