Six Children Erick Marroquin, Francisco Marroquin (Victoria), Luis Marroquin (Melanie), Ana Marroquin (Adam) Javier Marroquin (Taylor) and Leonel Marroquin. She always carried the memory of a lost daughter, Claudia, wherever she went.
Four Granddaughters Kaya Marroquin, Emma White, Aria Marroquin and Emilia White.

She loved flowers, loved to tell us stories about when she was young in Guatemala and loved being a mom most of all, for which she sacrificed most of her life giving birth to 7 children and raising 6.
