Margarita R. Vazquez, was the middle child of Braulio and Elvira Reyes. She was predeceased by her parents, brothers and husband. Margarita immigrated from Penjamo, Guanajuato, Mexico when she married the love of her life, Gabriel Vazquez, on April 24, 1949. They raised eleven children. Margarita was a dedicated homemaker and an amazing mother. After she raised her children, she prepared children for their first communion for 15 years, she volunteered at St. Benedict’s Social Services and for many years, prepared homemade food to feed the homeless, collected for various charities, and became an advocate for the homeless..
