She was born in Cd. Juarez, Chihuahua on May 11, 1934. El Paso was her home for over 60 years; she relished being a proud American with an affection for Mexico. She was a woman of great strength and fortitude navigating complex life barriers with grit and determination. Her greatest joy was family unity; her superpower was interjecting humor when least expected. She graced her children with wisdom and powerful lessons throughout her lifetime.
She is survived by her children: Samuel Aguilera Jr, Rita Chapman, Tony Aguilera, Gloria Aguilera Terry, Melissa Aguilera Martinez and Abel Sullivant whom she affectionately called “la alma de mi corazon.” She is also survived by 6 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren and 2 great, great grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her daughter Rose Sullivant and husband Samuel Aguilera Sr.
Services will be held at Funeraria Del Angel Central, 3839 Montana Avenue, on Saturday, April 9th from noon until 3:00pm, with Rosary at 1:30pm.
The family wishes to extend our sincere gratitude to Green Mountain Hospice.
