She was an extraordinary woman! She was beautiful talented and compassionate. She came from a very loving and caring home. She was daughter to a Dr and loving housewife Remedios! She was a performer by birth. She excelled in everything she did. She would become an opera singer and a professional Flamenco dancer. She would get to be in a few films with John Wayne. She would marry an German American by the name of Richard. She would have 4 children. Roy, Amy, Bonnie, and Guy. She would move to The United States and raise her children. She would watch soap operas in English to learn the language. She would become thee best most amazing grandmother to 8 children shared between her 4 children. Bonnie has 5. Amy 2.

She will have died 7minutes before being brought back with all Drs efforts. She was told she would never walk again. Little by little she pushed to walk again. Most days she needed her walker. Others she would ask her grandchildren to help. She pushed herself like no one has ever seen. Determined and stubborn to prove others wrong. She had a loving family. In September 24th of 2002 her life would end very tragically. Early in the morning hours her life would be taken by her bf in a double Homicide Suicide.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
