visit. Lita worked hard throughout her life and did whatever it took to provide for her family,
including working for the school department, working as a bartender and cleaning houses.
She is survived by her husband Cruz, two daughters Cindy Evans and Lisa Willson and son
Jaymie Harris, as well as multiple grandchildren and great grandchildren. Lita was predeceased
