Carmen Calderon Quintana, March 13th, 1930 – April 14th, 2020. “Carmelita” was a caring and giving person. She was a woman of strong faith and belief. She loved a good laugh and telling jokes, albeit dirty jokes. She loved music and dancing and was known to do the occasional dance on tables during the holidays. From her time as a physician’s assistant to her days helping raise her grandchildren and great-granchildren, Carmelita was always there for family, friends, and even strangers in need. Whether it was a place to sleep, a “plato de comida” or a “taza de cafe” mom’s door was open. She will be sorely missed but remembered with all the love, joy, and happiness she gave to us all. Te queremos mucho Mami!
