Magda's memory will be cherished by her two surviving brothers, Armando and Ceferino and their wives; cousin Olga Barrios; her many nieces and nephews and all of her many friends in Guatemala, the United States and Canada.

Magda moved to Canada after her retirement 12 years ago, to follow her children to a new land of opportunity. Her greatest joy was to witness her children established in this great country and to gather all of the family for special occasions and holidays to enjoy the grandchildren.

Forever grateful to Victorian Order of Nurses for their guidance, care and compassion throughout this difficult time.
