Mrs. Hinojosa was a member of St. Anne’s Catholic Church and was especially passionate in decorating the churches alter with flowers that she would arrange herself. She enjoyed most of all caring for her husband and cooking for family and friends on Sunday afternoons where”Merienda” were always a must because “Tia Berta” expected company.
