Consuelo Nogales Davalos, 88, of Calexico, passed away on Sunday, April 1, 2018, from complications of heart disease.

Consuelo was born in Azusa, California on August 17, 1929 to Felipe and Maria Davalos. She married Antonio “Tony” Nogales on July 15, 1951 and they made their home in Calexico where they raised seven children.

Consuelo was an extremely devoted mother to her four daughters and three sons.

In addition, her strong Catholic faith and loyalty to Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church was well-known and admired by all who knew her.

Consuelo was preceded in death by her parents; loving husband, Tony; her sisters Enriqueta, Maria and Concha, and her brothers, Armando and Felipe.

She is survived by her daughters, Ana Maria Nogales-Till (Mike), Irma Cecilia (David Hostetter), Emma Guadalupe (Frederick Origel) and Olga Celina Garcia (Robert); her sons, Jose Antonio, Felipe Jesus (Susan) and Juan Rodolfo; 28 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren, and many cousins, nieces and nephews who will sorely miss her.

In addition to her large and extended family, Consuelo was deeply loved and treasured by her many neighbors and friends in Calexico and Mexicali.
