She was a devoted and loving Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and friend. Her kindness and compassion touched the lives of all she met. Everyone was her sweetie and she was loved by many. She unselfishly shared her young spirit with all her grandchildren; while imparting on her family her wisdom and love. She was a teacher of spirit and wisdom. She is survived by her husband of 51 years Constante Prieto Diaz and their four children: Jose Antonio Lopez Diaz; Constantino Lopez Diaz (Paula); Jose Manuel Lopez Diaz (Sharon); Marina Diaz (Rodney C Lowry). She is also survived by her sister Emilia Silva here in Winnipeg and Emilia's daughters Rosabela and Diana.
