Perez, who passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on April 6, 2024 in Brawley at the age of 94. Daria was born November 28, 1929 in Pabileros, a small ranch in the municipality of Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico, to Pablo and Juana Hernandez. She was raised in Pabileros where she met and married the love of her life, Francisco Perez in 1947. They relocated to Mexicali, BC in 1955 along with their three oldest children. Once settled in Mexicali, the young couple welcomed their additional 5 children. Daria and her family immigrated to the United States, settling in Brawley in 1973 where she worked as a migrant farm laborer alongside her husband and family. Daria was a member of the United Farm Workers Union and participated in many marches and rallies led by Cesar Chavez back in the 1970's. She enthusiastically shared her "La Huelga" stories with her family with great pride. Daria retired from field work in 1986 and transitioned to seasonal work in packing sheds throughout the Imperial Valley, becoming a member of the Teamsters Union, until she officially retired in 1994. Daria enjoyed family gatherings, cooking, and making tortillas for her family. She was fond of waking up early and taking long walks before coming home to tend to her plants and her birds.
