Raquel Munoz Obituary
She was born on September 21st, 1935, in Sabinas Hidalgo, Nuevo León, Mexico. After coming to the United States, she confidently navigated a foreign country, learned the language, and proudly made it her home.
All who knew her will remember her as a faithful, Christian woman who was always helping those in need. Her wonderful sense of humor went with a contagious laugh, and she always kept a positive disposition no matter the circumstances.
Raquel enjoyed gardening and spending time outdoors. She is survived by her children Rita (Neil) Getz, David Muñoz, and Rachel Striggow, and Scott Striggow, grandchildren Amanda, Neil Jr., Jonathan, Nancy, Scott, David, and Thomas, and great-grandchildren Matix, Autumn, Nora, Marcie, Cole, Theodore, Cooper, Violet, and Lyla. She is preceded in death by her husband of 55 years, Dr. José Armando Muñoz, and her son Joseph Armando Muñoz.
The funeral ceremony will be conducted at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Toledo, Ohio, on Tuesday, February 17. The viewing will commence at 11:00am followed by the service at 1:00pm. In lieu of flowers, please donate to your favorite charity.

We´re sorry to hear of Raquel´s passing. There will be days when your mother`s absence will be a the loudest silence ever.
May your days of silence be minimized as you surround yourself with the love of family and friends... reminiscing of her life´s journey on earth, her legacy and commitment to you and your families!
Peace be with you!
