Mrs. Lopez was born on February 6, 1925, in Nauvoo, Alabama, to Nellie Keeton McGough and Charles Edward McGough. What better birthday gift to receive than to celebrate with your Heavenly Father!

She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Mrs. Lopez was loved and respected by everyone she met.
