She is survived by her daughters, Katie and Leticia; her niece, Doris; her five grandchildren, Leah, Vance, Yanelis, Jordan, and Sebastian; and her two great-grandchildren, Roman and Miles. She will be laid to rest alongside her beloved perrito, Chiqui.
When Tilcia was well, she was a pillar of her community and an active member of the Blessed Sacrament parish. Whether she was participating in Jolly Elders, attending the widows' program at Ft Bliss, or enjoying good times with family and friends, she lived life to the fullest. In her later years, she was cared for by Silvia and Victor who treated her like family along with the staff from the Good Life Nursing Home and Three Oaks Hospice.
Tilcia never lost her deep love for her homeland, Panamá, returning to visit as often as she could.
