Victoria was born on December 23, 1944 in Mexico to Raymond and Agripina (Martinez) Mendoza. On November 20, 1966, she married Refugio "Cuco" Rocha in Dimmitt, TX. Together they raised their daughter Brinda in Hereford, TX before finally staking their roots in Amarillo. She was a devoted and faithful member of Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church for many years where she served as a Guadalupana and worked in the Cursillo Movement as a Rectora. She served her church as a Euchrist Minister and many other positions until her health declined. She cherished and adored her beloved family and was "Madrina" to many of her nieces, nephews, and other children of the church.

Victoria was preceded in death by her parents and brothers Jose "Nieves", Marcello, and Jesus Mendoza. Those left to cherish her memories are her beloved husband Cuco, daughter Brinda Salayandia and husband Ricardo Sr, sisters Olivia, Cecilia, Dora, Minnie, Amparo, Estella, and Angie; and brothers Armando, Elias, and Lupe. Victoria also leaves behind a legacy of four grandchildren Ricardo and wife Brenda, Lupita, Christian and wife Zarai, Oscar and wife Christiana; as well as her great-grandchildren Arianna, Bella, Luke, Mia, Landen, Madison, Avah, Avery, Lincoln, and Amara, and Aleida. Victoria was blessed with many God Children whom she was fortunate to baptize in Christ, as well as many other loving family and dear friends.
