Lupe was and still is a cherished person who was known for her kind and loving heart. She was a loving mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, spouse, and friend. Her children and grandchildren were the light of her life, and she loved spending time and caring for those she loved, listening to music, planning parties, and playing loteria, and puzzles. She was also known for making the most delicious food. It didn’t matter if she knew you her whole life or just met you yesterday, you would always be welcome, she was the type of person who always made you feel like you were at home. She was headstrong, funny, and always down for a good time.                                                                          

Lupe was a beacon of kindness and the type of person that we should all strive to be, she will forever reside in our hearts, and her spirit will live on through the love she so willingly shared.

Mass will be held at St. Peters Catholic Church, in The Dalles. Thursday, September 26th at 10 am.
