Amelia was born in Mexico on January 13, 1937 and married her “sweetheart darling,” Esequiel Mora, in San Diego on January 11, 1958. They moved to Oceanside in 1960 where they settled into the Eastside community and raised four children.
Amelia’s true passion was working with kids. She retired as a Teacher’s Assistant at Laurel Elementary School with over 30 years of service where she was loved by all faculty, staff, and students who came in contact with her. When Amelia wasn’t working, she was taking care of her family. Amelia helped raise her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Amelia would do anything for her kids, from picking them up from school, taking them to events, or buying them whatever they needed. She had a heart of gold and loved spending her free time with her extended family. She was always most happy when surrounded by children and was a significant influence and role model for family, friends, and youths in the neighborhood.
Besides her children, the love of her life was her husband of 62 years, Esequiel P. Mora.
Amelia and Esequiel were the perfect couple. They did everything together, from traveling, bowling, entertaining, or just enjoying each other’s company. Together, Amelia and Esequiel traveled the world. They visited the countries of Turkey, Spain, Japan, and Mexico. They also traveled throughout the United States to include Hawaii on many occasions.
Amelia is survived by her husband Esequiel P. Mora, children Esequiel Jr. (Anna) of San Antonio Texas, Myrna Mora-Rivas, Arturo Mora, Elvia (Rick) Levrier of Oceanside, 12 grandchildren, and 19 great-grandchildren. A celebration of life will be held Thursday, January 30, 2020 at 1:00 p.m. at Eternal Hills Mortuary Chapel.
