She walked in a quiet but enduring faith.  She was a beacon to her children, a strong, humble Christian woman who loved her Lord and Savior.

In previous years, she was a Deacon at her church and a volunteer at Las Yescas Elementary.  She loved cooking for her children and grandchildren and, as she would say, “for All My Children”. To all of us she was “Amá”.
