After they were married, Primitiva became a loyal homemaker, caring deeply for her family. They lived in the Philippines until Guillermo retired and they moved to Ponca City in 1995 to be closer to family. Her traditional Filipino cooking was legendary, as she adored entertaining others, especially her family. When she wasn't caring for others in the kitchen, Primitiva was a proud supporter of the L.A. Lakers basketball team, but would make time to watch about any sport with golf and tennis being some of her favorites. Gardening was another of Primitiva's passions.

Survivors include her sisters: Carmelina Cruz Delapaz and husband Ben of Ponca City, Lydia Cruz Escudero of Santa Lucia Calumpit, Philippines, and many beloved nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and dear friends.
