Raquel was born in Casas Grandes, Chihuahua Mexico on March 29, 1938. She completed her education and was a bank secretary and later a teacher in Mexico before she was married. After marriage she came to the United States and raised her family. She worked as a bilingual aide in classrooms and also in the school office for many years. After she retired from the school district she volunteered at Good Samaritan Hospital. There she was trained in medical terminology and became an interpreter. She did this job helping patients for 14 years. She was gifted in the art of knitting and crocheting. Not only were her family and friends blessed by her creations but she also donated many baby blankets to women's shelters and the Ronald McDonald house. Her joy was spending time with her husband, daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Raquel is survived by her husband of 59 years, Margarito, her daughters Laura and Carmen, her sons in law Pete and Nathan, her grandchildren Joseph, Monica, Cristal and Caitlin and her great-grandchildren Bria, Jaylen, Andrew, Sophia, Charles and Adrian.
The family wishes to extend their gratitude to the amazing staff at Americare Hospice for their support in her final days.
