EVANGELINA P. QUIJADA

February 16, 1939 – January 30, 2025

Evangelina "Eva" Perez Quijada was born on February 16, 1939, in Arivechi, Sonora, Mexico to Daniel Perez Granillo and Loreto Lugo Lopez.  She departed this life on Thursday, January 30, 2025 in the comfort of her home, surrounded by her loved ones, after a very short battle with leukemia.

She married the love of her life, Miguel Angel Quijada, on March 28, 1970, and came to the United States, where she lived in Mt. Lemmon, Tucson, San Pedro, Winkelman, and finally made Mammoth, Arizona her forever home.

Eva's family was her passion, immediate and extended.  She was a devoted Christian who had complete faith in God above anything else.  She was admired for her unmeasurable strength to get through difficult times.  She greatly enjoyed gardening, cooking, crocheting and sewing.

She is survived by her spouse, Miguel Angel Quijada, her children, Claudia (Victor) Rodriguez and Arturo (Alma) Quijada, two brothers, three sisters, eleven grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her two sons, Miguel Quijada, Jr., and Daniel Quijada.
