Lisa Garcia Quiroz, the founding publisher of People en Español, one of the most popular Hispanic magazines in the United States, died on Friday at her mother’s home in Denver. She was 57.
The cause was pancreatic cancer, her husband, Guy Garcia, said.
Ms. Quiroz’s career in media — first at Time Inc., where she also launched the magazine Time for Kids, and then at Time Warner, where she became the company’s first chief diversity officer — was driven by a deeply held conviction, she said.
