Maria Elena Trejo Gonzalez was born in Zacatecas, Mexico on August 5, 1940. She was the daughter of Rito Trejo and Maria Gudalupe De Los Santos and one of their seven children. Maria Elena moved to El Paso in the1960s and in her early years, she spent roughly 10 years as a nanny living in El Paso, Texas, Honolulu, HI and Los Angeles, California. Maria Elena met the man that would become the love of her life, Policarpio C. Gonzalez in the early 1970's. Together they settled down in Wasco, CA and had three children together: Elizabeth (Gonzlaez) Garcia, Daniel T. Gonzalez, and Mariana (Gonzalez) Sobolewski. Maria Elena worked very hard to provide for her family and spent many years working for the former Superior Farming Co, Sun World and Bear Creek. Maria Elena was also a very devoted and faithful Roman Catholic and spent some years providing catechism to children who lived in the Shafter Labor camp during the late 1980s. Maria Elena became a U.S. Citizen on July 17, 1995 and was very proud of this accomplishment. When Maria Elena wasn't working in farm labor, she loved to spend time with and caring for her seven grandchildren. Maria Elena also enjoyed gardening, cooking, baking, sewing and also considered herself a proud American who chose to speak English over her native language. Maria Elena was affectionately known as "Darling" by all grandchildren and as well by many other loved ones.
