It is with great sadness that the family of Erlinda Gonzales announces her passing on Thursday, May 10, 2018 at the age of 76. Erlinda will be lovingly remembered by her children, Monica Messner, Veronica (Herman) Lucero, Rachel Curran, Christine (Matthew) Black, and Arthur (Danielle) Lopez. Erlinda will be forever remembered by 18 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren, 4 brothers and 4 sisters. She is preceded in death by her parents, Juan and Carmen Gonzales, 2 brothers and 1 sister. Erlinda was a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and friend. With her lively personality and sense of humor, she brought great joy to so many lives. Those who truly knew Erlinda fell in love with her gracious heart and loving kindness. To the very end, she was concerned about everyone else and wanted to make sure her family would be ok without her. We will miss her dearly and knowing that she is in heaven with other family members brings us all great comfort. We await and look forward to our joyous reunion. A Funeral Mass in memory of Erlinda will be held on Saturday, May 19, 2018 at 10:30 A.M. at St. Agnes Catholic Church located at 1954 N. 24th St., Phoenix, AZ.
