"Fina" was the beloved wife of the late Victor for 54 years, loving mother to her sons Victor of Emporia Kansas (wife Barbara) and Anthony at her home in Bay Ridge Brooklyn (wife Janet) and proud grandmother to Nicholas (Houston, TX), Gregory (Lenexa, KS) and Carolyn (at her home in Bklyn). Her parents Antonio and Josefa and sister Antonia are all deceased.

Born March 9, 1923 in Sada, Galicia, Espana. She has many wonderful cousins in her ancestral home of Galicia Spain.

She arrived in the U.S. in 1942 aboard a ship that had to take a longer route via Cuba to arrive in New Orleans LA. This route was required due to the threat from sinking by German U-boats along the east coast of the U.S. She became a naturalized citizen in 1949.

She was a strong and humble "Gallega". She worried first and foremost for everyone else, never asked for much attention to herself and never complained much.

She enjoyed her daily "jobs" of ironing, sewing, taking care of 'Snoopy' the family dog and maintaining the outside of her property in Bay Ridge Brooklyn. Living in a duplex house required walking many steps to traverse the multiple floors which she did with incredible ease for a woman of advanced age. The family and neighbors were continually amazed. She was still walking to buy her groceries up to Fall 2019. She loved cooking her tortilla de huevos every Friday evening and she loved her morning coffee. She loved conversing in Spanish with Carolyn who is an advanced student in Spanish and studying at Brooklyn College.

She has left a lasting legacy of great LOVE through her children and grandchildren.
