Eva Guadalupe Plaza

Eva Guadalupe Torres Plaza passed away on March 31, 2021 of natural causes, surrounded by her family and friends. She was 88 years old. Eva was a woman of great faith who poured her energy into her family and her church community. She made friends easily with people from all walks of life and all ages. Her loved ones will miss her quick wit and joyous manner. She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Guillermo and Eva Torres, her husband Sergio Plaza Sr., and her brothers Jose Torres and Armando Torres. She is survived by her beloved children: Eva Plaza Mandel (Eric), Angela Plaza Herrera (Rudy), Sergio Plaza Jr., and Tina Plaza Whoriskey (Peter); and her loving grandchildren: Lisa Martinez, Cynthia Heredia Soliz, Albert Heredia (Kimberly), Amber Blanquiz (Chris), Raquel Toledo (Brian Kroener), Sergio Plaza III, Gabriel Plaza, Alec Whoriskey, Matthew Whoriskey, and Luke Whoriskey.
