Besides raising her nine daughters and sons, Basilia cared for her younger in-laws who had lost their parents. She also babysat three generations of Ruiz grandchildren.

When she wasn't tending her flower garden or making tamales, Basilia enjoyed telenovelas, scrapbooking, shopping, and visiting the Oregon Coast with her daughters. She was a regular customer of Christmas gift bazaars, and would often brunch at Spirit Mountain Casino on Sundays.

Julian and Basilia were long-time parishioners of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Gervais.
