Antonia was born on June 13, 1932 in La Sara, Texas. She was the child of immigrant parents. Her father was a Villista that was fleeing Mexico. He kidnapped her mother from the river while she was washing laundry by the river. Family lore tells of how he horse whipped her into submission. They had sixteen children; seven survived. Antonia was the youngest.
She was an independent soul that was filled with joy and laughter. She was loved by many, but sadly misunderstood by her own family. She is greatly missed.
