Adelaide Jimenez was born Dec. 18, 1921, in Penjamo Ciudadano, Mexico, to Acencion and Aurelia (Alcantar) Aguirre. She was the first of 10 children born to her parents.
When Adelaide was a year old, her family moved to the United States. Adelaide lived in Mason City for approximately 50 years until the late 1970s, then moved with her family to Portland, Ore., for many years, then relocated back to Mason City in 1998. This December, Adelaide moved to St. Ansgar to live with her daughter, Linda, and her family.
Adelaide was employed at Lida's Beauty Shop as a cosmetologist for many years and had also worked at Decker meat-packing and Damon's Department Store.
Adelaide was very proud of her Mexican heritage. She attended classes, learning to proficiently and fluently speak and write both Spanish and English. She was one of few who held dual citizenships in the United States and Mexico. Adelaide was a well-known bilingual interpreter for many people in the Mason City area and across the state of Iowa. She also traveled to Mexico numerous times in order to assist with language barriers between the two countries.
On Sept. 21, 1942, Adelaide was united in marriage to Joseph Leondro Jimenez, Sr. in Albert Lea, Minn. They became the proud parents of eight children.
Adelaide's family describe their mother as a very artistic, loving, hard-working and talented woman, she seemed to sleep little! She took great pride in nurturing her family and was a true go-getter in filling the hours in a day. Adelaide found great joy in crocheting, restoring furniture and antiques, including caning and upholstering, sewing doll clothes and collecting bisque dolls. Some of Adelaide's leisure time and interests included growing house plants, gardening, canning vegetables and fruit, quilting and oil painting.
Adelaide was very giving of her time and resources as she assisted at the Senior Citizen's Center, purchased clothing for those in need, and in her earlier years was a volunteer at a local children's day care center. She sacrificed much and was devoted to her faith and family. Her daughters recall that large family gatherings were important to Adelaide and many times their mother cooked up to 50 dozen tamales for Christmas. Cooking Mexican dishes and entertaining in her home was her specialty!
Adelaide will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
She is survived by her children, Maria Hansen of Joice, Linda Quinones of St. Ansgar, and Laura McDowall, Joseph (Sylvia) Jimenez, Jr., Sarogosa Jimenez and Theodore Jimenez, all of Portland, Ore. Adelaide will also be a cherished memory of her sister, Carmen (Thomas) Jimenez of Mason City; her two brothers, Manuel (Dorothy) Aguirre and Jackie Aguirre, both of St. Paul, Minn.; numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and many other relatives and friends.
Preceding Adelaide in death is her husband, Joseph Jimenez, Sr. in December 1977; her daughter, Margo Jimenez; her son, Anthony Jimenez; her parents; five sisters and one brother.
