Obituary

Sofia was raised in Tijuana where she attended elementary school. She worked in a factory in Tijuana until she retired. After retirement she raised many of her grandchildren. Sofia loved playing games including Uno and Monopoly as well as doing puzzles with her family. She also loved to cook for her family. Whenever she would hear music, she would start dancing. Sofia was a selfless person and always put everyone else's needs before her own. She was also a hero in many ways right up until the very end. Sofia was able to connect with so many people, even with the language barrier, and everyone loved her.

Sofia was preceded in death by her parents and one brother.

A Sofia le encantaba jugar juegos de mesa incluyendo Uno y Monopoly además de completando rompecabezas con su familia. A ella también le encantaba cocinar para su familia. Cuando ella oiría la música, empezaba a bailar. Sofia era una persona altruista y siempre ponía las necesidades de todos los demás en frente de suyas.
