Manuela "Abuelita" Palacios Obituary (1933

Manuela Palacios “Abuelita” passed away on Thursday April 30, 2020 in Provo, Utah, at the age of 86. She was born in Panuco, Zacatecas, Mexico to Rafael Palacios and Manuela Nieto on June 17, 1933. Abuelita lived to serve and was happy as a homemaker since her youth. Married to Juan Nieto at 12 years of age, her life perused shortly thereafter. Our Abuelita was a kind, loving, generous, and an angelic human being. Our Abuelita was the definition of charity. She would always put others needs before our own. She would resemble peace with her smile, spread love everywhere she would go, and would do anything to help to make others happier. Abuelita’s smile was the beginning of love. Her kind heart and listening ear are some of the greatest attributes we will surely miss. The great heritage that she leaves behind is that of love, kindness, and selflessness. Abuelita is survived by sons, Javier Nieto and Rafael Nieto; daughters, Consuelo Alonso, Maria Tweddie, and Angela Nieto; and all her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, May 9, 2020 at the Berg Drawing Room Chapel, 185 East Center Street, Provo, Utah. Friends may visit with the family from 12:30-1:30 p.m. prior to services. Interment, Provo City Cemetery. Condolences may be expressed at www.bergmortuary.com.
