Born on June 14, 1950 in Mission, Texas, she was also known as Light Feather due to her Yaqui heritage.  She was the daughter of the late Lázaro Villarreal and María Magdalena Villarreal, and sister to nine siblings.

She is survived by her husband of 48 years, José Carlos Cid; her son, Cesario Cid and her daughter, María Magdalena Cid; their spouses, Tina Cid and Orlando Martinez ; three grandchildren, Christopher, Cesario Jesús "CJ" and Jacob, and many family and friends.
