She and her husband were long time business people, they started a grocery business in Lopeno, Texas and moved to Edinburg in 1946 where they opened a grocery store which became a familiar landmark known as "La Tienda Amarilla". During hard times they extended credit to customers and delivered the groceries to their doorsteps. It was truly a family business with their children participating in the daily operations of the store. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She was an inspiration to all her family and friends. She will truly be missed by her family and all those whose lives she touched.
