She was born in San Jose Agua Azul, Guanajuato, Mexico on October 22, 1934 – she was given the name of Nunila Vega Manriquez. Nuny loved life, loved her family, and loved her friends.

At a young age, Nuny moved from Mexico City to Tijuana, Mexico to work and study to help support her widowed Mother and brothers and sisters. In Tijuana, Nuny worked in many industries but cherished the times when she worked in the banking industry- where she met many of her long-life friends.
In 1975, she moved to San Ysidro, CA along with her three very young sons to start a new chapter of her life. In the early 80’s she married John Lewis and moved to Chula Vista, CA where she remained for the rest of her life with a brief stay in Queretaro, Mexico. Nuny worked in education as a teacher, teaching adults in the areas of Arts and Crafts and preparing them for careers in the Garment Industry. She also held certifications in the baking and confectionary fields.
Nuny had a passion for travel and accomplished many of her bucket list destinations. She touched many lives and made many friends. Nuny will forever be missed and will forever be remembered as a great Mother, Sister, Tia (Aunt), Grandma, and Friend. We miss you and we love you dearly Mom! We thank God for choosing you to be our Mother who taught us to be humble, honest, respectful, and to cherish life. God bless you Mom.
