It brings us such sorrow in the passing of our Aunt Eileen Ovieda. She was born to Fred and Juanita Ovieda in 1944.

To know her was to love her. Juanita was a devoted Catholic to the end. Juanita was special to everyone she cared for, being mentally challenged it never stopped her. She was strong willed and determined.

She was always calling everyone to check on them day and night. She cared for all of us as babies, whether it was babysitting or cooking. She will truly be missed.

Juanita leaves behind her siblings Arlene Willson, Fred Ovieda Jr., Cecelia Mendoza, and Allen Ovieda. 

The funeral will be 11 a.m. Friday, June 6 at the Santa Barbara Mission, and following at Calvary Cemetery.
