Margaret E. Lucero

Margaret was a confident, strong-willed woman with a personality all her own. She knew how to appreciate herself, and anyone who knew her could imagine her looking in the mirror and saying, with her signature confidence, “Y qué bonita” and how beautiful she was. Those words were more than just a saying; they were a reflection of the woman she was: full of spirit, character, and confidence.

Above all, Margaret loved her family. Her daughter, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were among the greatest joys of her life. She treasured the time she spent with them and looked forward to every opportunity to make more memories together. She especially loved playing cars with her great-grandson Azuriah and watching Elias navigate walking; sharing in the simple moments that became precious memories. She was always excited about the thought of welcoming more great-grandchildren into the family, a reminder of just how much her family meant to her.

Margaret enjoyed the things that brought her happiness, whether it was playing bingo, visiting the casino, or getting up to dance. She had her daily routines, too, and rarely missed watching The View and Jimmy Kimmel. She also looked forward to the family’s monthly dinners, when everyone could come together, share a meal, catch up, and enjoy one another’s company. Those gatherings were a special part of her life, and the memories made around the table will continue to bring comfort to those who loved her.

Margaret was never one to keep her thoughts to herself. She loved giving advice and sharing her opinions, always bringing her own perspective to the conversation. Her strong personality, familiar routines, and unmistakable way of being, made her who she was. She leaves behind not only the memories of the moments she shared with her family, but also the little things, her sayings, her laughter, her advice, and her presence; that will be deeply missed.

Margaret was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Ocariz Jinzo and Lupe Jinzo, whom she now joins in eternal rest.

She is survived by her beloved daughter, Sabrina and husband Ben; her grandchildren, Jozious and wife Natalya, Mallena and boyfriend Mathew , and Reuben and wife Bethany; her great-grandchildren, Azuriah and Elias; her sisters, Virginia and Renee, her nieces and nephews; and many cousins and friends, all of whom are part of the family legacy she leaves behind.

Though her family must now learn to navigate life without her, Margaret’s love will remain woven into their lives. She will live on in family traditions, in the stories shared around the dinner table, in the joy of watching the next generation grow, and in the memories that bring smiles even through tears.

Her family will forever carry a piece of her with them; her confidence, her strength, her love, and her unmistakable spirit.

Rest peacefully, Margaret. You were loved more than words can say, and you will never be forgotten. Y qué bonita.
