She is survived by her significant other, John Richard Hill, who stood by her side with unwavering love and support, her children, Alfred Lopez (Everette), Alberto Lopez, III, Juan Perez, Tomasa Hill (Bryan), Tinia Lopez (Gary Cornelison), Christi Goeke, and Denise Jenkins; her siblings, Theodoro Salinas and Lupe Montalbo; her beloved grandchildren, Jasmine Deal (Christian), Ariel Hill, Briana Hill, Reagan Lopez, Alberto Lopez IV, Layla Lopez, Ella Lopez, Joshua Lighthall, Kyle Lighthall, and her great-grandchild, Ezra Carson.

Tomasa was preceded in death by her parents, Israel and Tomasa Salinas, her husband Albert Bueno Lopez, Jr., and her brothers, Estandslado "Tiny" Salinas and Israel Salinas, Jr. Their memories will forever be cherished as part of her legacy.

Tomasa Salinas Lopez's kind spirit and loving heart will be sorely missed, but her legacy will continue to live on through the countless lives she touched. As we remember her, let us carry forward the values she instilled in all of us: love, kindness, and a passion for family.
