Lucinda “Lucha” Gonzalez, age 89 passed away on October 22, 2026, leaving a legacy of love, laughter, and devotion to her family.
Lucha was born to Timoteo Gonzalez and Maria de Jesus Gonzalez. On January 29 1937, she and Javier Gonzalez were united in marriage in Mexico, beginning a life together rooted in love, hard work, and devotion to their family. Her beloved husband preceded her in death on September 1, 2013.
Lucha had a generous heart, a wonderful sense of humor, and a gift for caring for those around her. Always busy, she took great pride in her home and found joy in Mexican music and preparing her family’s favorite meals. Cooking was one of the many ways she expressed her love, and she was happiest when she had someone to care for. Whether she was cleaning, cooking, or tending to the smallest details, she put love into everything she did.
Her love reached beyond her own children and grandchildren. To her nieces, nephews, and their families, she was a second mother, a cherished grandmother figure, and a trusted friend. She will be remembered for her laughter, her strength, her thoughtful attention to the smallest details, and the comfort she brought simply by being there.
Lucha is survived by her three beloved children, Josefa, Joel, and Javier Jr.; seven grandchildren; ten great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild. She also leaves behind her sister, Aniceta Alvarado; her brothers, Abdon Gonzalez and Pablo Gonzalez; and many cherished nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.
