She was surrounded by the love and warmth of her family, leaving behind a legacy that will forever resonate in the hearts of those who knew her.

Aurea was not just a baker; she was an artist in the kitchen, creating dishes that brought everyone running to her table. Her culinary talents were matched only by her infectious joy for life. In her presence, you could always find music playing softly in the background, accompanied by her sing-alongs and dances that filled the air with laughter and happiness. Cooking was not just a hobby for Aurea; it was a way to express her love for her family, friends, and all who crossed her path.

She is survived by her devoted son, Antonio Megret, and her loving daughters, Aurea Ivonne Megret, Marianela Megret, and Luisa Susana Megret. Aurea's life was enriched by her twelve grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren, who were a source of immense pride and joy for her. She shared countless memories with them, each gathering revealing her unwavering support and boundless affection.

Aurea joins her dear departed family members, including her father, Eliseo Pimental, her mother, Emilia Peguero, her husband, Carlos Mariano Megret, and her son, Jose Megret, in eternal peace. The love that once connected them in life now inspires those they left behind and will continue to shine through the stories and memories shared by her family.
