Graciela was born in Guadalajara, Mexico on June 3, 1961 to Salvador Estrada and Clementina Silva. She later met her partner for life, Heriberto Gallardo, at age 17, and then married soon after on March 16, 1979.
Graciela enjoyed cooking, dancing, and most importantly spending time with her family. She always kept a positive attitude and would never complain. Her smile that would light up a room and her upbeat personality that would instantly make her the life of the party will never be forgotten.
She always placed everyone's feelings before hers and would do anything in her power to keep her family content, as a matter of fact, Graciela decided to battle her illness on her own because she felt she would be a burden had she told anyone.
Graciela is survived by her husband, Heriberto Gallardo; daughter, Erica Zuniga; two sons, Heriberto Gallardo Jr. and Mike Gallardo; and several grandchildren who brought much love, joy and laughter in her later years.
