She also leaves behind many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews who will carry her memory forward.
In her earlier years, she enjoyed gardening, spending time outdoors, and going for walks. She had a deep love for watching The Rifleman, and she never turned down a soda or something sweet.
Her great sense of humor and kind spirit often earned her the compliment, “You’re so cute!”
She had a special love for both Christian music and Coritos, blending faith and culture in the soundtrack of her life.
A devoted mother, she loved her family fiercely. More than anything, she loved God. A strong woman of faith, she lived her life with the blessed assurance that one day she would rest in her Lord’s loving arms.
She was the last of her siblings to pass, closing a chapter in a family deeply rooted in love and strength.
