Obituary for Lina Mercedes Centeno
Lina Mercedes Centeno, 89 of Dixon, California, passed away on May 27th, 2021 with many family members by her side. She was born in Merida, Yucatan on July, 16th 1931. She went on to marry Rudy Centeno in 1951. They came to Dixon, California in 1960. She is survived by her 5 children; Rudy Centeno Jr., Mercedes Parker, Manuel Centeno, Leticia Centeno, and Sylvia Centeno. One of her greatest treasures was her family. She had 17 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren, and 6 great-great-grandchildren.
Lina worked for Hunt’s Cannery for over 30 years, finally retiring in 1993. She loved to travel and spent much of her time in Yucatan, going back and forth to Merida and Halacho with her second husband, Jose Gutierrez. Lina also enjoyed going on cruises. She would go on 1-2 cruises every year. She enjoyed cooking for her loved ones as her house was the family gathering place for the holidays. Novembers were also spent making dozens of tamales for Christmas time.
Lina was the root of the Centeno family and will be missed beyond measure. We love you mom, grandma, grammy Leeny, Chula.
