Francisca O Lopez

at the age of 90.

A devoted wife, mother, and nana, she dedicated her life to raising her six children with unconditional love, strength, and unwavering support. She poured her heart into creating a home filled with warmth, laughter, and cherished memories. Known for her delicious cooking, she brought everyone together around her table with meals made with love. Whether it was a holiday gathering or an ordinary day, no one ever left her home hungry. Her love for dancing reflected her joyful spirit, and she could light up any room with her smile and infectious laughter. She had an extraordinary gift to make everyone feel welcome. Her heart was always open, and she never hesitated to help those in need. Her kindness, generosity, and compassion touched countless lives, and her legacy of love and selflessness will live on through all who had the privilege of knowing her.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Ruben A. Lopez; her loving parents; and her cherished siblings.

She is lovingly survived by her six children: Guadalupe (Lopez) Medrano, Rosa (Cesar) Montes, Martin (Veronica) Lopez, Ruben A. (Maggie) Lopez Jr., Frankie (Sandra) Lopez, Barbara (Art) Kingman; 15 grandchildren; and 29 great-grandchildren.

Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing that her love, wisdom, and beautiful spirit will remain with us always. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

“A mother’s love is a gift that lives in our hearts forever.”
