The art world in Puerto Rico is mourning the death at the age of 79 of the dancer and choreographer of the Menudo group, rosita palmer. The cause was a heart attack.
After suffering a fall, the artist was admitted to a medical center for three months where she contracted Covid-19 and a bacterium, as confirmed by her daughter-in-law Inés Quintero Narváez, wife of her youngest son Rafael Nadal, 52.
“She was very well. She had a fall in a nursing home, where she fractured her hip. We took her to the emergency hospital at the hospital and although she did well from the operation, when we brought her home we realized that she had Covid and that She left the hospital with a bacterium. She had been in the hospital for three months, intubated, in the intensive area of ​​the Metropolitan Hospital. They revived her about four times, it has been a very intense period,” Quintero Narváez told El Nuevo DÃa.
The dance teacher from Puerto Rico taught classes at the School of Fine Arts of the Bayamón Mayor’s Office, in her native country, but left the job 5 years ago due to “emotional problems.”
Palmer was known for integrating, together with her ex-husband Mariano Montesitos, the duo Rosita y Mariano, which appeared on “El show de las 12” by Telemundo in the 1980s. The couple never had children and divorced in 2004.
His remains will be cremated and more details will be released about a mass in his memory.
Palmer is survived by three children with her first husband and five grandchildren.
