Dora was a very loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. On 7 Jun 1943, she married the love of her life, Amado, in Agua, New Mexico.

She taught her family a lot about the power of commitment, the importance of family, and how to get by in a less than perfect world. She had a heart of gold and a smile to warm everyone's heart. She was loved by many, and will be greatly missed.
