Our Mother was VERY proud to have been the ONLY one of all her siblings to graduate from Tucson High School class of 1964 and was a very PROUD Badger. She loved dancing, parties, and bingo (until vertigo didn't allow her to anymore), and spending time with her family. Going for her Mother / Daughter Day outs consisted of mani / pedi's, eating afterwards and followed by DQ every time! Anytime she saw you at a party, she ALWAYS asked if you had already eaten, because she made sure you had a plate of food to eat or take home. She loved going everywhere she was invited to until it was too hard for her, She LOVED her family and friends.

Our Mother drove a school bus for TUSD for 30 years. She started in 1979 and there she made MANY friends that became family. She loved playing spades during her breaks, and they had many potlucks for it. Thank you all at TUSD Transportation for loving our Mother.

Momma was Catholic and loved reciting her Rosary daily. She prayed for everyone. Our Mother had such a BIG heart and had so much compassion for everyone. She was an avid sports fan of the Arizona D'Backs and U of A Wildcats and always cheered for the 49'ers because "Baby Girl" loved them. She also cheered for her Son's favorite teams as well. She was everyone's BIGGEST cheerleader! She loved cheering for anyone in her family that played sports. She loved going to watch them play until her illness' finally took over and didn't allow her to go to many places, games or recitals. She would have everyone call her to tell her how they did with their games, hoping they won and if they didn't, she would STILL tell them how very proud she was of them.

Momma, you will FOREVER be greatly missed and hope you know how very much you were loved by all. Forever in our hearts- Madre, Suegra, Abuelita "Bolita", Tia, Cuñada, Nina, Amiga… Thank you to Handmakers of Tucson and especially TMC room 457 ICU Staff and Doctors. If anyone would like to wear her favorite color, "violet purple" or "lavender", please do so.
