grandmother, and great-grandmother. She joins her husband Kenneth, brother Cecilio, sister Anita, and many family and friends in heaven.
Cecilia passed away peacefully on May 8th at the age of 84.
Cecilia was born on December 12, 1938 in El Paso, Texas. She lived a full life, and her legacy will
be remembered by her family and friends for generations to come. As a military wife, she moved
around the country with her husband and family.
