María Jesus González
Obituary
María Jesus González (Mary), from Watsonville, CA passed away peacefully on November 24, 2022, at the age of 89.
Widowed at 29, she fearlessly raised four sons with help from her mother and father, Trinidad García Farfan and Luciano Farfan. Mary worked at various jobs throughout her life: dress model, farm worker, cannery worker, office clerk, bank teller, and for the Santa Cruz Sheriff's Department. She loved nature, which she called her "church". Mary loved her garden and dogs and would drive just about anywhere to see her family. She often took trips to Calexico to visit family, bringing clothing, money, or advice. On holidays, she filled her house with family and friends, many whom had no other place to go. Mary never stopped moving forward or giving of herself.
She is survived by her sons Marcos (Linda) González, José (Cory) González, Rubén González, and René (Maggie) González, as well as eight grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.
