Jimenez, August 11, 1909 to March 2, 2002, awarded a Master’s degree in Spanish language and literature at the 210 convocation of the University of Chicago, September 11, 1942. She began teaching elementary school of Chicago Board of Education.

You did what you came to do. From her parents and elders she learned to care, to be up and doing, to do more than her share. Helping her loved ones and her students their future find. She did what she came to do. She now lives on in memory. To visions true she did what she came to do. Sadly missed by the Anderson, Dowding, Harris, Jimenez, Pearson, Wrights.
