Ursula Nieto “Dona Chulaâ€, affectionately known by many who knew her well had a positive and gentle spirit with a passion for life, her children and grandchildren. She loved to stay busy by sewing, gardening, cooking, baking and praying for her children and family. Only a month ago, she still attended her adult day care program where she loved her friends, administrative personnel, and would not miss playing loteria (chalupa) with them. She also loved to tell you a good joke and surprisingly would remember them well. She could recite many poems, prayers and her 31 grandchildren’s birthdates. Oh how will your good sense of humor will be missed by many that LOVED YOU!!
