Born in Koblenz, Germany in 1941, to parents Johann and Rosa Hohl, youngest of 4 siblings, she grew up in Koblenz, and at 18 she met and married an Army soldier, Amador Escamilla. She came to America and received her citizenship, something she was very proud of. She worked for the school district in New Mexico, and several jobs throughout her years. Married for 47 years, she moved numerous times in 20 years, finally ending in Killeen, Texas. She raised 3 daughters, Irma, Diana and Rebecca.
She was all about traditions, and how to have fun, and a lot of tough love and wisdom to share. She was an unfailing source of strength for her entire family, up to her very last moments. She never turned anyone away in need. A true friend to all, and taught us all the importance of family and love. She is dancing in heaven, pain and worry free.
