Obituary
Elvia Rodriguez de Ramirez died peacefully on Oct. 29 at her home following a battle with a lengthy illness.
She was a native of Tamazula, Jalisco, Mexico but a resident of Watsonville for the last 63 years. Mrs. Ramirez was employed in a variety of fields including farm labor, cannery, seamstress and housekeeper, but her primary occupation was a homemaker and mother to her children.

Traveling and entertaining friends and family brought her much joy.

She is preceded in death by her mother Carmen Garcia; siblings, Alicia Saldaña, Rodolfo and Daniel Torres and one granddaughter.
