She had many, many family and friends who loved her. She loved to dance, listen to conjunto music, and she loved hanging out with her friends at the Elvira Cisneros Senior Community Center. Lupita Listened to everyone who needed to talk, often gave advice (even when unsolicited), and helped everyone who needed it. Her doors were always open, everyone knew the house on "Mayfield" because she never turned anyone away. She was the Matriarch of the "Rios klan" also known as "La Mera Mera". She adored her Grandchildren and said, "you didn't know true love until you become a Grandparent". To know her was to love her. Her children, Laura and Eddie are going to miss her terribly.
