Our beloved mother Francisca (Pachita) Alvarado passed away peacefully in her home, ten days shy of turning 90 years old. She is survived by her children Ramon, Elvia, Adelina, Miguel, Guillermina, Jacinto, Angelica, Cecilia and Zulema. She enjoyed being surrounded by her 22 grandkids, 22 great-grandkids and 2 step-great-grandkids. She was also deeply loved by both her sons and daughters-in-law and a numerous amount of nieces and nephews.
Our mom touched the lives of many through her faith, hard work, charity, sense of humor, strength and caring heart. Her hobbies were knitting, crocheting and making traditional Mexican dishes like Tamales and Enchiladas Potosinas. Her cherished memories were seeing the family together. She wore Family Picnic T-Shirts with pride.
She is now in heaven joined by her husband Ramon, her parents, siblings, daughter-in-law, and many other family members and friends. She will be deeply missed.
