Alejandro, Maria Guadalupe “Pita” (née Ornelas) passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 28th, at the age of 73 years. Graduated from St. Procopius. She retired from Panera. She enjoyed spending quality time with all her family. Loved dancing, bingo, playing slots, enjoyed her instant “scratchies” tickets and indulging on sweets.
