She later went to work for Kern County Superintendent of Schools as a teacher’s aid in special education. She worked 26 years before she retired.

She wanted to give special thanks to her sister Dora, for taking care of her and to her great grandson Sean, for living with her and helping to take care of her.

She wanted to let all of her family know how much she loved all of them. Also thanks to Dr. Patel, Dr. Luis Cousin and Dr. Washington for their medical care of

her.

She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend. She always put everyone else's needs before her own. She suffered a lot during her last few years, and we are thankful that she doesn't have to suffer any longer, but we will miss her very much.
