No one could make asado or chile colorado like Wuela. Manuela was a woman who impacted the lives of many beyond her education and resources. She made people laugh with her witty comments as well as at ease with her outgoing personality. Her house was always open to family and friends who needed a place to stay for a few hours or a few months. She took care of countless family members when they were sick nurturing many back to health.
