Lorenza Velasquez

July 28, 1914 — June 6, 2018

ELOY - Lorenza Velasquez, 103, died on June 6, 2018.

Mrs. Velasquez was born on July 28, 1914, in El Capulin, Guanajuato, Mexico, to Eugenio and Dolores Lancarte Diaz. She had been a resident of Eloy for the past 82 years and had been a farmworker. She enjoyed gardening, cooking, sewing, walking around Eloy and a little bit of carpentry.

She was a woman of faith. She attended Mass regularly, prayed constantly and was devoted to Santo Nino de Atocha. She had a quirky sense of humor and created sing-song phrases. She also enjoyed sharing stories of the past such as wartime in Mexico. She was a loving lady of God.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Zacarias; two sisters, Cruz D. Ramirez and Mary Flores, and two other sisters who died at a young age; and three brothers, Hilario, Guadalupe and Manuel Diaz. She is survived by her nieces and nephews.
