Dominga Silva Aguirre

Dominga Silva Aguirre, 86, departed this earthly life surrounded by her family on Monday, February 20, 2017. She is reunited in Paradise with the love of her life, Alberto Aguirre, whom preceded her a little over a year ago to our Lord's Glory. She is survived by her sons, Jose Aguirre (Patricia), Juan Aguirre (Alitza), and Jorge Aguirre (Delia); daughters, Leticia Aguirre, Elia Aguirre-Siulok (Tiberio), and Maria Antonieta Aguirre-Acedo (Andy); 17 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. Though she came from humble beginnings and needing to help support her family, she entered the work-force at the young age of 14 years with employment at Cesar's Curios. Through her vibrant spirit and determined work ethic she quickly escalated her responsibilities and managerial duties to many other well known establishments on the historic Morley avenue in downtown Nogales. Her memory will forever be cherished as a beautiful soul whom was extremely close to her own mother. To her, family was everything and she was passionately devoted to her soulmate and partner, Alberto. As a widow she thought about her Alberto everyday eventually succumbing to her broken heart. She enjoyed many delights in life like the blessings of many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whom she sung to with old children's music. She had recently visited Disneyland with her daughter and found amusement in the "Small World" ride. She had the pleasure of great people around her like "sus muchachas" has she would call them. Her infectious charm was fun in that she was someone who enjoyed dressing-up on Halloween. She would love to plan to be with family and friends to celebrate the "Rosca" on Dia De Los Reyes or have tamales on Feb. 2nd. She loved to dance and her lady like charisma gave her the determination to never curse bad words. She enjoyed live plants like Rose flowers and she loved poetry and could recite it, "En vida hermano" was a favorite of hers. She was light-hearted in her transactions of business and was such an asset that by the time she retired from Capins Mercantile she could enlighten a fellow lady-patron on the proper brassiere to bust ratio just by looking at them. She accepted her in-laws and loved and admired all of her children's spouses has if they were her own. She never wanted to be the person to judge and would remain objective in family quarrels. Her laughter and smile will be forever missed but never forgotten.
