She was born March 2, 1957, to Robert and Mary Gomez. Leticia was raised and went to school in Santa Clara, California.
After being engaged in her teens, Leticia married the love of her life. She was a loving and devoted wife to her husband Arnold Amaral, for 49 years. Leticia and Arnold wanted to start a family early. Their children, Robert, Lisa and David meant the world to them.
Although she loved road trips and outdoor activities with family and friends, Leticia's favorite role was that of a grandparent. She treasured her time with her grandkids and baking Portuguese pastries for them.
She is survived by her husband, three children, five grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
Leticia's life seemed too short to many, but those who were touched by her know that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time she spent with us. She will always be remembered for her big "Gomez smile", and her warm, friendly personality.
