Lupita was a devout Catholic who lived to serve not only her family, but the Church and the Lord as well. She was kind, generous, selfless, and a mother to all. Her daily prayers were always for the health and happiness of everyone around her. One of her greatest joys was to be a part of a group of parishioners at Our Lady of Sorrows Church who recited the rosary every morning. She will be greatly missed by her family and the Church community that was like family to her.
