Joco enjoyed camping with her family and friends, trips to Needles with Rene and wiener roasts with her grandchildren.

Joco started her fight with cancer in 2014.   It was in July of 2018 that she was admitted to the hospital and where she succumbed to cancer.  She fought a long and courageous battle without ever a complaint; and would always say it’s in God’s hands. 

Words cannot express how Joco (mom) appreciated all the love, support and prayers she received from her family, friends and the community.
