Aurora Maria Santos Ramos, 87, of Hot Springs, Arkansas, transitioned peacefully on Wednesday, November 26, 2025. She was born on February 3, 1938, in Falls City, Texas, to Juantia Sanchez and Victor Santos.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her sister, Anita Sebedra; her brothers, Benito Santos, Raymond Ruiz, and Alex Ruiz; and her daughter, Eva Perez.

Aurora lived a life marked by hard work, creativity, and deep love for her family. She spent many years working in a meat packing plant in Amarillo, Texas, and later served as an in-home caregiver with the Texas Panhandle Community Center beginning in 1976.

Aurora expressed her creativity through jewelry making and crocheting, hobbies she cherished throughout her life. She lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico, for 14 years with her son, Jesse Ramos, before moving in 2025 to Hot Springs, Arkansas, to live with her son, Daniel Santos. She often said Hot Springs felt like "heaven," and she was grateful to spend her final months there.
