"Lovey loved everyone. Our one-of-a-kind mother, grandmother and great-grandmother was the heart and soul of Chompie’s.

"In her more than 40 years presiding over Chompie’s, she was renowned for making each and every customer, employee, vendor and supporter feel like they were a member of our family,” Frank Lara, a 42-year employee of Chompie’s.

“And to her, they absolutely were.”
