Luz Maria Munguia Obituary (1956 - 2024)

Luz Maria Munguia "Lucy", 67, departed to her heavenly home on March 06, 2024 after a courageous battle with Rheumatoid Arthritis and a lung transplant. Her devotion to her family and her firm belief in God supported her in her struggle and ultimately gave her peace. Lucy was born to the late Manuel and Esperanza Barbosa, a provider and homemaker respectively, in El Centro, CA on May 16, 1956. She was full of compassion and love that would influence many people throughout her life. She was a wonderful wife, mother, daughter, and sister to her family. Lucy was blessed with a loving family. She married her best friend and only love, Carlos Rincon Munguia, on April 16, 1977 in El Centro, CA. Lucy helped raise her two children with patience, discipline and humility. She taught them to love God, love family, and fully trust in God's Word. From the very beginning, she dedicated her children to God and encouraged them to explore the beauty of God's love for the world. Lucy was a disciple of Christ at heart. She was attentive to people's hearts, their wellbeing, spiritually and physically. She was always ready to stop whatever she was doing to help another soul. She is dearly missed by her loved ones, who celebrate the fact that she is at peace with The Creator. She is preceded in death by her sisters, Delores, Estella, her brother Jose, and her parents. Lucy is survived by her Husband, Carlos; her sons Carlos and Emanuel, her grandchildren Nadia Luz and Elliot Munguia.
