Mrs. Morin was born and raised in Laredo, Texas where she was a
lifelong resident. There she met the love of her life, Petronilo Morin Jr.
and married him on March 18, 1965 at the age of 18. She went on to
build her home from scratch with her loving husband and filled their
home with hallways echoing with laughter and love. She enjoyed her life
to the fullest with her spouse, children, grandchildren, great-
grandchildren, and numerous pets. She was an outspoken woman with
humor to soften her bite. She gave lifelong lessons while cooking up hot
tortillas to her loved ones. Her home was the headquarters for all family
events, endless cookouts, and holidays. She was the family's matriarch
and everyone's partner in crime from sweet bread with coffee in the
morning to dressing up for maquinita night.
