She loved the music of her Mexican culture and enjoyed singing it at the top of her voice whenever the opportunity came up. Julia Olga was a spiritual woman. She was a devout Catholic and became an active member of the church community in Calexico and Oceanside, California. She always had a smile for everyone and was thrilled to share and teach what she learned from her Mexican heritage and religious studies.
