Mrs. Villa was a member of Our Lady of Angels Catholic Church for over 70 years where she practiced her faith and passed it on to her children; taught them the values of honesty and hard work and a devotion to God. Wed in 1949, she dedicated her entire life to her family, always keeping them in prayer and assisting them with their needs. Special holiday gatherings were always hosted by her to maintain the love and unity among all her family members. Bingo was a must at gatherings as she enjoyed the game very much and everyone knew to come prepared to play. Our mom will be greatly missed, leaving a tremendous void in our lives. We thank God for the gift of her life and know that she rests in His arms enjoying the fruits of her labor and faith.

We express our heartfelt gratitude to our “Tia Mague”, who daily for many years was by our Mom’s side unselfishly dedicating her time to our Mom's well-being and care. No words can express our family’s appreciation and love towards her; may God abundantly bless her endless love and generosity, a huge “Thank you, Tia”.

The family would also like to extend a special note of gratitude to Francisco Torres MD, who played a vital role throughout her care, developing a special bond with her and making her feel like family.

Pallbearers will be: Jason Villa, Zachary Rubiola, Alan Rubiola, Nathan Linares, Lauren Linares and Jaden Sauter.
