A doña Rafaela Conde viuda de Mirabal, maestra distinguida de nuestra Ciudad que durante décadas ejerció una fructifera carrera en el magisterio, con gran dedicación y responsabilidad. Su sensibilidad y amor al prójimo llevaron a destacarse en diversas instituciones civicas y religiosas, particularmente como presidenta de las Hijas de María, cuando levantó fondos para la construcción de la Catedral Dulce Nombre de Jesús. Sus cualidades la hicieron meritoria de las dictinciones de Madre Ejemplar en la década del 1960, y Ciudadana Distinuida en 1986. En reconocimiento de su trayectoria ejemplar y para perpetuar su memoria, bautizamos esta estructura:
