Dora attended Zavala Elementary, Allan Jr. Hi, and Austin High School, served in the US Army, and graduated with Honors from the University of Texas. She taught school at San Jose Catholic School and later was employed by UT and the State of Texas.
She was the eldest daughter of eight children, Dora was lovingly known as "Auntie" to her siblings, their children and grandchildren, she was also known as "La Chulita" to
her brothers and sisters and large extended family and relatives. Dora was like a second mother to us all and a lifelong teacher to her younger siblings, nieces and nephews. To her family and friends, Dora was always a willing listener and supporter in times of need.
After a lifetime of hard work Dora was independent and self reliant, yet lived very modestly, the only exception being the selfless generosity which she lavished on her family. Dora loved to read books, avidly following online political news, and selecting educational gifts, books and magazines to give her family, especially the latest crop of nieces and nephews. She was also known to occasionally indulge her sweet tooth by claiming the last piece of apple pie.
Although a very shy and dignified lady, Dora relished taking on anyone in an energetic political discussion/debate. Dora was very well-read, cultured and intellectual, but most of all deeply connected to her humble roots, and she had a wicked sense of humor. Dora was comitted to many human rights and social justice causes, and loved the fine arts, especially opera and classical music, and Mexican traditional and folk music. Dora will be very missed and cherished in our hearts always.
