Lupita will be remembered as a very strong, willed, hardworking, kind and loving mother/homemaker. She was stubborn as can be. She'd say "I said no, I'm not going and when I say no, it's no because I say so". She believed in hardworking people and respected those who worked hard in/outside of the house.
She had 13 children. She loved to cook and feed her family.
Even though she cooked she'd give her own food away to those who did not get enough. She always put others needs first before her own, she could give her clothes off her back if they would ask.
She loved and had a heart for stray animal's or especially wild cats. She loved to house birds like doves and parakeets. Free rein flying birds were her favorite; she loved to watch them fly free up in the sky and would say she wished to be one of them.
