Celebrating the Life of Jennie Muñoz
On Wednesday, March 31, 2021, Jennie Muñoz, loving daughter, sister, and friend passed away at 43. She was born on January 18, 1978 in Stockton, California to María Socorro Vargas and Juan Muñoz-Botello. With hard work and dedication, she went on to achieve a Bachelors and Masters in Social Work pursuing her lifelong passion for championing human rights around the world. Jennie's determination to serve on the front lines of foreign policy even took her overseas on tours in Venezuela and Sudan.
She was generous and a fighter for those in need. The list of strengths she embodied are too numerous to list but top among them; her love of family, her faith, her resilience, adventurous spirit, zest for life, internal nobility, and authenticity are a banner to follow.
Jennie is survived by her mother, her father, her siblings, family, and friends.

Therefore, I can say that my future may be full of struggles and hardships, but I will overcome them with strength and spirit, just as my parents taught me.” -
