The highest-held position is as an elected trustee/board president to Cerritos College. All references are based on death/obituary. Don't think she meets the threshold for WP:NPOL or wp:anybio. Notability is not inherited through marriage. Doesn't make any mention of business accomplishments. Internet search results are sparse. I suggest deletion or move to draft at minimum.

 * Delete Agree that college board member is not a notability-bearing position and the coverage is not significant enough. Reywas92Talk 15:16, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete. Notability is not inherited, so she isn't automatically entitled to have an article just because her husband has one — but the article is not demonstrating or properly sourcing that she has any meaningful claim of standalone notability in her own right. There also appears to be a bit of a pattern here, as this was created by the same editor who created Patti Garamendi, which I put up for AFD last week for virtually identical reasons.

 * Keep. Notability is determined not by the perceived prestige of a position but by coverage in sources. The article cites coverage in the Long Beach Press-Telegram and the Cerritos College newspaper Talon Marks. There is also coverage in Insurance Journal, the periodical of record of the American Agents Alliance. Another periodical, the Downey Patriot, reports that she is the namesake of a memorial scholarship. Hydrangeans (she/her &#124; talk &#124; edits) 08:35, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SIGCOV. Even assuming that everything is true, the depth and reliability of the sourcing in questionable. Two local sources do not constitute significant coverage. A board member can be notable; for example, Lewis Powell, Jr. made national headlines as an education board member well before he was appointed to SCOTUS. This is not the situation for this subject.

 * Delete no significant coverage here - the college newspaper is obviously not independent, and other mentions seem trivial. SportingFlyer  T · C  04:39, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
