Margaret Alegria

The story is about Margaret Alegria, a remarkable woman born in Bisbee on May 11, 1943, to her loving parents. Margaret had a heart of gold and walked with pride. She loved many people regardless of their background or who they were, always extending a helping hand to anyone in need. She adored her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, cherishing her family above all else. She worked tirelessly for her loved ones, earning respect and admiration from many. Margaret’s love for her family was evident in her joyful cooking; she loved making big breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and her famous tamales—green corn tamales that everyone appreciated. Her doors were always open, and she never turned anyone away, sharing food generously and making everyone feel welcome. She enjoyed decorating for every holiday and birthday, making each celebration special, with her family’s happiness shining through. Her warmth and kindness shone brightest when she was together with her loved ones, celebrating every moment. Her tradition of making her famous tamales and hosting monthly birthdays brought joy to all. Margaret was a fighter—she fought hard to stay with her family for as long as she could. On February 9th, God took His angel home, and now she has her beautiful wings, reunited with her husband, son, and grandsons. She leaves behind her son Gilbert, daughter Adelina, grandchildren Nancy and Jerrimey, Eduardo and Lupe, Veronica and Arturo, Vidal, and her great-grandchildren—Erick and Amanda, Jessica and Jaime, Angelina and Brian, Reyna, Nevaeh, Yesenia, Jordan, Mariah, Joseph, Tony, Giselle, Shantel, Jayden, Jerrimey, Caesar, and Lyanna. Her love and legacy will forever live in our hearts.
