Virginia B. Hueso's Obituary
Virginia Baron Hueso
August 15, 1930-May 14, 2024
To her family and friends, Virginia Baron Hueso was known as “Chata.” Born in Tecalitlan, Jalisco, Mexico to Pablo Baron Barrera and Maria Guadalupe Tejeda Arcega, she had five brothers: Alfonso, Herminio, Gildardo, Samuel and Abel.
At age 24, she married Jesus Hueso Brambila, a former neighbor who had previously emigrated to the United States in 1949. They were married in 1954 in Tecalitlan and spent their honeymoon in Mexico City. With the understanding that they would permanently settle in her native Tecalitlan, Virginia agreed to temporarily move to San Diego, California to be with her husband. They first settled in Downtown San Diego, then in Sherman Heights and finally in Logan Heights, where she spent the remaining 65 years of her life. It was here that she became a member of the Parish of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. Both she and Jesus became active in the Acción Catolica organization and taught catechism classes. Their nine children attended Our Lady’s School and played an active role in all of the activities of the parish. She dedicated years of service cooking in the parish kitchen, visiting local jails and penitentiaries to share the teachings of the Bible with inmates, and organizing parish fundraisers, social events, and religious celebrations. In her honor and for her years of service, parishioners named the kitchen after her, commemorating the event with an iron skillet that bears her name.
Besides her involvement with the church, Virginia developed her entrepreneurial skills early on by becoming an “Avon lady.” She received many awards over the years in recognition of her achievements in sales and in recruiting other Avon representatives. She also sold Amway products, Shaklee vitamins and Studio Girl Cosmetics, and became known in the neighborhood as someone to whom people could turn when they needed herbal remedies.
Her generosity came to be well known in the community. She never refused anyone seeking a meal, clothing, or healthcare, or who was in need of spiritual healing. Food was never lacking in her home. There was a perennial clay pot brimming with beans on the stove as well as any number of other savory meals with origins in Jalisco, such as the family favorite, Cuachala, a regional chicken dish made with guajillo chiles and thickened with masa. Her home became a regular destination for those seeking any kind of assistance, including employment, and she and her husband were successful in helping many families.
For Virginia, God, family, and hard work were always foremost in her mind. She was adamant about teaching her children the tenets of Catholicism, looking after their education, and making sure they were always well fed. She and Jesus succeeded in having all their children graduate from high school and attend college.
Despite always believing she would return to her native Tecalitlan, and having established deep roots in San Diego, she finally decided to become a U.S. citizen in 1998. She never missed voting in an election.
Virginia is survived by her children Francisco Javier (Alba), Felipe de Jesus (Teresina), Jose Antonio (Ruth), Alfredo (Sandra), Angel, Ruben (Noela), Virginia (Edwin), Benjamin (Nora) and Samuel (Rosa); 29 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren and many friends and relatives. She will be greatly missed.
