A cherished grandmother of 13, she is also survived by sisters, Licha Ruiz, Ofelia Figueroa, Concha Bojorquez, and brother, Robert Bojorquez. Delia will be deeply missed by her children, grandchildren, friends and extended family members. Delia was born in Tucson, Arizona and raised both in Tucson and Los Angeles, California. She possessed a special passion for working with children, and is best remembered for her work for many years as a teacher's aide at Carrillo Elementary School, where she herself once attended.
