Preceded in death by her nana, grandpa Jeff, grandpa Vick, nephew (Deric), niece Hailey Gooden, cousin Tim Herrera, great grandma Eva, Lupe Romero and uncle Dave Vialpando.
Lorica loved her children so deeply when she spoke of them her face lit up and you could feel her happiness. There was not a conversation she was involved in that she didn’t mention her love for them. No matter how she was feeling she had a story to tell and an ear to listen. Lorica had the same “sparkle” in her eye she said Sophya has and like Trenton she loved putting puzzles together. Lorica worked for many years and wore many different hats while employed for Reams grocery store in where she resided in South Salt Lake. Living in in South Salt Lake Lorica gained and valued the many relationships she formed over the years. During her early adult years, she cared for her son and younger brother (DJ) for several years something she was very proud of this and valued that time. Lorica loved cooking and cooking for others. She was always kind but often very outgoing in the delivery of the truth which sometimes resulted in hurt feelings or a great laugh!! Lorica was loved and will be greatly missed. Life changes in the blink of an eye. Offer love, an ear to listen, empathy and moral support.
