Wife and working partner of more than 60 years of architect Nicolas Arroyo. They died only three days apart in 2008.

The couple met as architecture students at the University of Havana, and after marrying in 1942 started the firm Arroyo & Menéndez, which designed several iconic modernist buildings of 1950s Havana—including the Havana Hilton Hotel, rechristened the Habana Libre after the 1959 Revolution, the Teatro Nacional, and the city’s famed sports complex, known today as Ciudad Deportiva.
