In 1941, Mary Felix was diagnosed with cancer, and her oldest sons returned from the military to help the family. Eva and Ramona had many responsibilities, caring for the youngest twins, who were born in 1940. As they became adults, Fred, Albert, Eva, Sonny, Ronne, and Donne continued to work in the Bashas Company in different positions. Ramona became a nun and worked in the day care field for many years. Richard became a Chandler police officer, and passed away in 1995. Eva married Ernie Serrano and worked in their family business. Eva and Ramona feel that Chandler’s Hispanic community has occupied an important but quiet part of the town’s history that needs to be recognized.
