Julia Marquez
Congratulations to Julia Marquez, our February Resident of the Month at Runningwater Draw Care Center. She has been a valued member of the RDCC family since 2015.
Julia was born and grew up at Hebbronville. She married Gumercindo “Joe” Marquez. They became parents of eight sons and three daughters. Most of her children live here in the South Plains area with the exception of one son who still lives in Hebbronville.
One of Julia’s daughters, Marta, shares that her mother was no stranger to hard work. For a period of years she was the children’s primary caretaker and labored long hours in the cotton fields, orchards and vegetable farms and in other menial labor. Marta, throughout her teen years, became her mother’s “right hand” helper, caring for her siblings and in the chores about their home.
In Joe’s later years, he became a resident at RDCC and was as a resident until his death in 2003.
With a deep love for all children, Julia has been rewarded by having a granddaughter and a great-grand daughter named for her.
Julia enjoys spending time with other residents during the activities times in the Juniper Room. She‘s often there cuddling and murmuring to her “baby”, a tiny doll. We are proud you are one of our special family members, Julia.

EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH -
Sabrina Sanchez
Congratulations to Sabrina Sanchez upon whom the Runningwater Draw Care Center Spotlight shines in June. She joined our family of employees in April 2016.
Sabrina grew up in Plainview and graduated from Plainview High School in 2004. Uncertain about what she wanted in the future, she enrolled in nurse aide training and in 2007 received her certification in Lubbock. Enjoying her work, she continued studying and earned her LVN certification in 2013 from South Plains College. Prior to joining the RDCC family staff, she worked at Covenant Hospital in Plainview.
As a little girl, Sabrina says she wanted to become a mechanic and work on cars alongside her dad. "He told me I couldn't be a mechanic," so she later decided she would become a veterinarian because she liked animals. And then, when it was time to really decide, she turned to the career that was meant for her. "I love the residents here," she says with a big smile.
Sabrina met her husband, R.J. In Plainview. They are parents of two sons and a daughter, Andrew is 11, Sarina is 10 and Angelo is 6. Sabrina loves being a big part of their growing up years from playing football to getting involved with them in crafts. One of their fun activities was last Halloween when Sabrina designed and made their costumes.
Animals still play a part of her life. She and R.J. adopted a dog from the animal shelter in Lubbock that she named Oreo. She also loves to bake.
Sabrina is a Catholic and her church is an important part of her life.
Sabrina, we are proud to have you as a member of our family staff at RDCC!
