Paula Adela (Gonzales) Andrade was born in Las Vegas, New Mexico on Wednesday, August 17, 1927, and took her final breath at noon Wednesday, November 14, 2018, in Whittier, California. She moved to Los Angeles in 1945, where she graduated from Bishop Conaty High School the following year of 1946. She later married Pedro Manuel Andrade on July 15, 1950.

She is survived by her 8 children (Linda, Steven and his wife Melodye, Frank, John and his wife Rosemary, Patricio, Deborah, Richard & his wife Gigi, and Cecelia along with her fiance Daniel).

We would like to include a special mention to family friend Frank Graves who was there for Grandma in her last years and days.

Adela was a devoted Catholic and a true definition of Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother. Family was always Adela's number one priority and her love and dedication to her family has been passed down to each and every one of her surviving family members. May she rest in eternal peace.
