Elvira was born September 24, 1929 in Jalapa Veracruz Mexico, to Manuel Huerta and Concepcion Ramirez. She and her husband moved to California in the 1950’s to raise her family. Elvira worked hard to become a registered nurse and worked at prominent hospitals in the San Gabriel Valley, CA. She was very close with her co-workers and was esteemed as a great friend and confidant until her retirement. She retired after 34 years of nursing.
She loved her family and was a dedicated mother, grandmother and wife. She enjoyed hosting all the major holiday dinners and everyone enjoyed staying at grandma’s house, any chance possible!
Elvira was preceded in death by her parents, sons Joe and Julio Zaragoza, her sister Rosa Jones, and brothers Manuel, Alfonso and Jose. Survivors include her daughter, Maria Cordova (Jesus) and son, Guillermo Zaragoza, 8 grandchildren, Guillermo, Jonathan, Ruben, Marla, Joey, Joshua, Vicky and Francisco. She also had numerous great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
We love you, we will miss you, and we thank God for your amazing humor, love and unlimited hugs that you gave us!
