Natividad, also lovingly known as, Nati, Pachala, Mama, Abuela, Abuelita, Grandma, Mama-Abuelita, among others was a very caring and loving person. She put the needs of others before her own. She was quick with a smile and a laugh. Some of her favorite things were candy, the Dallas Cowboys, novelas, fresh flowers, and mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Natividad devoted much of her time and energy as a caregiver to family members. Her husband passed away so for most of her life she was a single mother. She made clothes and always had food for her children. Family was her passion. She was a simple woman that had simple treasures - one of those being a treasure of family photos that surrounded her at home. This was all evidence of a full life filled with the simplest and most important treasure of all - LOVE.

The family wishes to thank all who loved and cared for her.
