Aurelia Soto

Aurelia was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She cherished every moment spent with the love of her life, Mr. Raul Soto, who preceded her in death just last year. Today, they are reunited for eternity.

Her favorite times of the year were Thanksgiving and Christmas, when the entire family came together.

These holidays brought her the greatest joy, filling her home with love, laughter, and the warmth of togetherness. Known for their deep commitment to their community, Mr. and Mrs. Soto were remembered for their faithful presence at nearly every funeral and rosary service, offering comfort and support to grieving families.

Aurelia had a heart of gold—always ready to love and care not only for her family but also for anyone in need. She was a strong, dedicated, and hardworking mother whose discipline and guidance made a lasting impact on her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She took great pride in the professional and educational achievements of each of her family members. Her eyes lit up most when she spoke of her beloved husband and her grandchildren. As a devoted mother of four, she raised her children with strong values, ensuring they grew up to become respectful, family-oriented, and contributing members of society. She taught them to work hard, live with structure and discipline, and to always care for others. Aurelia’s unique personality, her wise advice, and her unwavering strength will live on forever in the hearts of those who loved her.

Aurelia is survived by her four children, Irasema (Jose) Padilla, Raul (Sonia) Soto, Jr., Eduardo Soto, Rolando (Leticia) Soto; five grandchildren, Steven (Heather) Mendoza, Marc Soto (Kayla), Andrea Soto,

Joseph Padilla, Matthew Soto; three great-grandchildren, Natalie Mendoza,
