Francisca H. "Pancha" Aguilar's Obituary
Francisca H. “Pancha” Aguilar, age 53, passed away Monday, September 28, 2020 at Spectrum-Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids surrounded by her loving family. She was born January 25, 1967 in Grant, MI to Angel Luis and Irene “Connie” (Ramirez) Navarro. Pancha was the proud owner of Navarro’s Mexican Takeout in Muskegon Heights, MI which she continued to operate for 35 years after buying the family business. For the past 10+ years she was also a proud Supports Coordinator and Healthcare worker for Muskegon County at HealthWest and other AFC homes within the County. Pancha’s infectious personality and generous spirit endeared her to many friends over the years. She especially loved her HealthWest family and assisting her consumers. She would always welcome anyone who needed a place at her table – most importantly during the holidays. Pancha was a devoted and faithful Catholic and was a longtime member of Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church. She volunteered many years for the Cursillo and DeColores Movements within the church and served as a Spiritual Guide with pride. Pancha will be greatly missed by her loving family and vast network of friends. Survivors include her 2 children, Marisela (Felix) Sierra and Sgt. Abraham Angel Luis Aguilar; her 2 beloved grandchildren, Vivianna Francisca Sierra and Felix Matias Sierra; her loving parents, Angel Luis and Connie Navarro; her only sister, Angelita (Miguel Angel) Valdez and her fiancé, Clemente Paniagua. Visitation will be open to the public from 4-6 PM on Sunday, October 4, 2020 at St. Francis Church 2929 McCracken St. Norton Shores, MI 49441 with the Rosary to immediately follow. A private Mass of Christian Burial will be held with her immediate family.
