Today, was the birthday of my maternal grandmother, Anita Recio, @ age, 36. She was born in 1900. The above photo is Anita with her two children, Albert and Elena.
This photo is Anita with her sister Amada, on the left and she on the right of her. Her only brother, Felix, Jr in on the front row on the left. C.1916.
Anita was a very happy and energetic personality she loved to dance and sing and laugh a lot.
She had beautiful dark natural curly hair. She was a lovely young woman and took very good care of herself. She was always there for us when there was a new baby born. She would come to take care of us when our mother was in the hospital. She also traveled to be with us when there were important events, like graduation, weddings, etc.
I remember she also came to Utah from California with my own mother, Elena when I had Tracie, my fourth baby when they both flew on an airplane for the first time. That was quite a milestone for her being seventy-one at the time. I will always be grateful for her coming at that time in my life.
Family was always important to her, and my mother. She left us a rich heritage for which we are proud to be her descendants.
