Olivia Noriega (Jimenez) Obituary

Published by Allen Brothers Mortuary, Inc. - San Marcos Chapel FD-1378 on Jun. 20, 2014.
Olivia Noriega (Jimenez), 91, entered into eternal rest on Friday, June 20, 2014 at 5:20 am at Tri City Hospital in Oceanside, CA. She was surrounded by members of her family and passed peacefully. Olivia was born on October 24, 1922 in a small mining town in Miami, Arizona and is the daughter of the late Jesus and Edwina Elias. She was the eldest of 5 siblings that include; Armida, Raymond, Violet and Cecilia. She then moved to Central California where she started a family of her own and raised 12 children. Olivia is survived by her 9 children; Tom Jimenez of Oceanside, Raymond Jimenez of Stockton, Joe Jimenez of Modesto, Robert Jimenez of Temecula, Ernest Jimenez of Modesto, Charles Jimenez of Modesto, Rick Jimenez of Escondido, Olivia Jimenez of San Diego and Samuel Jimenez of Modesto as well as 30 grandchildren, 71 great grandchildren and 15 great-great grandchildren. She was preceded by death by her eldest son Paul of San Marcos as well as her son Frankie and her daughter, Shirley Ann. Olivia was a very kind and gentle soul. She had a loving and generous heart and was always giving to others. Olivia loved all shades of the color green. In her early years, she enjoyed playing sports, mainly softball, dancing, shopping, listening to Mexican music, crocheting, knitting, doing puzzles, sewing, painting, eating sweets and in her later years, sitting and looking out into the ocean. Her signature gift of life was shown through her laughter and entertaining sense of humor that was contagious to all those that were fortunate to be in her presence. Throughout her life, she maintained a sweet and simple demeanor that won the hearts and respect of many. Olivia was a woman of strong faith, believing in the power and strength of Jesus Christ's love and in the beauty and peace that would await her after her passing. Family and friends are welcome to attend a viewing and mass service for our beloved Olivia Jimenez on Monday, June 30, 2014 from 10 am -12 p.m. at St. Mark's Church, 1147 Discovery Street, San Marcos, CA, 92078. A reception of celebration will be held directly following the mass at the Parish Hall directly across from the church.
