A kind-hearted and compassionate spirit, Socorro made daily life feel warmer and more welcoming. She was known as the best cook ever, and her home was welcome to all—an open door and an open heart that made family, friends, and visitors alike feel cherished.

Socorro also loved to tell stories, play tea parties, and collect photos—small treasures that reflected her attentive nature and her desire to hold close the people and memories she valued. In these traditions, she offered inspiration without fanfare, teaching by example what it means to live with grace, generosity, and enduring unconditional love.

Socorro is survived by her loving four granddaughters Maribel Rivas, Adriana Rivas, Lilia Rivas and Socorro Majano. She leaves behind 11 great grandchildren and 7 great great grandchildren to cherish her memory.

Socorro resided in Pico Rivera, California. Her legacy lives on in the family she nurtured, the warmth she extended, and the gentle, faithful way she moved through the world—beloved, cherished, and forever remembered.
