In 1950, moved to Morenci, where she later met and married her high school sweetheart, Rodolfo B. Vega. She worked for the Morenci School District while raising her children. She was always with a smile and was generous, and available to anyone who needed help or just someone to talk to. She always volunteered with the Alter Rose Society, and anything the Holy Cross Church needed. She touched many lives and was loved in our community. She is an angel that will be missed here on earth. Until we meet again you will always be in our hearts.
