Mary A. Audetat born February 7, 1918,passed away August 8, 2011. Mi Mama esta disfrutando en la Gloria de Jesus Christo! When she was asked who Jesus is? Her reply; He's our Lord! (Romans 10:9) Mary was born in Coahuila, Torreon Mexico. At a very young age she, her sisteR Josephine and their mother immigrated to the US through El Paso, Texas. After a short stay in El Paso they relocated to Albuquerque, New Mexico where she grew up. From there Mary and Josephine went to Los Angeles, California for a better chance at employment. One of the first jobs in LA was at a dry cleaner and laundry business. She then located steady employment in the LA garment industry as a sewing machine operator making belts. With this employment she single handedly raised two daughters (biological twins) Rachel and Esther. A second marriage to her present husband Ruben produced two sons Daniel and Rudy. Mary was able to provide a very good education for her children. Mary's education went only as far as the eighth grade so educating her children was very important to her. Mary instilled exceptional values in her children. Which will be treasured in their lives. Mary's last years were spent fighting the affects of Alzheimers. She is survived by her husband of over 50 years Ruben, daughters Rachel and Esther, a son Rudy, sisters Jenny and Maria, (cuca) brother sonny, and various nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her son Daniel, her brothers Freddie and Raymond, sisters Rachel and Josephine.
