Tragedy Strikes: A Phoenix Family Mourns the Loss of Two Sisters in Mexico

Sonora, Mexico – In a heart-wrenching turn of events, a devastating loss struck a Phoenix family as they bid farewell to not one but three sisters. Two of the sisters met a tragic fate on the highways of Sonora, Mexico, while the third sister had recently succumbed to cancer.

The son of one of the victims, who wishes to remain anonymous for safety reasons, shared his grief over the sudden loss of his mother and aunt. Both women, Enedina (72) and Ubaldina (82), were Arizona residents who had homes in both Phoenix and Mexico.

According to the Sonora Attorney General’s Office, the women were found deceased inside their vehicle, a white Nissan Pathfinder, which had been riddled with bullets and overturned on the highway between Sonoyta and Caborca in Sonora, Mexico.

Describing his mother as a loving grandmother and the pillar of their family, the son expressed shock and disbelief at the senseless violence that befell his innocent loved ones. His aunt, the matriarch of their family, was also tragically taken away in the same incident.

Reflecting on the vibrant lives led by his mother and aunt, the son emphasized their kind-hearted nature and deep connections within their community. Their untimely deaths have left a void in the family that cannot be filled.

As the family struggles to come to terms with their loss, the son highlighted the pervasive issue of violence and drugs in the region, emphasizing the need for collaboration between the United States and Mexico to address these systemic problems.

With no concrete information about the ongoing investigation into the deaths of his mother and aunt, the son spoke out against the normalization of such tragedies and urged for a collective effort to break the cycle of violence and drug-related crimes.

Amidst their grief, the family is seeking support to cover funeral costs through a GoFundMe campaign. Your contribution can help ease their burden during this difficult time.

Message of Hope

In the face of tragedy, the son’s message resonates with a call for awareness and prevention initiatives to spare other families from enduring similar grief. By breaking the silence and confronting the harsh realities of drug-related violence, he hopes to spark a meaningful dialogue that drives positive change.
