She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend to everyone she met. Petra was a special, selfless person that spent much of her life caring for others. Her greatest joy in life was caring for her children and helping raise grandchildren. She also had a passion for her plants and flowers. She was a member of Resurrection Catholic Church where she attended and raised her children.
Petra is survived by her 8 children, Jesus Manuel Basio and wife, Martha; Maria Elena Morales; Virginia Sanchez and husband, Oscar; Margarita Martinez; Josefina Duran and husband, Christopher; Jose Basio, Jr and wife, Gloria; Florencia Basio and Irene Alejandro and husband, Arturo; along with 29 grandchildren; 31 great-grandchildren and other extended family members.
She is preceded in death by her husband of over 60 years, Jose Basio; her parents, her 3 brothers, Jose Reyes; Julio Reyes and Leonardo Reyes; 2 sisters, Concepcion Reyes and Delores Reyes.
Petra is finally resting in peace and happy to have joined her mother and husband although she will be greatly missed by all.
The family would like to give a special thank you to her caretakers for the past 3 years, Señora Maria and Catalina Alcantaro.
Serving as pallbearers will be her 2 sons, Jesus M. Basio and Jose Basio, Jr., grandsons, Armando Morales, Jr., Daniel Morales, Gabriel Lozano, Oscar Sanchez, Arturo Alejandro, Jr and James Basio.
