Myrna Elva Aviles

AVILES, Myrna Elva Born on March 8, 1963, passed away in L.A. on Oct. 9, 2008. She was loved by many for countless reasons, but everyone who knew Myrna marveled at her quick wit and delightful sense of mischief. Having Myrna at your side meant that laughter was guaranteed, and even the most mundane events would turn into something fun because of her presence. Her beauty and large and knowing brown eyes commanded your attention, but they were just the lovely exterior of a woman with a warm heart, generosity of spirit and deep compassion for others. Myrna loved life, travel, wining and dining at fine restaurants, and entertaining family and friends. We wish she had the gift of more time - for her and for us - but she lived a full life during her years on earth. Myrna was born in L.A., and raised in both L.A. and Diamond Bar. She attended Ganesha High School in Pomona, and graduated from USC. She worked at Kaiser Permanente in Pasadena as a Human Resources Director. Her intelligence won the respect of coworkers, but it was her fun-loving nature that delighted them. She was the best daughter, sister and partner a family could have. She will be sorely missed, most especially by her family and domestic partner. She will be in our hearts and minds forever. Myrna is survived by her father and mother, Hugo and Olaya Aviles, sister Mary Moritz and husband Ron, brother Hugo F. Aviles Sr. and his wife Irene, nephews Eric, Ryan, Andrew and Hugo Jr., niece Katalina, her loving domestic partner Pamela Wegner, and her longtime beloved canine companion Dexter. A rosary was held on Oct. 16, 2008 at 7:30 p.m. at the Forest Lawn Mortuary in West Covina, 1 (800) 204-3131. Funeral service will be at St. Denis Catholic Church in Diamond Bar at 10 a.m. on Oct. 17, 2008.
