Felicitas Rubio Zamora Obituary (1929

Felicitas Rubio Zamora was born in Tequesquitln, Jalisco Mexico on September 11, 1929. She was the daughter of Eulogio Zamora and Carmen Ibaez. She has 9 sisters and 1 brother; 7 of which have preceded her in death. Jos Rubio, the love of her life, spotted her as a young girl with a braid and blue bow in her hair, while playing hide-n-go-seek. He caught her and never let go. They were married on the 29 of March 1944. A few years later they relocated to Tijuana, Baja California where they raised their son and three daughters. They lived there for 18 years running El Tlaquepaque, a small family diner. It was also during their time there that they became members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Felicitas was sealed to Jos in the Los Angeles Temple and then the family was sealed in the Mesa Arizona Temple. In 1962, she relocated with her family to Provo, Utah due to the business opportunity to operate El Azteca Mexican Restaurant. She, with her husband and children, were true pioneers, as one of the first Mexican families to establish roots in Utah County. Here they made their family complete when their youngest son was born. Felicitas worked side by side her husband, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren at El Azteca for more than 50 years. Throughout the decades she has nourished hundreds of people with acts of generosity, service, love, and delicious cuisine. Her tender hands lifted, supported and sustained anyone who crossed her path. She is preceded in death by her husband Jos Rubio and her son Heriberto Rubio. She is survived by her children Martha Diaz; Virginia Revuelta; Lilia Rubio; Carlos Rubio; her sisters Teresa Zepeda and Juana Moreno; as well as 18 children, 40 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
