Mrs. Mendez was a cashier at the A & P Supermarket in Yonkers and previously was a teller at Regina Check Cashing & Financial Services in Yonkers.

She was a fighter. She worked hard for what she believed in and took care of anyone in need. Noemi was intelligent, loving, reliable and kind, and treated everyone with respect.
