A Grand Lady, Paternal Grandmother aka "Cuquita"

Maria del Refugio Canchola aka Nane, and her children, my dad, Carlos is sitting on the step, and my father's Uncle, Tio Reynaldo, next to Nane. Chelo, Richard, Celia, and little Emma holding her mommy's hand on the right. She passed away at about age three of pneumonia. She was just younger than Celia. Nane(Nah-Nee) was expecting my twin aunts, Alicia and Elena, who were born September 1925.


This photo was given to me by Dee Guenther, Uncle Richard's Daughter. She also gifted a photo of Nane's Father, Eufemio Canchola. See below.


More pictures to be added, once the download is complete...thanks for your patience. Many more to share soon.
