Leopoldo died in Bogotá on September 10, 1917, and Tata worked as a seamstress to support the family.  In 1928, she decided to leave Colombia for the United States.  She arrived in New York with her son, Alfonso in September, 1928, leaving Graciela and Lenny with her brother, Gustavo Angueyra and his wife, Corina Salazar, in Barranquilla until she had set up home in the US.

In about 1945, after nearly 20 years in the US, Tata returned to Colombia where she lived in Bogotá until her death there on November 27, 1969.
