She was an accomplished seamstress, having worked in Manhattan’s garment district. She loved to dance and often spoke of how she would go to the Roseland Ballroom with her friends. She enjoyed spending time with her family and cooking for them. She made amazing Salvadoran quesadillas (a family favorite) and a number of other delicious recipes.
