She was born on January 6, 1910 in Gomez Palacio, Durango. She is preceded in death by her husband, Manuel Ismael Davila. Carolina and Manuel Davila were married for 78 years.

She is survived by her children: Maria Elena Davila, Consuelo Pina, Manuel Davila, (Josefina), Rosario Richardson, (Nolan), Irene Davila, (Roberto), Mario Davila, Armando Davila, Hilda Davila and Ramon Torres, (Angelita). She is also survived by 18 grandchildren, 27 great grandchildren and 16 great-great grandchildren.

Our family was truly blessed when the Lord granted us so many wonderful years with our Mother and Grandmother. She will always have a special place in our hearts.

She always provided unconditional love, and care. Her wisdom and advice came from years of experience and the love she had for us. She was our mentor, our confidant and someone we could always depend on.

We will miss her beautiful smile, her eyes that always glowed with love, her encouraging words, and her prayers and blessing over our lives. We will greatly miss the many ways she made us smile and laugh; and especially her special sayings for all circumstances in life.

She told us not to fear, that she does not go alone. She told us that she is taking us with her, because of the love in her heart for us all. So this is a final THANK YOU for all that you gave to us. Your wisdom, guidance and encouragement. But most of all your LOVE! You were our very own special gift from God and so we thank the Lord above!

We will always love you.
