She was a devoted Homemaker whose warmth and kindness touched the lives of all who knew her. In the late 1950's she worked for Pete Gallegos at the Old Green Café, following the Gallegos Restaurant as a devoted cook until retirement. On her spare time, she loved to garden, crochet, snack on cookies and Biscochos and have a few pina colada margaritas here and there and also loved to dance. Throughout her century- long journey, she dedicated herself to nurturing her family and creating a haven of love and comfort. Her legacy of selflessness, resilience, and unwavering love will forever be cherished by her family and friends. Though she may be gone, her spirit will continue to inspire and guide those she leaves behind. May she rest in eternal peace.
