She later moved to Utah in 1969 where she lived her remaining years with her husband Franciso (Pancho) Lopez and family.
She was a long time member of Christian Life Assembly of God. She was a woman of strong faith and she loved the Lord.

Our mom loved the mountains and outdoors and was happiest fishing by the lake “drowning worms”. She also loved hunting deer and elk and hunted into her late 70’s. She loved being around people and going to the local grocery stores and chatting with friends. She enjoyed helping the Latino community and was known by many as “La Chapara.”
Mom we love you and we are going to miss you.
