Mrs. Armida Rebecca (Aguilera) Gonzales, of Stockton, California, born on November 26, 1935 in San Bernadino, California, to Dominga Sarraraz. She passed away at the age 82 on June 20, 2018. At the time of her passing Armida was surrounded in love by her immediate family.
She was a devoted mother and grandmother who loved deeply and was filled with compassion and kindness for all that knew her. She worked as an LVN at San Joaquin General Hospital until retiring in 1998. She also worked as a para professional for many years in Stockton Unified holding down two jobs to support her family. She could often be heard saying "Love Never Fails" and "I love you too much." Armida had a passion for gardening, painting and arts and crafts and devoted many hours to her relaxing hobbies. Those who knew her know she loved hats and you could often see her wearing one of her many hats when visiting her family and friends. Another of her favorite past times was spending an afternoon at a local casino with family or friends.
Armida is survived by her daughter, Diana Rodriguez (Rene) her sons, Robert Flores, (Susie) Samuel Rincon, (Jerri) Jimmy Rincon, and Daniel Aguilar (Eileen) and her sister Esther Gonzales. She leaves 13 grandchildren, and 6 great grandchildren, and 4 great-great grandchildren.
