MARY NIETO's Obituary
MARY HERNANDEZ NIETO 89 Our beloved mother and grandmother, Mary Hernandez Nieto, passed away on May 15. Born December 2, 1924 in Fillmore, California, the youngest of six children, she grew up in Santa Paula, and settled in Hayward with her husband, Genaro Nieto, to whom she was married for 57 years until his passing in 2002.
