Angelina's journey began in Mexico, where she learned the art of sewing from her beloved mother, Josefina. When she arrived in California, she put these skills to work, starting her career as a seamstress. Her remarkable hard work and keen sense of perfection soon led to her promotion as a sample maker within the fashion design department of her company. This role saw her collaborate closely with design teams for approximately 36 years before she retired in 2003, leaving a legacy of professionalism and artistry behind.

Education played an important role in Angelina's life. She attended school up to the 6th grade, but the knowledge and skills she acquired throughout her life were immeasurable. Her accomplishments were a source of pride, especially after emigrating to the United States with her family in search of a better life. Becoming a homeowner and obtaining U.S. citizenship were significant milestones for her. Casting her first vote in a presidential election brought her immense joy, as did witnessing the successes of her children and grandchildren as they advanced in their education and careers.

She is survived by her loving children, Olga Morales and her husband Gerardo, Zoila Martinez and her husband Jorge, Servando Sencion and his partner Gina Fermin, and Veronica Munguia and her husband John. Angelina was also the proud grandmother to Michael and Melissa Sencion, Adam and Alexandra Morales, Britteney Morales-Curiel and Victor Curiel, George Martinez and his fiancée Ella Lockwood, Alexa M. Pinney and her husband Robert. In addition, she delighted in the company of her great-grandchildren, Serena Sencion, Selene Sencion, and Baby Pinney.

Angelina was known for her friendly and giving nature, yet she maintained a private side to her life. Her infectious humor and welcoming spirit made those around her feel at ease. Always graceful and chic, she had an undeniable love for fashion, taking great pride in both her work and home. She kept everything impeccably neat, reflecting her admirable dedication.

In her leisure time, Angelina enjoyed gardening, sewing, cooking, and indulging in captivating stories penned by her favorite author, Isabel Allende. She cherished moments spent with family, sharing stories of love and life, and enjoying an occasional margarita or pina colada. Her love for music filled her home, where she created a cherished CD collection that evoked joyful memories and nostalgia, often sharing her favorite tunes with her loved ones.

Angelina will always be remembered as a bright light in the lives of her family and friends. She is preceded in death by her husband, Apolinar Sencion, and her beloved grandson, Steven A. Morales. She also mourned the loss of her mother, Josefina Camberos Preciado, and her father, Gregorio Preciado.

Angelina's legacy will live on in the hearts of those she loved and those who loved her. She will be deeply missed but forever remembered as an extraordinary woman who made a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
