She is preceded in death by her parents; her siblings, Charlie Sanchez and Evelyn Valencia; and her faithful furry companion of many years, Deuce.

She is survived by her children, Gene (Cindy) Atencio, Tim Atencio, and April (Matt) Thornton; grandchildren, Rachael, Erin, Wil, Tim John, Reece, and Nick; her siblings, Cordy Crawford, Phyllis (Ricky) Winder, and Kenny Sanchez; numerous nieces and nephews.

Private family services will be held at a later date.
