Leaving Mexico to start a home in Houston, she chose to make family her priority. At the center of a beautiful family, she never failed to make everyone feel at home the minute they walked through the door. A devout Catholic, she loved going to church and lived her life as a woman of God. She loved cooking, sewing, and caring for her family. Her strength lied in her heart and soul which you could feel through her touch and taste through her home cooked food. No one ever left her house hungry! If you didn't have a second plate you simply weren't done eating yet. She will forever be remembered as a loving wife, beautiful mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and a wonderful woman. Her memory will live on forever in our hearts and that is a true testament to the incredible life she led. She will be deeply missed. Her family would like to express our gratitude for the love and kindness everyone has shared with us during this difficult time.
