She was born and raised in Old Town and a member of the Joe G. Valdez legacy. Fabiola was a legend in her own time. She was a strikingly beautiful woman in her day. Her natural musical talents were surpassed only by the amazing food she created until her last days. Fabiola always had a sense of humor and was never at a loss for words, regardless of the situation. She loved her dogs: Rojo, who passed nearly a year ago, and Trouble, who laid at her side until her last breath. She was courageous until the end maintaining her dignity, pride and spirit. She was loved by many and will be missed by all.
