Every year families and communities gather to remember their deceased loved ones, honor their legacies with favorite treats and memories and celebrate Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead).
This year that tradition will continue in San Marcos with the honoring of the late Irene K. Mendez at the Día de los Muertos 5K Run/Walk & Kids Fun Run scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 2 at Hernandez Elementary School.
Unlike what the name implies, Día de los Muertos does not celebrate death. Rather it is a celebration of the lives of friends and family who have moved on. This year the life and the legacy of Irene Mendez will be honored for her lifetime of service as a San Marcos educator.
