About
Abuela Mabel is a loving mother and grandmother whose life has been shaped by faith, family, service, and care for others. Born in Rosario, Argentina, she became a Seventh-day Adventist at age fifteen, a decision that changed the course of her life.
She has served her family and community through nursing, work as an EKG technician, and the ownership of three adult foster homes for approximately ten years. Alongside her husband, Hugo, she raised three children and helped build a family culture centered on faith, generosity, good food, laughter, and gathering together.
Her family knows her for cooking, singing, natural remedies, memorable popcorn, and the warmth she brings to holidays and everyday life. She hopes future generations will remain humble, kind, family-oriented, and close to God.
