She was a fierce and devoted leader who advocated for her community, calling out anything that detracted from its beauty, from dilapidated structures, to solid waste and environmental codes violations, to roadway related matters. Gonzales suffered from debilitating arthritis, but did not complain. Instead, she continued working diligently. Recently, she worked closely with county staff as a member of the 2020 Regional Census Complete Count Committee, encouraging Tortugas residents to complete their forms.
