She is survived by her life partner, Niko Greven, who shared her life and stood faithfully by her side. She leaves behind her children: Sheila Hon (Erik Hon), Christina Ballard, and Richie Ballard (Maria Lule), along with Riley, her cherished and beloved dog, who brought her great comfort and joy.
She was a proud and loving grandmother to Catherine Escobedo (Marc Escobedo), Anissa Gamino, Eliseo Gamino, Xavier Gamino, Phoenix Ballard, Makenzie Hon, Mikey Ballard, Reeann Beck, Taylor Ballard, and Tyson Ballard. Her legacy continues through her great-grandchildren, Elisa, Marky, and Emilio, who brought light and happiness into her later years.
Her love extended far beyond her immediate family, as she lovingly stepped into the shoes of a mother and grandmother to many, embracing them as her own.
Family was the center of her world. She gave selflessly, loved fiercely, and created bonds that will endure beyond her passing. Her presence, wisdom, and unwavering love will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who were blessed to know her.
She will live on in the hearts of her family and friends, carried forward through the stories, laughter, and love she so generously gave.
