Maria Perez Arellano

state of Zacatecas, Mexico. She grew up in Jerez and, for a time, in Guadalajara where she lived with her

mother Concha, her brother Liborio, and her sister Consuelo (Connie). She immigrated to the United

States in 1944, living first in El Paso, and later coming to Los Angeles. There she enrolled in an English

language class where she met Porfirio “Pilo” Arellano who, as it happened, was also a native of Jerez.

They were married in 1950 and made their home in Los Angeles. She worked for California Walnut

Company and for more than thirty years at the Modern Faucet factory. In 1969, they moved to a home

in Huntington Park where they lived for more than forty-five years. Maria was predeceased by her

husband and by her son Carlos Perez. She is survived by her children Rudy Perez, Richard Arellano, and

Martha Arellano Booe. She is also survived by twelve grandchildren and ten great granchildren.
