For decades Socorro made her home in the Barrio, where she nurtured and lovingly embraced generations of family. She was not just a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, abuelita "Abue", godmother, aunt, cousin, and caring blessing to many, she was the trusted heart of her expanding immediate and extended family. Plus, of many friends and children she cared for in past years with devotion. Her enduring spirit for care and aid to family, sharing her wisdom and many life lessons has left a legacy of the values, beliefs and gifts of the love she expressed directly in her actions. Socorro always stayed true to her name "Socorro", meaning "help, aid and relief " in Spanish. With the name origins from "Nuestra Senora del Socorro", translating in "Our Lady of Perpetual Help". This displayed in compassion, mercy and supporting one another. Be it in faith, family and care with empathy, compassion, and love. Having also in this family, expressing that help and aid at times with challenging spirited wisdom, to learn from ones life lessons and those she also shared in kind.
