Mrs. Muniz was a graduate of Burbank High School and for a number of years worked as a Production Controller for a local Garment Factory. Later she worked for an Investment Company as a bookkeeper.

Elisa loved traveling and as a young woman toured most of Europe. Later, with her husband she visited most of the United States and toured Mexico and Canada. She was a self-taught gourmet cook and maintained a beautiful herb and vegetable garden.

Her skills with pottery and her birdhouses were a delight to see. She also created Baby Quilts for a number of her grand nieces and nephews.

Que Dios te guade Palomita.
