She also showed her love through cooking and, in her younger years, aspired to become a chef. She spent many hours of her life preparing and cooking meals for her ever-growing family.

She is survived by 10 siblings, 7 of her daughters, Priscilla Rodriguez and her husband, Ruben, Suzanna Perea, Amanda Gonzales, Vanessa Flores and her husband, Stephen, Alisha Gonzales and her husband Jeremy, Pamela Jobe and her husband, JJ, and Ashley Swain and her husband, Joel, as well as 20 grandchildren, and 4 great-grandchildren.
