Back in Porter Ranch, California Monica loved her cats, Tiger and Oreo. She was big on Women’s Rights. Her hobbies included playing games on her phone and taking walks with her cat. Monica loved spending time on the beach hearing the Pacific Ocean. She welcomed everyone who stepped into their home and made them feel loved and safe and treated everyone like family. She will be missed by all those touched by her beautiful infectious smile, infectious laugh and relentless compassion.
Monica’s wishes were that she be cremated with a private service for the immediate family. The family will have a Celebration of Life, to be scheduled at a later date.
The family wishes to thank you for your prayers, visits, cards and flowers during this time. Monica would have wanted you to do something for yourself (selfcare) in lieu of flowers.
