Macaria was born on December 9th, 1940 in Santa Maria Tindu, Mexico by two loving parents, Ernesto Antolin Vasquez Ramirez and Maria Cervantes Cortez. In 1960, Macaria married Fortino Guadalupe Torres. The admirable couple had been married for approximately 60 years. Their marriage is one that most would describe as traditional, honest, humor-filled, charismatic, and most of all loving. Although Macaria was born and raised in Tindu, she moved to Oaxaca Zaragoza to pursue a family with loving husband Fortino G. Torres. Soon after deciding to migrate to Madera, CA where they, along with their beautiful family, reside.

She worked as a farm labor migrant usually traveling from California, through Oregon, and ending the working season in Washington. Along with this most identify Macaria as a full-time caregiver for all her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc. Macaria helped raise, shape, and teach around 25 individuals. She was often considered a strong female mentor to most, creating a mindful atmosphere for all. Macaria will be most remembered for her unconditional love to all those she encountered throughout her life.  She exemplified and resembled the true love of Christ in the purest form.
