Timotea “Timmy” D. Lopez, a longtime Waukesha resident, died on Sunday, September 21, 2014 at home surrounded by her children at age 89. She was born on November 6, 1924 in the town of Sinton, Texas. She moved with her parents to Waukesha in 1941. She then went to vocational school to learn English. She then found a job at Waukesha Memorial Hospital where she worked for 35 years as a housekeeper.
She raised five children, one boy and four girls on her own. She would take the shirt off her back to help anyone in need, never complained, never judged anyone and never asked for help from anyone.
When she retired, she went on many trips to other states and out of the country. She was devoted to her church and God. She was also devoted to her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
She will be sadly missed by her children, Emilio (Carol) Juarez, Maria A. (Daniel) Monrial, Norma (Dale) Tuyls, Diane Martinez and Teresa Juarez. She is further survived by 23 grandchildren, 53 great-grandchildren and 11 great-great-grandchildren, by her sister Sarah Mesa along with other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents Nabor and Maria Lopez, her brothers Aquilino, Marcos and David Lopez and her sisters Teodora and Pabla Ramos.
The family would like to thank the 4NW nurses at Waukesha Memorial Hospital, the Rehabilitation Center nurses and also the nurses at ProHealth Home Care and Hospice for all the care they gave to Timmy.
