Nació de Doroteo y Paulina Lozano el 18 de agosto de 1942 en Acuña, Coahuila, México. María Elena era una católica devota, aceptando a Cristo a una edad temprana. Ella siempre mantuvo a su familia y sus necesidades. A menudo se la consideraba la columna vertebral de la familia, asegurándose de que nadie se quedara fuera o se quedara atrás.
