Herminia was a nurse's aide for many years at River Bluff Nursing Home and when she retired went to work as a door greeter for Walmart. Her motto was "keep moving", she felt that working kept her mind active. She was an avid gardener and loved working outdoors during spring and summer. Herminia was known and loved by all those who met her. When she first moved to Rockford, she was an interpreter for many Hispanics who only spoke Spanish. Many of those she helped remained close friends throughout her life. She loved her family and always placed God first in everything. We love you Mom/Guela and will miss you every day.
