Yaya served as head of San Salvador's Church Bereavement, she also was a volunteer for Peter Luque Center in the food bank. Yaya served as P.T.A president for San Salvador School when her daughters were in school as well as volunteer as a room mom. She enjoyed decoupage, making wedding books, sewing, quilting, painting, crocheting, knitting, she was the best cook often making food for the San Salvador's food pantry. My parents have left a legacy for the family to treasure, honor and continue helping one another. She lived by "the more you give the more you shall receive".
