She married the love of her life Florencio Estrada Munoz t, in Guadalajara, JAL, Mexico, and started their family in the city of Tijuana, Baja California.

Unfortunately, Amelia became a widow in 1985, taking on the roles of a mother and father to her children at the age of forty-eight.

Amelia enjoyed music, from Trios and Vicente, to the big bands of Glenn Miller, Ray Conniff, and the romantic melodies of Franck Poucel, Charles Aznavour. She enjoyed, cinema, Epoca de Oro del Cine Mexico, American films and foreign movies. She was an avid reader and loved writing. She wrote beautiful verses and poems about her life and loved ones.

Ponte en las manos de Dios al abrir los ojos a la luz de nuevo dia

Y a medida que te pasen las horas

Recuerda que Dios dirige tu vida porque lo tienes cerca

Muy cerca de ti
