She was born on July 18, 1934, in Berino, New Mexico, a small rural farming community. She was an extraordinary homemaker and a life-long resident of Anthony, New Mexico. Pita was a loving and caring mother, grandmother and friend that provided her children with continuous and unconditional love and support. She was our strong and loving foundation and streamed her positive energy to encourage her children's lives' dreams. She was a strong advocate of her children establishing goals to achieve higher levels of education. She strongly believed that anyone could work hard enough to achieve their goals. She loved and adored her grandchildren and taking care of them. Pita had a green thumb and could make anything grow. She loved gardening and tending to her rose garden and lawn and could take a bud and make it blossom just as she did with her children.
