Virginia is also survived by her furry friend of many years, her dachshund, Fisher.

Virginia was preceded in death by her loving husband of 67 years, Hector Guzman, her sister Francisca Carrasquillo, her sons Louie and Roy Guzman, and her granddaughter Gina Ortiz.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to the selfless, loving and caring team at Hope Hospice who aided in the care of Virginia for the past year.
