Pina was loved by everyone; her sisters-in-law Mary Quiroz and Eva Morales, numerous nieces and nephews, and many friends and neighbors. Pina was the youngest of 4 siblings and was raised in Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco, México. After her marriage in 1955, she came to the United States and raised her children in Superior, Arizona. She was a dedicated wife and mother and lived her life for her family. She was proud of her Mexican heritage and instilled in her children the language and culture of her native country. She exemplified unconditional love, faith in God and humility. Words cannot express the void she will leave in all of our lives, but her goodness will stay with us forever.
