With profound sadness, the Mi Hacienda family mourns the loss of a beloved member, Angelina Ortiz-Martinez, whom we affectionately knew as Mama Lula.
Many of you may remember her from our Starkville location, where she could often be found quietly reading a book or enjoying her favorite word puzzles and games. Over the years, she became a cherished presence in the restaurant, and we are grateful to all who have expressed their concern and sent their kind wishes and prayers during this difficult time. Sadly, we must now say goodbye.
Mama Lula touched the lives of numerous customers and staff alike, and her warmth will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. We would like to extend an invitation to anyone who wishes to pay their respects or attend her funeral service.
You will be dearly missed, Mama Lula. ❤️🕊️
