A woman of few words, Nita had a profound impact with her pragmatism and touched the lives of all around her. Her greatest happiness came from spending time with her family and friends, bringing joy to their lives through her presence and love. Nita was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She was preceded in death by her parents, Dolores and Manolo, her brother Antonio, her sister Esperanza, her brother Manolo, and her beloved husband, Aurelio Munoz.
