She was easygoing, warm, and welcoming when you first met her. What stands out, even now, was her memorable smile accompanied with a calm, comforting presence layered over a quiet strength and steadfastness.
Sometimes your moments with her were witty, playful, and funny - at times leaving you speechless. Other times, you experienced her gravity of precision and decisiveness, especially if she felt someone close to her was in need of understanding, support, and advice in a way that only she could deliver.
Ever patient, hard-working, and dutiful, she was the foundation for a stable, grounded home for her family. Somehow, within, she sheltered an infinite well of forgiveness for her free-spirited children. “Super Lola” always made sure you never went hungry. Naturally generous, kindness for her meant finding joy in the act of giving.
Throughout her life, regardless of what difficulties she faced, she remained humble, diligent, and devoted in faith. She was a silent strategist who enjoyed word games and puzzles. As the months progressed, she found her peace, and ultimately engineered her last moments at home.
