She was preceded in death by her parents, Fernando and Jacinta Morales; sister, Isabelle Montoya; brother, Jonny Morales; and her beloved son, Francisco Jaral.

She is survived by brothers, Fernando Morales, and Manuel Morales; sisters, Crestina Martinez, Florentino Cordova, and Linda and Lily Morales; daughters, Erma Diaz, Margaret Diaz, Maria Diaz (Dina J), and Becky Loredo (Robert); grandchildren, Elena Torres (Mike), Alonzo Vidaurri (Susan), Gabriella Vidaurri, Mikey Thompson, Jasmine Zapata, Jesse Zapata (Precious), Kali Jaral, Jalissa Jaral , Cacelia Jaral, and Cloey P.; 16 great grandchildren; one great great grandson; and numerous nieces and nephews who loved her dearly.

You did not see her shed a tear but you would always see her praying. You would not hear her whine about what she did not have but you would always hear how thankful she was for what she did have. A woman of great faith. This woman was the queen of our family. This is a woman who dreamed of winning the lottery not for herself but so she could get her family everything they needed. If she knew you, she knew your birthday; she was the one always calling to sing Happy Birthday to you on your birthday. This was the woman who gave you her last to make sure you had what you needed. Everyone was family to her. No one was a stranger. She was not judgmental or afraid but always caring and loving. She would always speak the truth even if the truth hurt – HA HA HA. She was an amazing woman. We love her more than you could ever imagine and she will be missed dearly.

“Jefitas de las jefitas – we love you always and forever may you rest in peace and paradise always.”

Special thanks to Seventh Day Adventist Church, Micheal and Vanessa. and to Hospice worker, Savannah.
