Lucia Vidal nació el 4 de agosto de 1948 en la Ciudad de México, México. Era la mayor de siete hijos
y fue una hermana muy amorosa y una figura materna para todos sus hermanos. Ella fue un ejemplo
de amor y de bondad para toda su familia. Para sus hijos fue una madre maravillosa y amorosa y
para su marido ella fue una esposa ejemplar y devota. Para todos sus sobrinos era la tía con la que
siempre podías contar y la que siempre estaba allí para ti sin importar la hora ni el día.
Se mudó al área de Kansas City con su familia en abril de 1980. Fue miembro activo de la Iglesia
Adventista del Séptimo Día desde 1984. Ella participaba en varios ministerios de su iglesia que

cartas a los reclusos) y ministerios de Dorcas. Sus pasatiempos personales incluían cocinar, artes y
manualidades, especialmente la pintura, jardinería, escribir poesía y tejer. También nunca olvidaba
enviar tarjetas de Navidad, cumpleaños, aniversario, y notas de bienestar para todos sus amigos y
familiares.
Su devoción a Dios y su disposición a aceptar su voluntad era evidente. Su espíritu de amor,
fuerza y fe serán una luz para todos nosotros y permanecerá con nosotros por siempre.

Lucia Vidal was born on August 4, 1948 in Mexico City, Mexico. She was the eldest of seven children and she was a very loving sister and a mother figure to all of her siblings. To her children, she was a wonderful and loving mother and to her husband she was exemplary and devoted wife. She was a loving example, mentor and supporter of her entire family, including her nieces and nephews. She was the aunt that
you could always count on and the one who was there time after time.

She moved to the Kansas City area with her family in April of 1980. She was an active member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church since 1984. Her church ministries included being a deaconess, singing ministries, woman’s ministries, prison (she wrote letters to inmates) and Dorcas ministries.
Her personal hobbies included cooking, arts and crafts – especially painting, gardening, writing poetry and crocheting. She also never forgot to send out Christmas, birthday, anniversary, get well cards to all of her friends and family.
