Our beautiful mother was born in Ojinaga Chihuahua to Pascual Zuniga Olivas and Ana Josefa Urías. She grew up in a small suburb outside Ojinaga known as El Paradero. Working the fields and harvesting my grandfathers crops was a very important part of their every day life. Losing her mother at the age of 2yrs old and having only her father as the only parental figure in her life was a trying time.

As well as her three great grandchildren Tatiana Tamez, Marcus Aureliusz Tamez, Adalee Tamez
