Louie, along with his wife Manica, blessed Carol with three grandsons—Angelo, Anthony, and Adam—who were the joy and light of her life. Her son Dominic, together with his wife Sabrina, brought Carol immense pride and happiness.Carol was a cherished sister to her three brothers and three sisters. Her brother Robert Chavez and his wife Ruth, her brother Rudy Chavez and his wife Diane, and her brother Steve Chavez and his wife Cecilia shared a lifetime of love and memories with her.
