Frances and Rodolfo had been married for 57 years. Their faith in God and love for each other allowed them to surpass any obstacle that came their way. They have celebrated so many accomplishments with their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and their many godchildren.

Frances firmly believed in taking care of others and gave back to her community by working at Home Health Aging, Southeast Medical Center, and Companeros.
