Margie always loved cooking and understood the simple importance of providing a home cooked meal for her family. In 1969 with her late husband Alfredo Valenzuela the two merged her cooking talents with his entrepreneurial resources and started what became one of the most successful restaurants in Roswell. Los Ranchos Restaurant thrived for more than 20 years, displaying Margie's passion & love for food and demonstrating her culinary skills. Staying true to her belief that food brought the family together, home cooked meals were a necessity that she provided every Sunday. Margie loved life and enjoyed spending time with her family especially her grandchildren. The Valenzuela family wants to thank the staff from Frontier Medical Home Health and Gentiva Hospice for providing caring assistance to our mother... God Bless You

Special thanks to our sisters who cared for our parents

Las Nubes, Las Olas, El Viento Son Señas
De Vida En El Mundo
Los Cielos, El Odio y Coraje, Son Pruebas De
Vida En El Mundo
El Sentimiento, El Amor, La Decidia, Nos Hacen
Mirar con tus ojos Abiertos
Amor, Carino Amistad, Son Los Sopremos
Amé, fui amado, el sol acarició mi faz.
�Vida, nada me debes! �Vida, estamos en paz!
