She worked for many years at Alfredo Santos Groceries, Cavazos Insurance, La Posada Hotel, and she was a migrant farmer worker. She later married her loving husband on December 26, 1979 and later gave birth to her loving children. She was an extraordinarily strong and endured many life and death obstacles with her beloved children and grandchildren, but since she was a woman of big faith, God got her through every single one of them. She was like no other with a contagious smile, she would always be known to many and accepted everyone's children as her own and was known as Mom and Nana.
