Carmen Huerta Obituary
Carmen Huerta died peacefully on Tuesday, March 12th, in her home in North Aurora, Illinois.
Hailing from San Luis Potosi, Mexico, Carmen moved to Chicago, Illinois in 1973. She lived in Little Village for almost 30 years, making many lifelong friendships along the way.
Throughout her life, Carmen was a social butterfly who seemed to know everyone no matter where she lived. She loved movies and music, interests that she passed down to her family. Carmen was also a devout Catholic, frequently finding solace in prayer. She had an impressive and rather helpful knowledge of the saints and their various intercessory roles.
Carmen is survived by her spouse, Javier Huerta; her daughters, Drs. Imelda and Marisela Huerta; son-in-law, Osvaldo Mendoza; and her beloved grandsons, Gerardo and Eduardo Galvez-Huerta.
Carmen loved her family fiercely and was their best protector and cheerleader. Always full of encouraging words, home remedies, and prayers, Carmen taught those she loved to engage in self-care. She will be deeply missed by all.
Visitation will be Friday, March 15th from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Yurs Funeral Home, 1771 W. State Street, Geneva, Illinois. Funeral mass arrangements are forthcoming.
