She was a strong independent woman who demonstrated she strength and "go getter" attitude to her children. She loved her children, grandchildren and great-granddaughter. Her family was her pride and joy.

She was lucky to have found love when she met Renato Garza. Her love never wavered even as he suffered a heart attack and stroke. She stood by his side with love and care until his last breath was drawn.
