She was a beautiful singer and enjoyed playing bass guitar. She worked as a Legal Secretary for over 20 years. She loved spending time with her family, and watching her grandchildren play sports or talking to them on the phone. She always made them laughs by telling corny jokes. She also loved reading, gardening, and was an amazing cook. She was definitely the strong, silent type, but according to her Doctors, she was also, tough as nails. Serena was an amazing mother and grandmother. She always made sure her family was taken care of. She will truly be missed and always in our hearts.
She is survived by her children Kevin Decker and his wife Michelle Decker, Stacey Decker and Adonis Barela, and Christina Decker. Her grandchildren Danika Decker, Evangeline Decker, Trinidy Barela, Adonis Barela Jr, Nickoli Silva, Jarred Silva, and Kira Silva. Also by her sister Peggy Goains Engel, brothers Darrell Goains, and Dwight Goains.
She is preceded in death by her Mother and Father, Joe and Margaret Goains.
A memorial service will be held September 8th at 1pm, at Meads Mortuary, 36930 Irwin Rd. in Barstow, Ca. Food and refreshments will be served after the service.
