Juliana Llanas was born in San Luis Potosi, Mexico on April 12, 1931 to Preciliana (Coronado) and Pedro Ramirez. She married Epifanio in 1949 and 14 years later came to Shafter where they raised their 8 children. Juliana was a woman of God, a devout catholic and a member St. Theresas' Grupo de Oracion . She was "Mother" to all of her children, grand children and great-grand children. Her cooking was her love next to serving the Lord. She welcomed everyone with open arms, a smile on her face and a warm heart. She was a very patient in all areas of her life. Juliana even nurtured every plant as if it was a member of her family, always concerned her garden would be watered when she was away.
