Margaret M. Aguirre, wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother slipped away quietly after surgical complications on December 8, 2017. A native of Laredo Texas, born on July 20, 1930 she was particularly proud of her family heritage as a descendent of the citys founder, Tomas Sanchez. She arrived in California as the young bride of Mike Aguirre, a World War II Army Air Corps service member stationed at Laredo Air Force Base. They had met by chance at a wedding reception after a friend of a friends attempt to provide more dance partners. Relocating to California, Margaret spent the next 71 years as Mikes wife and a loving mother to their six children. While Mike served again during the Korean Conflict, Margaret cared for their young children and volunteered for the Red Cross. As a 50s mom she stayed busy as a homemaker, scouting leader and number-one cheerleader of everything involving the education of her children. After Mike retired in 1989 she enjoyed the leisure of traveling in their motor home all around the country.
