Concepcion Gallardo was born in Rancho de la Bellota near Nogales, Sonora on December 10 ^th , 1938. She was one of nine children born to Juan and Carolina.  She married her love, Alfonso Gallardo Sr., on January 1 ^st , 1966. Our lovely mother, wife, and nana was referred to as "Conchita" and "Connie" by her close friends. She was the best role model as demonstrated by her service in the church as a Guadalupana and love for her family and her community.

She is survived by her husband of 54 years, Alfonso; daughter, Sonia (Daniel) and son, Alfonso Jr (Anna). "Nana Concha" was a beloved grandmother to grandchildren, Matthew, Kristina, John and Marlisa.

She will be greatly missed by everyone that knew her. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. All will remember Nana's tamales and Mexican cuisine. Her hospitality welcomed everyone into her home.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to CareHaven Trejo, Assisted Living Facility, and all of the loving caregivers who worked tirelessly.

Donations may be made in memory of Concepcion Gallardo to the Alzheimer's Foundation (www.alz.org).
