Mirtha then arrived in Houston, Texas. In Houston, the Ariza family helped her obtain her Bilingual Teaching Degree, and she worked for several years as a teacher. Mirtha loved children, had a great spirit for them, was very friendly, cheerful, and highly intelligent. Family and friends miss her for her small details and jokes. Mirtha joined the Indu Community in Houston, Texas. She went to India and took my parent to India. She did important work for the poor in India. Mirtha also worked in special nursing homes taking care of Seniors in New York and Los Angeles.
