Helen Baiza Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 17, 2024.
Helen M Baiza aka Angel La 45 passed away on April, 15,2024. The same day 48 years ago that she gave birth to me her daughter Tina. Angel leaves behind her father Tony who is 99 yrs old, sisters Cec and Nani, brothers Tony, Raymond, and David. She also leaves behind her two kids Michael and Tina. My mom had a ton of grandkids and 12 great grandkids. She helped me raise Michael, Veronica, Angelica, Monica and Isabel who meant the world to her. Her other grandkids are from my brother Mike which are Gordan, Maggie and Aunesty. Maggie and my mom had the cutest bond. She use to laugh at me because I had more grandkids then her. Jayden was her first great grandson and she always said she wanted to be called The GREAT. My mom had a lot of friends that miss her very much. She was loved by many. She was the biggest Raider fan we all knew. I use to laugh all the time watching her watch football because she would always call the plays, flags and penalties before the refs. I use to ask how she knew so much about football and she would always say she was blessed to grow up with 7 brothers. Her favorite sport teams were LA Lakers, LA Dodgers and of course Raiders. Her heart was big. She made sure she called or text EVERYONE for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays everything!. Growing up with her was hard but I learned how to survive and be strong. Our house was always open to anyone and she always made sure they ate. My mom was born in Downey, CA that is where her roots started and many memories to be told. Angel is now at peace and no longer suffering and will be met in the afterworld by her twin Michael, Vic, Paul, Freddy, her mom Fina and Aunt Pita plus many more. Angel was and always will be one of a kind. Love Tu mija

I remember so much and your beautiful smile, laugh, we did that so much. Talking about our lives way back, family, grandkids and just being really good friends. I miss that so much with you . There is not a day I don't think about you and missing you so much as I know your family does as well. You brought so much into my life and taught me as well. I miss cooking and you just enjoying it . My grilled cheese sandwich you were like yesterday bring me one and I did. You were honestly the best friend I ever had and I miss that so much.

GMA I know I´m writing this a little too late but I honestly didn´t know what to say as I was lost for words. I remember the day I meet the family on LayLay´s birthday I knew this was my forever type of friends/family that I felt welcomed in your home. Tina and you always made me feel loved with those big hearts. GMA you always made me laugh with your silly self you and there wasn´t a day that you didn´t msg me those good morning/goodnight messages and now I don´t get them and let me tell you I miss those so much. I remember you asked me one year around Xmas time mija they have this tool bag at Walmart purple I need it could you buy me one since you work there I said yea grandma I got you and when I came to you with it you said awww mija thank you I love it you never know what you´ll need this for you were so happy. Or you would call me and say mija does your mom have shampoo, detergent for us we need some you know because she knew we had the hook ups lol and I would say yes grandma I got you and the last time I brought over a load of personal hygiene/laundry detergent your eyes got so big and you oh mija thank you and your mom so much that´s going to last us a good while. Ugh GMA when are you going to call me to say Mija how are you doing or msg me good morning again I miss that so much. I promise you grandma I will look after Tina as you would always say to do so I promise. I love you Grandma Angel rest in paradise I got your buddy´s back por vida mama por vida. "Raiders"

I've known Helen forever, the good old Rowland Heights days.
Helen has always had a heart of gold and beautiful. Actually, all the Baiza family share this trait. God don't make ugly.
I will miss our phone calls. We would check-in on one another and Helen calling for updates on old RH friends. Her heart was big and she truly cared about others.
I'm sorry I could not be there today. Rest in Peace Helen.
Love, Cathy Marquez-Montoya

Oh My! What can I say? She was a great friend, my best buddy, my neighbor. She was so funny but yet honest in her feelings that is something that is rare these days. We talked, laughed and just enjoyed each other's company. We took care of each other, she had a heart of gold and always talked about life and family. I miss her so so much She was only a year older than me so we talked about our different growing ups and just enjoyed talking. Everytime we talked we would just laugh she brought so much love, laughter and showing me what family truly is. She is one of a kind and there will never be another like her I can honestly say. My friend fly high and be at rest with the Lord and family you talked so much about. You will be healed and not suffer anymore, but remember we all miss and love you so much my best buddy .
