More than 500,000 people have died in the U.S. from COVID-19 since the pandemic began over a year ago. NPR is remembering some of those who lost their lives by listening to the music they loved and hearing their stories.

Margaret Garza of Houston, Texas, tells us about her big sister, Leticia Gloria, also known as “Nina,” who passed away at the age of 69.
