Are Abraham and Marcella still together?

Marcella is married to Abraham Quintanilla Jr., the singer and producer. Met Marcella in 1961 while he was still serving in the military, they courted for two years, and eventually, they got married in 1963.

The wedding was entirely private and was attended by close friends and family.

In December of the same year, they welcomed their first child together, Abraham Quintanilla II, and four years later, they had a daughter Suzanne Quintanilla.

The family moved to Lake Jackson, Texas, in the early ’70s, and Quintanilla Jr had to leave his music career after having great hits like Los Dinos and Costa Esta Copa.

He began doing regular jobs to support his family. Then, in April 1971, the couple welcomed another daughter, Selena.

Before Selena was born, her mother, Marcella, was diagnosed with a tumor that needed an immediate operation.

However, the couple opted for a second opinion, and the second medical expert told Marcella that she was pregnant.

About Selena Quintanilla

Selena Quintanilla was an American singer, songwriter, actress, model, fashion designer, and businesswoman.

She was called “Queen of Tejano music” by her fans. At a young age, Selena had a passion for music, just like her father.

With her parent’s guide and assistance, she could launch and establish her entrepreneurship line and her music career.

Her fashion and music were loved and widely accepted by fans due to the Mexican-American mix she made.

Selena was also the wife of Charles Perez. The death of Selena came as a rude shock to her fans and her family. Selena was already close to being a star and had establishments in her name already.

Selena was murdered by Yolanda Saldivar, a fan who was well known to Selena’s family. Yolanda had set up a fan club for the singer in 1991, and the singer’s father gave her permission to be the fan club’s president.

She was also made Selena’s boutique manager three years later.
After a while, Selena’s family noticed that Yolanda had embezzled funds from the boutique and the fans club, so they confronted her.

Soon after, she purchased a gun and lured Selena into a motel room on March 31, 1995, where she eventually shot her. Unfortunately, Selena died of the gunshot wound upon arrival at the Hospital.

Marcella was devastated about her daughter’s death, and she demanded justice to be served. She finally got it when Yolanda was sentenced to live imprisonment in October 1995.

Since Selena’s death, her family has worked to keep her legacy alive, and they set up The Selena Foundation, which helps children living in crisis.

A film on Selena’s life was made in 1997, and her father served as the executive producer.

The film featured Jennifer Lopez and was her breakout role. There was also a Netflix TV series on her.

Selena’s family was also present when their late daughter was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in November 2017.

Marcella Samora Now

Marcella currently works at The Selena Foundation and is also a social worker. Selena’s death is one of the most tragic and sad deaths in the music industry.
