Biography
Ana Romero was well known for a number of things
1. Outer Beauty
2. Color of her Beautiful Eyes
3. The Attitude and Strength
4. Home cooking and especially her Salsa Verde
5. Heart like no other
Ana's light complexion and beauty regimen might have been a great part of her appearance. Everywhere she went, even to just to go to the corner store, she was always ready to go out. With her beautiful combination of colored eye shadows, her makeup, and lipstick so elegant she always made a great impression. Once you met her close up, the first thing that was always noticed was the color of her beautiful hazel eyes. You could swear that her eyes changed colors depending on the clothing she would wear. She stood out, especially her eyes, with the colors purple and pink and she knew it.
Her beauty and elegance came so naturally just has her fierce attitude and strength came so naturally toward life and any situation. She was the eldest of her siblings right after the death of her oldest sister, making them a total of 8. Then 7 after the passing of her youngest sister Rosita.
For being the eldest, born in a Ranch in a place called La Salitrera in Guanajuato, Mexico, she learned very tough lessons at a very young age. She worked all throughout her life with no rest. She worked, cooked, and cleaned along side her parents and helped raise her youngest siblings. In a way she was their second mom. After 15 to 16 years of living in the ranch her whole family moved to the out skirts of Mexico City. There she learned about the fast life and the hustle that comes with living in a major city. She helped her father, mother, and few other siblings construct their first home there, to this day that home still stands. After moving there she was a very popular at the family business of selling fruit cups at a stand. She wasn't scared to take on any role to help out her family's income. There she met our father and continued on to a business of sewing uniforms for police officers. After years of working along side our father, they then risked their lives to move to the United States for a better life for them, their families back in Mexico, and for a better opportunity for their children. With all these events and great changes, her attitude became fierce, blunt, and straight forward. She took the bull by the horns every single time she was confronted by an issue of great magnitude. Her fierceness also reflected her inner strength. Her will to always push through the issues and move forward with the help of God was always an example to her children. She set the bar very high for us, but with her guidance, her advise and opinions, she taught us not to give up.
Because of the life style she lived and being the oldest she learned to cook at a very young age. She could make the most simple meal into the most delicious plate you ever had, such as tortillas con frijoles fritos, they tasted so good you would be wanting more. The most requested item at all parties was always her salsa verde con aguacate. If you never tried her recipe you missed out big time. There is only a handful of people she taught the recipe to and believe me, their attempt does not come close.
Ana had a love for others that went beyond our understanding. She also set the bar very high in that aspect of her life. She helped a lot of people during their time of need. To this day we are still being told new stories of how she has helped others. She would always put others needs first before her own, even if that meant that those same people she would help would one day turn their backs on her. She didn't help to one day be repaid, she did it out of Love, Compassion and because she was understanding the word of God more intimately with each passing day. She took Matthew 22:37-39 to heart "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
Her last question for God regarding servitude was literally asking him how she could serve him. His response happened a few months after in the form of caring for her father full time. She did say that she had the honor, privilege and the peace to serve God first and then her father with what was requested of her at the time.
Ana's shoes are very huge to fill. No one can compare or replace her in anyway just as no one can for my Grandmother Maria. They were both grand ladies in their own right. Most importantly they both believed in Jesus Christ and we can rest assure that they are both with our Heavenly Father.
