Born June 2 1950 in Fresno, CA, she was the eldest daughter of Dora and Lloyd Gonzales. Although known for her
creativity, passion for hand crafts and love for dancing, she was most passionate and devoted to her family.
She helped her family through their most difficult times providing a home and assistance to them when
they needed her help. Although born with a congenital heart defect and other health issues, she never let it
slow her down and she never gave up living the best life she could.
She is survived, missed and loved by her son Joseph, sisters Valerie and Lynnette,
brother Joseph and many nieces and nephews.
