Matilde was one of 11 children born to Natividad and Damian Lopez Sr.  She is survived by one sister, Alice Uribe; and three brothers, Victor, Damian, and Meliton Lopez.

Matilde enjoyed many hobbies: canning during harvest time, trying new recipes, reading, puzzles, and her one passion was traveling. She had an adventurous heart and a willingness to try anything and everything, at least once. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Free from the bonds of this world, may she rest in peace.
