Survivors include her stepchildren Frank Quinteros, Bennie and Pauline Quinteros, Jose and Irma Quinteros, all of Temple, Nick and Anna Hernandez of Troy, Mary Muriel of El Paso, and Mary Francis Tallouzi of Albuquerque. Grandchildren she raised include Jack (Dora) Soto of Marlin, Ralph (Sandra) Quinteros of Fairfield, Ca., Margaret (Paul) Ramirez of Troy, Tony (Lety) Quinteros of San Diego, Ca., and Simon (Knellen) Quinteros of Brenham, Tx.

Also surviving are brothers Johnny Guana of Houston, Morris Guana of Lubbock and sisters Irene Perez and Jesusa Losaya from Lubbock. She is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
