Manuela was a fantastic storyteller, and her family absolutely adored listening to her tales. She enjoyed gathering with her family to play chalupa, even if it got a little competitive, she loved just remembering the good old days with her siblings. Manuela was the strongest woman anybody has ever met and always led with her Faith in God. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, who loved hard and loved everyone she came across. She made friends who shortly became family because how big of an impact she made that you couldn't help but love her. Manuela will be greatly missed, and memories will forever be cherished.
