Obituaries

Orbelina Huezo was born in the town of San Pedro Puxtla, El Salvador on April 1, 1912 and passed on August 8, 2016. She was preceded in death by her husband Francisco Javier Huezo and is survived by her son Alberto T. Huezo; daughter in law Maria; grandchildren: Alex and Cristina Huezo; and great grandchildren: Max, Michaela and Mateo Grudin. She is also the proud “Tia” of the children of two sisters, Rosa Romero and Rhina Maurtua.

Orbelina loved to dance and taught many of her family the Argentinian Tango, she loved romantic guitar music and danced happily to Colombian cumbias. She also loved reciting poetry and her most loved poem was “Reir Llorando”.

Family was the most important interest in her life and she became a mother figure to many of her nieces, nephews, cousins, and other family members. She loved spending time with her grandchildren Alex and Cristina and jointly with her husband Francisco, provided them with weekend outings in and around San Francisco during their early childhood.

She now joins her sisters and Mama Trini in heaven and by now has told them about newer family members they didn’t get to meet and has probably already given them nicknames.

There will be a private burial Friday and a memorial service on Saturday.

Flowers are not necessary but in lieu, please consider donating to her favorite charity, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
