Born Elisa Ayala Saenz in Santa Barbara, Chihuahua. She was one of eleven children born to Albino & Josefa Ayala. Born into poverty my mother always seeked something better for herself. She followed in her older sister Emma's footsteps and came to Los Angeles at the age of seventeen to seek a better opportunity, so that she could help out her mother & father back home. Her first job was of a caretaker for a disabled young child named Andrea. At the age of eighteen she had her first child and became a single parent. She worked as a housekeeper for Barry White & Jermain Jackson. She was a strong independant woman full of life who always extended a helping hand to those in need. She was the life of the party!
