A hardworking and dedicated individual, Paulita spent over two decades working tirelessly as an agricultural labor contractor, arranging work opportunities for countless individuals in her community. Her commitment and diligence in this field touched the lives of many and set an example of hard work and determination.

Beyond her professional endeavors, Paulita was a devoted mother and grandmother whose love knew no bounds. She found joy in the simple pleasures of life, excelling in the kitchen as she prepared delicious meals for her loved ones. In moments of leisure, she would often be found crocheting, watching old Western films, or enjoying episodes of the classic television series, Bonanza. Paulita could also be found spending time at the slot machines, as she would always say, “Let’s go try our luck at the ching-chings!”
