Ana Manzano

Ana Manzano Alfaro born in Praxedis G. Guererro, Chihuahua, Mexico on May 4, 1940, to Justino Alfaro and Francisca Domínguez. Ana was a loving and caring mother and grandmother. As an adolescent, Ana spent the weekdays barefoot so she would not ruin her shoes in order to go dancing at the plaza on the weekends. She later met the love of her life, Juan Manzano, in the small town of Colonia Esperanza. On September 3, 1956, Juan picked Ana up on a white horse and they rode into town to get married. They started a family and had four children, one boy and three girls. Juan, who was the oldest, passed away at six months old. Ana is survived by her three daughters, Norma, Petra, and Maria. She was a young visionary in her small town, and had a dream with her husband to move to the United States. In 1971 Juan and Ana traveled to America. Neither one of them knew the English language but learned and worked hard to accumulate money to purchase their first home. After this purchase, they began to invest in real estate, which paved the way for their family to live the American Dream. Her daughters graduated high school and have held prominent careers. It was Ana’s vision as a mother from Mexico to see her daughters achieve the American Dream and start families of their own. Ana was also blessed with nine beautiful grandchildren. She was able to assist many of them and their dreams whether it is in business or life advice. She left a remarkable legacy one could only read about in novels. Ana achieved her dreams and lived a blessed life. Today, Ana is in no pain and is enjoying Heaven with Jesus, as she was always a faithful servant to The Lord Jesus Christ. Heaven gained a magnificent angel and she will be dearly missed by her family and friends.
