Second daughter of Enriqueta Lyles and Hilario Lopez Vasquez, Amelia was baptized on 26 March 1917 by Father Brocardus Eeken. Her Godparents were Isidro Garcia Jr and his wife Maria Lyles Galindo. Her maternal grandparents were Roberto E Lyles and Herculana Rivera; paternal grandparents, Bernardino Vasquez and Severiana Lopez.

Father M. Jimenez of St. Mary's Parish, Marfa, Presidio County was the celebrant at the marriage of Juan Carillo of Fort Davis, son of Jose Carillo and Francisca Dominguez, and Amelia Vasquez of Fort Davis, daughter of Hilario Vasquez and Enriqueta Lailes. Witnesses were Lorenzo Quintana and Petra.

Amelia was with her sister Nora at the HeadStart Pre-Kindergarten Graduation when a torrent of rain and tornado winds demolished the Community Center building where the group had gathered in Saragosa. The Lord received both on that fateful Friday night, along with her grandson Lucas and Rodriguez nieces: Libby Contreras, and Irma Garza with her infant son Lionel.
