Maria Regina Valadez De Leon, a resident of Watsonville for 44 years, has died. She was 78.
Mrs. Valadez De Leon was a woman of many wonderful traits. She was a very strong and highly intelligent person and was always willing to help and support others, whether they were family, friends or strangers.
She loved her elephant figurines, which she said were for good luck, and enjoyed going to the beach as she loved the ocean.
She is survived by two sons, Gilberto Valadez and Arturo De Leon Valadez.
Mehl’s Colonial Chapel has been entrusted with the funeral arrangements.
