Obituary

Socorro was born July 23, 1926 in Los Angeles, California to Francisco Acosta Flores and Mercedes Limon Armenta. The Acosta family moved back to Cumuripa, Sonora, Mexico around 1929 then to Buena Vista and Esperanza, Sonora. In early 1946, the family moved to San Luis Rio Colorado, Sonora. Socorro worked at the Valley Café where she met Jose Casares. This union would produce 5 children. Socorro raised her family through tough times with help from her brothers, sisters and family friends.
Socorro was the oldest of the siblings consisting of Francisco, Eduvigis Rosales, Abraham (Justina), Marta (Justino) Ayon, Carlos, Jose (Ramona), Imelda Salcido and Juan (Eloina).
Socorro was predeceased by her parents, daughter Maria Elena (Malena) Degnan and son John. She is survived by sons Henry (Patricia), Gerald (Rose Anne), Jesse (Barbara), daughter Cristina Herrera, and son Luis Martinez and many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Socorro lived a life full of fun, laughter and food provided by her grandchildren, sons and daughters. She loved conversations especially when brother in laws Henry and Heriberto Casares would visit her. Socorro will be missed greatly, but will forever be in our memories.

Soy Libre

No lloren por mí, ahora soy libre… Sigo el camino que Dios marco para mí, cuando escuche su voz llamándome tome todo y me fui. No puedo quedarme otro día más para reír, querer, trabajar o jugar…Cosas quedaron sin terminar deben quedar así ese lugar al fin del día lo encontré. Si mi partida a dejado un vacío, llénenlo con recuerdos felices, buenas amistades y risas, estas cosas yo también extrañare. No se angustien en estos tiempos tristes, les deseo lo mejor. Mi vida ha sido completa, he gozado mucho, buenos amigos, buenos tiempos y mucho amor. Quizás mi tiempo fue corto no lo alarguen con más tristeza, eleven sus corazones y compartan conmigo. Dios me ha llamado y me ha liberado.
