She was the loving wife of Theodore Gonzales, mother of her beloved animals, sister of Eleanor Nash, Angie Campa, Leon Vasquez, Gilbert Vasquez, Jesse Hernandez, and the dear departed Maria Correa.

Without question, she embraced everyone with open arms, hospitality, charitable gifts and generosity. Her smile and her strength enlightened our souls. Her perseverance, honesty, and kindness, was a mirror image of her gentle character and most importantly her heart. She was a woman who loved a special kind of love.
