Posted By Simplicity Funeral & Cremation Care On November 27, 2019 @ 9:23 am In Obituaries | 23 Comments
Erlinda Mendoza, querida esposa, madre, abuela, hermana, tía y amiga falleció tranquila y en paz en su casa de Chicago el lunes 25 de noviembre a los 76 años. Erlinda nació el 17 de enero en La Puerta de Jaripitiro (Huaniqueo, Michoacán de Ocampo, México), hija de Ismael Madrigal y Elvira Zavala. Se casó el 5 de enero de 1958 con Fidel Mendoza. Se mudaron a Chicago, IL en 1967.
Erlinda trabajó tiempo parcial en El Hogar del Niño antes de iniciar tu trabajo de tiempo completo en Halo / Cooper Lighting. Ella era un pilar de su comunidad, y su cocina nunca estaba cerrada para los que necesitaban una ayuda. Siempre se sintió aceptada y querida en su comunidad de Pilsen y frecuentemente se encontraba caminando por su barrio. Erlinda era una persona muy amistosa y sociable y fácilmente inspiraba confianza.
Ella y Fidel siempre creyeron en un buen trabajo y en la importancia de una buena educación. Ellos dedicaron su energía para garantizar que sus hijos siempre tuvieran un hogar seguro, estuvieran bien alimentados y atendieran a sus estudios todos los días. Sus ejemplos de determinación incansable llevaron a sus seis hijos a obtener grados de educación superior más allá de la escuela secundaria.
Por medio de sus historias y sus cuentos maravillosamente expresados, dieron vida a su pasado de su historia familiar y ciudad natal.
En su comunidad, Erlinda era conocida por tener un remedio casero y el toque curativo para todo. Sus amigos y familiares con frecuencia acudían a ella antes que cualquier médico para tobillos torcidos, articulaciones dislocadas y dolores estomacales.
Uno de sus pasatiempos favoritos era usar su creatividad en la máquina de coser. Ella podía hacer ropa para ella, su familia y otras gentes. Era una Abuelita devota que disfrutaba pasar tiempo con sus 13 nietos y es recordada con cariño por su habilidad de tener siempre algo listo para ofrecer en su cocina.
A Erlinda le sobreviven su esposo Fidel Mendoza, sus cinco hijos José (Sandra), Magdalena, Baltazar (Gabriela), Salvador (Mia) y Jesús, y 13 nietos. Le precede en muerte a su hija Socorro.
Ella será profundamente extrañada por su familia, amigos y todos los que tuvieron la suerte de haber compartido un momento con ella.

Erlinda Mendoza, beloved wife, mother,grandmother, sister, aunt and friend passed away peacefully in her Chicago home on Monday, November 25th at 76 years old. Erlinda was born on January 17 in La Puerta de Jaripitiro, (Huaniqueo, Michoacán de Ocampo, Mexico) to Ismael Madrigal and Elvira Zavala. She was married on January 5, 1958 to Fidel Mendoza. They moved to Chicago, IL in 1967.
Erlinda worked part-time at El Hogar del Niño before entering the labor force at Halo/Cooper Lighting. She was a pillar of her community, and her kitchen was never closed to those in need. She loved her Pilsen neighborhood and was often found taking long walks in the neighborhood. Those lucky enough to encounter her knew just what a social butterfly she was. If you weren’t already a friend, you quickly became one.
She and Fidel firmly believed in the importance of education and hard work, and they devoted their energy to ensuring her children were always safe, well fed, and attended school every day. Their examples of tireless determination led all six of their children to obtain degrees of higher learning beyond high school.
Her elaborate stories, paired with her wonderfully expressive face, brought to life tales of her hometown and family history. From sprained ankles to dislocated joints to tummy aches, Erlinda was known to have a home remedy and the healing touch for everything and her friends and family frequently went to her before any doctor.
One of her favorite pastimes was being creative on the sewing machine, making clothing for herself, her family and others.
She was a devoted grandmother who enjoyed spending time with her 13 grandchildren and is remembered fondly by them for her ability to always have something cooking on the stove.
Erlinda is survived by her husband Fidel Mendoza, her five children Jose (Sandra), Magdalena, Batlazar (Gabriela), Salvador (Mia), and Jesus, and 13 grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her daughter Socorro.
She will be deeply missed by her family, friends and all who were fortunate to have.

Mi más sentido pésame, para toda la familia Mendoza. Por un breve momento en mi juventud, y por tener como amigo a Salvador, tuve el honor de que Doña Erlinda me recibiera en su casa y me ofreciera algo de comer. Aunque es un recuerdo sencillo, me parece muestra de la generosidad y gentileza de Doña Erlinda. Esos mismos valores sus hijos aprendieron de ella y por ello los admiro. En paz descanse Doña Erlinda.
