She was the strongest person we knew; the rock of the family. she raised her 5 children on her own as a single mother & never remarried. As a young women she loved to dance & hear music. She enjoyed to cook. The holidays were her favorite & she never skipped a year making her delicious tamales. Making her addicting tortillas from scratch was something she always did around the family, you could never have just one. She taught us many Mexican family traditions. In recent years going to the casino was a fun hobby she enjoyed very much.
For 12 years she had to going through many challenges while on dialysis plus beating covid in the hospital a few times. A fighter she was till the very end until she made the ultimate decision and said in her own words that she was tired and ready..
