It is with profound sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ninfa Alvarez, affectionately known to many as La señora Ana de Casa Aztlan. A spirited and resilient soul, Ninfa left us at the age of 81 on March 5, 2024, in Pilsen, her home since 1965. Leaving behind a legacy of love, strength, and passion. She was not just a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother but a pillar of the community and a guiding light for all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Born on July 26, 1942, in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, to Pedro Ulloa and Amalia Triana
Beloved mother of Myrna Alvarez, Alfonso (Al) Alvarez, Maria (Cindy) Alvarez, Marco Alvarez, and Veronica (Ruby) Maldonado; her grandchildren, Phillip Flores, Marco Alvarez, Nicole Maldonado, and Josue Maldnado; and her great-grandchildren, Camila Maldonado, Tala Flores, and Chloe Maldonado. Each family member reflects Ninfa’s strength, passion, and commitment to making the world a better place.
A memorial service to celebrate Ninfa’s life and contributions will be held on March 16, 2024, at St. Procopius Catholic Church, corner of 18th Street & Allport Ave. Visitation begins at 11:30 am until time of Funeral Mass at 2 pm. We invite all whose lives were touched by Ninfa to join us in honoring her memory and the profound impact she had on our community and beyond.
As we gather to bid farewell to the matriarch of our family, we are reminded of the incredible journey of a brave young girl from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, who touched the lives of hundreds with nothing but courage in her heart and the determination to make a better life for her family. Ninfa’s legacy is an example of hope and strength, reminding us all of the power of resilience and the profound impact one person can have on the world.
Thank you, Ana, for everything. Your spirit will forever guide and inspire us.
