Obituary For Piedad Vega Gonzales

Born on July 19th, 1926 in Miami, AZ, and entered into rest on December 23rd, 2016 in Fremont, CA at the age of 90. Survived by her children: Martha Reagor (Martin Reagor), Patricia Cater, Ralphie Gonzales, and Michael Gonzales; son-in-law Ronnie Cortez; grandchildren; and great-grandchildren. Predeceased by her husband Refugio Gonzales; daughters: Gloria Cortez, and Nellie Brunette; and sons-in-law: Charlie Cater, and Edward Brunette.

Polly was a wise woman proud of her heritage. She lived for the love and respect of her children.

She favored her novellas and happily spent the day ensuring that her house remained tidy.

Her grandchildren fondly called her "Grandma Tortilla" as she was known to be the best flour tortilla maker.

She had such love, kindness, and respect for people. An unkind word never passed her lips. She was a true angel to our family.

Married at the age of 16, she celebrated 74 years of marriage to her husband Refugio -- a WWII veteran, honored in 2010 with the Bronze Star Medal.

She was a pioneer with more history than will ever be known. She leaves a great legacy to the Gonzales family and will be missed but our hearts remained filled with her love.

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, January 4th, from 5-8pm with a Vigil at 6:30pm at Fremont Chapel of the Roses, 1940 Peralta Blvd., Fremont, CA 94536. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Thursday, January 5th, 9:30am at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, 37588 Fremont Blvd., Fremont, CA 94536. Burial will follow at 1:30pm at Sacramento Valley National Cemetery, 5810 Midway Rd., Dixon, CA 95620.

Symantha A Reagor

She Walks in Beauty BY Lord Byron She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all thatâs best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes; Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens oâer her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express, How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. And on that cheek, and oâer that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!
