Zuniga and Angel U. Zuniga. He went to Pierce Elementary and graduated from South Side High School. He was an athlete and a great student. After graduating, Sergio went to the US Marine Corps and came home to pursue a career in the "rough neck" field of welding by going to STVT- HE WAS GREAT AT IT!

Sergio's life was complete when he had his son Josiah! He was the love of his life and the most wonderful precious thing that could have come to him. You could see it every time he was with him. They were best buds and will always be together in this life and the next. Sergio made the best life possible for everyone that knew him. With his BIG smile and LOVING personality, Sergio left a mark everywhere he went. He was a great son, a loving brother, a wonderful father and an irreplaceable friend. There was not a day that went by that he did not light up every room or group he was in. His smile was contagious, and his spirit was warm and loving. Sergio loved everyone and was very fun and energetic. He was loved by everyone and had no issues with trying to make you laugh and give you some sarcasm.

Sergio will be missed more than words can say and actions can show. He left us too soon, but he will NOT be forgotten- someone like him cannot be. His spirit will live on through his father, his brothers, his sister and his son. He will continue to live in our hearts and our souls every day. We will honor him by keeping our spirits alive in his absence because we all know that is what he would have wanted. With a heavy heart we honor him today not with a simple "goodbye!" but with a heartfelt "See you soon, brother!"

God's garden must be beautiful. He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain, he knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb. So He closed your weary eyelids, and whispered, "Peace be thine." It broke our hearts to lose you.

11/25/1920-5/26/2022

Margarita V. Luna left this world to enter the gates of heaven on May 26, 2022. The Lord allowed her to pass peacefully. Her passing is not to be a sad occasion as she was blessed to live 101 years, always thanking God for another day and still possessing her cognitive ability.

Margarita was a unique and unusual woman living in the early 1900’s. Her journey through life was not always easy, as she dealt with much resistance being a single woman with children. She was resilient and embraced all change that each decade brought. She never gave up when things were tough, worked hard and instilled that virtue to her children. Margarita was a woman who could truly say, (in our modern day), “I’ve lived a life-time…seen and been through it all!”

After living in Florida for many years, Margarita returned back to her hometown of San Antonio, TX and stayed with family and friends, until moving into her own apartment at a Senior facility. She often shared her adventures in life that would make us all blush and laugh.

Margarita loved to sing and dance. Growing up, Margarita and her sister Camilla were known to sing together all of the time. Right before her passing, when she could still speak, the caregivers remember her singing to them. Towards the end of her life, when asked how she was doing each day, she’d say, “I’m doing good, thanks to my God!” Margarita was a strong natured woman who held her own to the very end. The best things about her were that she always had her own view on things, was generally a happy person, and had a sense of humor.

Margarita joins her son, Antonio V. Luna, her parents, Cruz Reyes and Miguel Valdez, along with sister, Camilla Cruz (Jose) in heaven. She is survived by her daughter, Norma Hause, her grandson, Russell Hause, niece and goddaughter, Evangelina Cruz Sanchez (Jesus), niece, Yolanda Cruz, numerous grandnieces, grandnephews, and lifelong friend, Sandy Martinez.

Margarita also leaves behind caregivers who she considered family: Juanita Rocha, Maria Cazares, Counsella M. Ewell.

A Memorial Service will begin on Saturday, June 11, 2022 at 1:30pm at Delgado Funeral Home (2200 W. Martin St, San Antonio, Texas 78207) with a Rosary recited at 2:00pm. Service will conclude at 3:30pm.

Gallardo

Alicia (Licha) Gallardo was born in 1934 in Laredo, TX and died peacefully in her home on June 1, 2022 at the age of 87. She was preceded in death by her father and mother Vicente and Antonia M, her brothers, Vicente Jr. (Ernestina) and Roberto (Isabel), nephews Vincent J and Bobby Gallardo.

Other family includes grand nieces and nephews and great grand nieces and nephews, as well as cousins and her Goddaughter Raquel Martinez.

Alicia fought a valiant battle with Parkinson's for 27 years. It is a disease that progresses in time and each stage presents more mobility challenges. Alicia met those challenges with determination and grit. She always made sure she looked her best from head to toe with shoes and purse to match.

A devotee of St Jude, there would always be Church visits on her many travels to different cities. When long distance travel was no longer possible, a trip downtown to the River Walk was an acceptable option.

There are so many people to thank during the last two decades. Anna would spend time with her on Thursday evenings for many months, Marisla became her caregiver three days a week in the early stages of her illness and also near the end. Joshua Gallardo and his mom Teresa were there at late night Emergency Room visits. Neighbors John and Nellie Rodriguez were always at our side taking care of us. Ruby Covarubias, one of her caregivers and also a friend to Alicia made sure her nails were always in top shape.

At her last stage, Alicia was spiritually supported by the thoughts and prayers of family and friends, who some lovingly called her "Ms Licha". She was attended to by the wonderful staff of Entrust Hospice of San Antonio. Also in assistance were Axis Home Health, Charles R Cervantes, Jr MD, and his friendly and helpful staff. We have much gratitude to Maria Victoria Alvarez, MD, her Neurologist that helped us navigate through her symptoms for many years and fondly referred to us as "the sisters".

Visitation will begin on Friday, June 10, 2022 at 8:30am at Delgado Funeral Home (2200 W. Martin St, San Antonio, Texas 78207).

Flores

Alejandro “Alex” Roberto Flores II, 42, was born August 7, 1979.

Alex went on ahead of those he loved to be with God on April 22, 2022.

Alex is survived by his mother and father Emilia Gomez Flores & Alejandro Roberto Flores; brothers Guillermo, Gerardo, Oscar, & Adalberto Flores; sister Daisy Flores; and his daughters Abegail, Alexandria, and Selena Flores.

He was known by different names to those he chose to include in his life. Whether you knew him as Alex, Beto, BA, Bro, Dad, or KKay to his “boys”..., he remained a sincere man who strove to be there for those he loved. He enjoyed his life as much as possible, at every turn he could, and lived it as he chose. Always content to enjoy some free time to just lounge around and chill, Alex was a passive and respectful soul, but he was not afraid to tell you his true thoughts. Like many others, Alex had his favorite sports teams, but he loved the San Antonio Spurs to the same degree that he loved his hometown of San Antonio.

Alex was a caring father who cherished his daughters more than they will know. His thoughts were always with them and he took every opportunity to let others know how much they meant to him.

Alex was a loving son who, despite his wild rebellious years in his youth, loved his mother and father who brought him into this world. He adored his mother and always showed his love for her in the best ways that he could so she would not forget.

With his siblings he was their “partner in crime” to some, an attentive ear who listened to others, a best friend, but always a kind brother who made it a point to say “I love you, Bro” with a hug before he left.

To their kids, he was a loving uncle, always asking about their well being. Always trying to help his nieces and nephews make better choices.

He wanted the best for his family. All of his family. And he was always looking to protect those for whom he cared.Alex was not perfect, but we loved him as he was because he was ours. There will be no other like him and he is missed dearly by his family, friends, and loved ones.

May he rest in peace and live on in our hearts and memories.

Martinez

Ruben M. Martinez was born in Hidalgo County on May 27, 1949 and was called to be with the Lord on April 1, 2022 at the age of 72. He passed peacefully in the comfort of his home while surrounded by his loved ones.

Ruben was born in South Texas but raised in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon Mexico. As the older sibling of the family, he took on odd jobs and became skilled at doing many trades. He eventually decided to leave high school to work full time so he could provide for his mother, stepfather, and siblings.

At 18 years old, he headed north and ended up in San Antonio, TX. At his time of arrival, he did not know anyone but was excited to start a new life and adventure in the United States. He ended up working and renting an apartment on City Street in the King William Historical District from Mr. and Mrs. Richard Garza.

After settling in and saving some money, Ruben decided that he wanted to purchase a house. He went for a walk down Guenther Street, “house hunting”, and ran into a home that caught his eye. He asked a gentleman what he needed to purchase the house and he replied with, “MONEY”. Ruben was excited and said, “I have that covered” in his own broken English vocabulary. The rest is history, in 1968, he ended up purchasing the home, bringing his bride from Mexico, and started a family.

Ruben was a jack of all trades and master of none. We all know him as “The Inventor” because there was a specific way to fix things and then there was “his way”. He loved to make jokes, gave nicknames to everyone, and LOVED his Futbol.

He always followed worldwide soccer but loved his Tigres and Rayados from Monterrey. Yes, these two teams were rivals, but he never chose a side to gratify his split family/rival siblings.

During his younger years he would make many trips to Monterrey, MX to spend the summer and holidays with his mother, stepfather, and siblings.
He would take his family to the rivers on the weekends, BBQ with his friends, and just enjoy life to the fullest.

Later in life, he took care of his grandchildren, went to their games, assisted his children when called upon, traveled to many American Football (Cowboys and Longhorn) and World Soccer Qualifier games.

Ultimately in these last few years, he essentially resided in his homeland of Monterrey, Mexico where he loved to be.

He was preceded in death by his mother: Victoria Moreno, Stepfather: Antonio Alvarez Rodriguez, and his lovely wife: Rosa Maria Martinez.

Ruben is survived by his children and spouse: Ruben Martinez Jr (Ana Maria), Gerardo Martinez (Jennifer America), Deyanira Orozco (Michael), Denise Gomez (Joe), Obdulia Martinez (Anna), Marlene Ramirez (Rene). 14 grandchildren: Nico, Rosa, Sabrina, Alexandria, Gerardo Jr, Anthony, Maddox, Misael, Mark, Marissa, Mariah, Julia, Alijah, Amerie, and 2 great grandchildren Aurora Luna and Nico Andres. Ruben is also survived by two brothers (Uncle James, Tio Tono), three sisters (Tia Nora, Tia Cony, y Tia Rosa), and many family members that primarily reside in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon but are throughout Mexico.

Visitation will begin on Thursday, April 21, 2022 at 4:00pm at Delgado Funeral Home (2200 W. Martin St, San Antonio, Texas 78207) with a Rosary recited at 7:00pm.

He also has 18 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren.

After graduating college in Waco he started Fern’s Air-Conditioning Refrigeration and Heating and was a proud business owner for several decades, who helped aspiring HVAC and refrigeration techs while serving the community. He was well respected by all in his profession and his services were sought after by many.

Sotero loved to ride his motorcycle with his wife in their early years and enjoyed listen to his records, 8-tracks, and his music on the reel to reel. He was a man that was good with his hands and could build just about anything. He enjoyed taking his grandkids to the park and out for ice cream. He also enjoyed learning and watching educational programs.

He was known as “Pops” in the neighborhood he lived in and touched many lives. He was deeply loved and will be greatly missed.

Sotero was a man a few words, but well known for his one-liners:

Where’s your old lady

It hasn’t rained yet

When I grow up, can I be like you

Would you just shut up, I’m trying to watch my show

What a joker

Jack of all trades, master of none

Bunch of jokers

Carrillo

Stephanie Casillas Carrillo, 52, of San Antonio, Texas, passed away on Sunday February 13, 2022, after complications due to COVID. A native of San Antonio, she was a big-hearted, fun-loving, and fiercely loyal person whose family and friends came first, most importantly, her daughter, Kathrine Harley Carrillo. She came from a large family, so even though she was an only child, she had siblings in the aunts and cousins who were close to her own age. And having been raised in her grandparents’ home, she was another sister and an integral part of the Figueroa family. As a tribute to her late mother Belinda Figueroa Rischner, she stayed connected to all aunts, uncles and cousins living in and outside of Texas. She became the glue in the family, keeping all members abreast of the other’s wellbeing.

Much like her late mother, she didn’t sugarcoat whatever was on her mind. Those who knew her from Connell Middle School or Phillis Wheatley High School would agree that she didn’t mince words. Even if she came off as tough, she was a truly kind and generous person who would rally in a moment's notice to lend a helping hand. Whether it was helping a friend move into a new apartment or caring for an ailing family member she was there when needed most. She was caregiver to her mother Belinda, husband Santos Carrillo, mother-in-law Blanca Carrillo and most recently her uncle Raymond Figueroa prior to their passing. She would often say this was her purpose in life and what she was meant to do.

The one area where she was unapologetically fierce, was when it came to protecting her daughter Kathrine Carrillo whom she adored. She was willing to fight tooth and nail like a lioness protecting her cub if need be. Kathrine, known as Harley to the family, was the apple of Stephanie and her late husband Santos’ eye. Cherished above all others, she will eternally be their pride and joy.

Stephanie is survived by her daughter Kathrine Harley Carrillo, brother-in-law Walter Carrillo (Rosamaria), uncles Robert Figueroa (Paula) and Gilbert Figueroa (Mary Ellen); aunts Mary Rose Elizondo (Mando), Diana Figueroa, Elizabeth Hernandez (Frank) and Denise Figueroa (Melisa) and countless cousins. She was also preceded in death by her father-in-law Osbaldo M. Carrillo, grandparents Amelia and Agapito Figueroa, aunts and uncles Hope Barrera (Ernest), Alma Henderson (Bob), Albert M. Figueroa, and Frank Figueroa (Pam).

She will be dearly missed by many longtime friends who were part of the extended family. And while Stephanie is no longer physically with us, what will always remain are memories of her larger-than-life personality and her infectious laughter.

Please join us to bid farewell to our beloved Stephanie on Tuesday, February 22, 2022, between 9 a.m. - 12 noon at Delgado Funeral Home, 2200 W. Martin Street, San Antonio, Texas, 78207.

Teresa Ledesma Garza

October 10,1947 - December 8, 2021

It has been said that good things come in small packages. This statement could not be more true about momma bear. Our beloved warrior queen stood at a mighty 4 foot 7 inches and weighed in at a whopping 80 pounds, soaking wet. However, don't let her petite stature fool you, she was a firecracker and an amazingly strong fighter. She had a heart of gold and a servant spirit. This is her story...

In the Spinach Capital of the World, Crystal City, on the tenth day of October in 1947, Jose and Maria Ledesma welcomed their first of ten children, Teresa. To some she was known as Teresita to others it was Terry, with a Y. She eventually made up the the better half of the power house known as TnT (Tony and Terry Garza).

After graduation from high school she moved to San Antonio where she met her husband and started her family. She spent many years helping with decorations and events at church. When her children started school she went on to help at the elementary school they attended. She became a member of the parent teacher association where her efforts were recognized and lead to a full time position with the school. She spent many years as a community liason working closely with parents and lending helping hands to teachers. Eventually she moved on to become a paraprofessional teachers aide with the BIC unit. This is where her nurturing spirit flourished as she was able to help with teaching and shower her students with love and affection.

Mom was a go getter who spent endless hours finding ways to help provide for her family. Yet she always made time to be present in their every day life routines. At our swim competitons, she planted a root and stayed all day even if we only swam one event. For home competitions she managed the best consession stand and provided the yummiest food choices. She always made sure to take a quick break to see us swim. She was the loudest and most supportive fan we had.

To know Terry, is to love her. Her life was spent moving. Always moving forward. Living for her children and their children and so on. Family first. Always. In the good times and especially in the bad times, look for the silver linings and do not ever lose sight of the good in people. Her legacy will live on in those she blessed with her presence.

On December 8, 2021, she passed away peacefully in her sleep. She is preceded in death by her loving parents Jose and Maria Ledesma, her sister Amanda, and her endeared son, Anthony. She is survived by her husband, Antonio (Tony) Garza. Her children (and spouses): Anna (Chris), Jennifer (Gerardo), and Angel (Sarah). Her grandchildren: Crystal, Jose, Alexandria, Christian, Skylar, Tylar, June Bug, Milagros, Serafina, and Adonias. Her great grandchildren Gianna, Zain, Sophia, Ethan, Jose (BB), Noa, and Gracie.

El Señor es mi pastor, nada me falta; en verdes pastos me hace descansar. Junto a tranquilas aguas me conduce; me infunde nuevas fuerzas. Me guía por sendas de justicia por amor a su nombre. Aun si voy por valles tenebrosos, no temo peligro alguno porque tú estás a mi lado; tu vara de pastor me reconforta. Dispones ante mí un banquete en presencia de mis enemigos.

Cardenas

October 28th, 1933- October 31, 2021

Thought of Dora:

Aurora Alvarez Cardenas was a protective mother, and supportive grandmother and great grandmother. She left her children the legacy and ethic of a hard day’s work, to receive well-earned pay. She was always there for us, to support our dreams, and achievements.

She loved family gatherings where all her family was present, enjoying a good conversation and good food. She loved to dance, with her later husband “ Dan the Man” and teaching her children how to polka, Cumbias, and the Lindy Hop.

Aurora’s love of plants and fruit trees, grown from seeds she collected. This activity kept her close to mother earth. In the morning you could see her garden. She kept a little pocket knife prepared to make cuttings where ever; she would encounter a desired species toad to her horticultural collection. Most of her garden survived the 2021 San Antonino Blizzard, and is still blooming as a living memorial to her life (Anecdote: The grass is green where you water is.) Aurora, Ama, Mom, Grandma, you will be missed yet never forgotten, peace be with you, and may perpetual light shine upon you.

Petra M. Lomas

29 June 1935 – 20 November 2021

The name Petra means stone or rock and that’s exactly what my mother was. Her strong character and unmoving will had a direct impact on the lives of her eight children. She pushed everyone to excel at whatever path we chose and always encouraged everyone with love and determination. She had a hard childhood and did not finish elementary school. She, however, knew what she wanted out of life; for her children to have a better life than she did. The turning point in her life happened when she met Jesus. She became a woman of God, a prayer warrior and In spite of limited means, she was generous and always helped others throughout her life. She chose to follow God because she wanted her children to know Him and they did. She was truly a matriarch that loved everyone around her. She never hesitated to help, lift, encourage or love anyone. Her warm smile always made our world right. She is survived by 7 children, 15 grandchildren and 32 great grandchildren. Her absence leaves a huge void in her family. While we miss her it isn’t without hope. So we don't say Adios but Hasta Luego Ama.

Gonzalez

Fidel Gonzalez, entered into peaceful eternal rest days after his loving wife, on Friday, September 24, 2021. Fidel was born April 24, 1937 in San Antonio, Tx to Luis and Isabel B.

Gonzalez. Fidel was 1 of 7 children. He is preceded in death by his parents, Luis and Isabel B.Gonzalez, his brothers Celestino and Luis, his sister Lupe and his son, Reynaldo Gonzalez.

He is survived by his children, RoseMary Rodriguez, Henry Gonzalez and Alice Gonzalez,

grandchildren Crystal Garcia, Erica Rodriguez and Reynaldo Gonzalez, Jr. and great

grandchildren, his sisters Angelita Rodriguez, Tomasa Gonzalez, Anita Maurico and numerous

nieces and nephews.

Fidel married the love of his life, Delia Gonzalez on September 6, 1957. She entered into eternal rest just 4 days before his passing. It was apparent that he was not about to live another day without her. "Til death do us part"was a vow he was not going to keep. He would follow her hand in hand. Fidel was a loving, devoted husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He was a reserved, proud man who loved his family deeply. He was a hard worker, and never failed to provide for his family. After many years of working for trucking companies, he retired from Wagner & Son’s Paving Co. Fidel was an early riser, was up by 4:30 am every day. He worked on his yard, plants and fed the birds. When he started to lose his sight, he loved sitting on the front porch listening to his Tejano music on his IPad and every now and then drinking the occasional “Nuevo Look”, (Bud Light) as he called it. He enjoyed conversations on the phone with his sisters and sometimes with his good friend, Mr. Cardenas who he may have just seen minutes earlier. He often joked with his granddaughters, Crystal, and Erica, always making them laugh. They were his pride and joy.

Fidel and Delia met while working at Centeno Grocery store. They described their meeting, as

“love at first sight”. They eloped on September 6, 1957. They had 4 children, Reynaldo, RoseMary, Henry and Alice Gonzales, 3 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. They both worked tirelessly to give their children what they needed including a home and loving support throughout the years.

Fidel and Delia spent their retirement years together, mostly in their home. They enjoyed

watching television shows, Spurs games, the Dallas Cowboys, Jeopardy, novellas and the daily

news. Fidel always gave his family notice of the weather forecast, “Bill Taylor told me it’s going

to rain, be careful”. They could always count on their dad to watch out for their safety no matter

how old they were. Their love of their family was most important.

They delighted in having their grandchildren and great grandchildren at their home. Walking into their home you were always greeted and offered food or a drink by both of them.They went out of their way to make you feel comfortable in their home. They always made sure to ask about family members by name and gave their blessings when you left their home. Delia was the cook in the house and was known by many to make the best Mexican rice, chicken mole and her famous crispy tacos! Fidel enjoyed every bit of it. Just a few short months ago their children were able to give their parents a wonderful gift. They helped remodel their home room by room. Fidel and Delia were beyond excited to have this beautiful home. It was such a blessing to them.They were married for 64 years, separated by only a few days in death, and will now be together in Heaven for eternity..

Visitation will begin on Thursday, October 7, 2021 at 4:00pm at Delgado Funeral Home (2200 W. Martin St, San Antonio, Texas 78207) with a Rosary at 7:00pm. The Funeral Home will open at 11:00am on Friday, October 8, 2021 with procession departing at 12:15pm. Funeral Mass will be at San Juan De Los Lagos Catholic Church at 1:00pm.

Gonzalez

Delia Gonzales entered into peaceful, eternal rest on Monday, September 20, 2021 surrounded

by her children and loved ones. Delia was born on March 24, 1936 in Cotulla, Tx. She was the eldest daughter of 11 children born to Olivia C. Sanchez and Gregorio Sanchez.

She is preceded in death by her son, Reynaldo Gonzales, mother, Olivia Sanchez, and father,

Gregorio Sanchez, brothers Fernando Sanchez, Margarito Sanchez, Abel Sanchez, and Ramon

Sanchez.

Survived by her children, RoseMary Rodriguez, Henry Gonzales, and Alice Gonzales, grandchildren Crystal Garcia, Erica Rodriguez and Rey Gonzales, Jr., and great-grandchildren. Her husband and father of her children, Fidel Gonzalez, passed away four days after her passing.

Growing up, Delia enjoyed school but discontinued her studies to begin working in order to help

her parents. Her siblings recall that she bought them groceries and clothes for school with every paycheck. Her Christmas gifts were always so very special to them.

Delia worked for over 30 years as a cashier at Centeno's and Handy Andy. She was dedicated to her job and worked long hours to help provide for her family. Delia had a few interests that were evident to anyone who knew her. She loved reading. If you bought her a book, she would

find time to read it, and might even read it a second time. She enjoyed fiction, romance novels,

and her bible. She also loved to iron (yes, iron!) and have an occasional margarita at her favorite restaurant, Cheddars, with her daughters and family members. She also loved listening to Tejano music in her home and cooking a good meal for her loved ones. Delia loved her family with every part of her being. Even though she was the most reserved of the eleven, she loved to visit with her brothers and sisters as often as possible, reminisce about the old days, and have some great laughs. It was a joy to see her laugh. Without a doubt, Delia’s love of God and her faithfulness were evident throughout her life. She was an incredibly devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Her love of family was immeasurable. Her family was her strength and her motivation for her hard work, and the consistent love she shared with them.

She was deeply loved and will be dearly missed by her children, brothers and sisters, nieces

and nephews. Fidel and Delia met while working at Centeno Grocery store. They described their meeting, as “love at first sight”. They eloped on September 6, 1957. They had 4 children, Reynaldo,

Samuel G. “Popo” Lara born on June 14, 1939 went to be with the Lord on August 8, 2021 at the age of 82. He is preceded in death by his father Manuel Lara and his mother Marcelina Faz Lara. Survivors include his loving and dedicated wife of 53 years Juanita Perez Lara, son Mark Anthony Lara and wife Melissa Hayes Lara, daughter Ester Lara Trevino and former spouse Alfred Trevino , sister Simona Lara Castillo, brother Frank Ramon, grandchildren Alfred Eugenio Trevino and wife Rebecca Trevino, Johnathan Taylor Lara and wife Melissa Fellmeth Lara, Marcelina Lara Huitron and husband Irwin Huitron, Nicholas Anthony Lara, Tristan Samuel Trevino, Emily Lucianne Trevino and other loving family members and friends.

Samuel proudly served his country as a United States Marine during Vietnam in the defense of his country. He was a proud Marine and instilled that same sense of loyalty and passion for service to country and community so much that he inspired his son and grandsons to follow in those same boots. He embodied the Marine Corps motto of “Semper Fidelis”, always faithful, in his personal and professional life.

After serving his country, he returned to San Antonio where he met a beautiful woman named Juanita Perez. She stole his heart and after two years of falling in love, they were married on August 12, 1967.

A few years later Sam’s career path led him into law enforcement where he humbly served as a San Antonio Park Ranger for 27 years. He truly enjoyed protecting and getting to know the locals and visitors to San Antonio. He always had interesting stories to share about his adventures and the fascinating personalities he encountered. He treasured the friendships he cultivated with his fellow rangers and often recounted their challenges and triumphs with pride and comradery. On January 31, 1997, Sam retired from service to celebrate the joys of life with his growing family.

Samuel always looked forward to football season. His favorite pastime was to spend Sunday afternoons cheering for his favorite team, the Dallas Cowboys. He could often be heard coaching the Cowboys from the comfort of his couch in his living room. He was a loyal Cowboys fan whether they won or lost.

There wasn’t a gathering that went by that Sam didn’t have a story to share or a joke to make you laugh. His dry humor was delivered in the smoothest of ways making those who heard him pause to think and laugh.

Vasquez

Evangeline Vasquez

August 24, 1937- July 18, 2021

Evangeline Vasquez passed away peacefully and with family on July 18 after a 14-year battle with Alzheimer’s disease. She was 83-years-old.

Eva was born to Jesus and Cleotilde Vasquez on August 24, 1937 in McAllen, Texas. Jesus and Cleotilde came to the United States from Mexico in the 1920s and although they could neither speak nor write in English, Eva earned a degree from McAllen High School. During high school, Eva was a member of the Spanish Club and the Typing Club. She also led the Sacred Heart Catholic Church choir as a soprano. Eva was known for her angelic voice and enviable sense of fashion.

After graduating, Eva—or “Vangie,” as she was often called—had a long and varied career, working in the retail, airline, food services, public safety, and insurance industries. She spent 27 years as an account analyst for USAA, when it was headquartered on Broadway Street. Eva was a proud USAA employee. She attended their annual Christmas gala and volunteered with their Golden Eagle Club, participating in local community service events.

Eva served her community beyond USAA. She helped with the Elf Louise Christmas Project and the MS-150, an annual bike event that her son-in-law, Dr. Naji Kayruz, raced in to raise money for multiple-sclerosis research. Notably, Eva was also a Bexar County Sheriff’s Deputy. She loved wearing her uniform, protecting her community, and being a “strong woman,” excelling in a field dominated by men.

Indeed, Eva was strong. At one point, she worked three jobs to feed her family and prevent the foreclosure of her home. Amidst such hardships, however, she remained childish at heart. Eva loved to tell jokes. She had an infectious laugh and made friends easily.

Another constant was her devotion to the Lord. Eva was a devout Catholic who prayed daily to the Virgin Mary. She kept an altar of the Virgin Mary in her home and decorated it with rosaries, flowers, and candles.

Two weeks before her death, in an inexplicable moment of clarity during the last stages of Alzheimer’s, Eva painted a statue of the Virgin Mary and sang a song to her, professing her love for the Blessed Mother.

Eva is survived by three children: Dr. Sandra Vasquez-Kayruz (Dr. Naji Kayruz +), Rudy Murillo III, and Sabrina Vasquez; four grandchildren: Melanie Murillo, Anthony Kayruz, Leo Murillo, and Arthur Murillo; four sisters: Victoria Kane (Jim Kane +), Teresa de Jesus Santellanes (Mauro Santellanes), Eufemia Castillo (Pete Castillo), and Lucy Davila (David Davila); two brothers: Carlos Lorenzo Vasquez (Irene Vasquez) and Jorge Eduardo Vasquez; and numerous nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents, Jesus and Cleotilde Vasquez, and her two sisters, Maria Padilla (Selvino Padilla Sr. +) and Carmen Hermosillo (Raul Hermosillo +).

The celebration of Eva’s life will be held on Monday, July 26th at St. George Maronite Catholic Church at 10 a.m. followed by a gravesite service at Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery.

The family requests that flowers be sent to St. George Maronite Catholic Church and donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Association in her memory.

After closing his business, he stayed busy, and more than anything else, he loved being with his family, especially all of his grandchildren. Everyone in our family was a special treasure to him.

Charlie was a born-again Christian. He spent many hours a day reading God’s Word, because he had a hunger to hear and learn more about the Kingdom of God, and then sharing what he found out with us. Now, he has reached the end of his earthly journey, only to continue his eternal life in the presence of our Lord Jesus. He is celebrating with all who have gone home before him. We are looking forward to that day when we will be together, AND our family will, once again, be complete.

She had a talent for rosemaling (Scandinavian decorative folk art), furniture restoration, sewing, and jewelry making. She was diagnosed with lupus early in her adult life and founded the El Paso Lupus Association.

Ann was a passionate advocate for students with learning disabilities and the visually impaired. She was a member of the Texas Association for the Education and Rehabilitation of the Blind and Visually Impaired and organized a conference in Laredo for the association. She was a fervent supporter for Laredo theater and volunteered at the TAMIU performing arts center. Her greatest contribution to her community was through the multitude of youth she educated, advocated for, and mentored at United High School. She served as the UHS debate coach and led her team to UIL state tournaments for 10 consecutive years. She will most of all be remembered as a deeply nurturing, caring, and supportive wife, mother, grand-mother, sister, and aunt to the family she leaves behind.

Also left behind is brother Roy; sisters Yolanda Aguilar, Anna, Alice and Sylvia Zamora along with many beloved nieces and nephews. Laid to rest with brothers Pete and William Roger Zamora, .

Jesse’s childhood took him through Laurel Steel elementary, St. Margaret Mary’s, graduating from St. Gerard’s High School in 1971. Throughout all of which, he was an all-around athlete excelling in basketball, football, and baseball.

Jesse worked with pride for City Public Service for 35 years before retiring only to accidentally start a lawn cutting business that blossomed by word of mouth. Jesse started his journey with CPS as a meter reader before becoming a Lineman and eventually retiring from a manager position; but Jesse was most proud of being a Lineman. One of his famous quotes was “I’m a Lineman, Lineman can do anything.” Jesse was always very involved in many community programs; volunteering whenever possible. He was always willing to take on coaching with CYO sports, grill burgers at the football games and even cutting and maintaining the grounds at St. Gerard’s church all while serving the school board for St. Gerard’s Elementary. He was a leader through all aspects of life serving as an example with the confirmation classes, Crusillo movement and any repairs or volunteer work needed by St. Gerard’s.

Daily he was known to attend mass at St. Gerard’s or Our Lady of Czestochowa. All of which he was continually active in serving as a lector or anything else needed whenever called upon. An avid disciple of the Lord he prayed multiple Rosaries daily, sending Scripture with personalized text to family members, lawn customers, friends and former co-workers. It all began in Dr. Estrada’s office (Dr. Theresa Estrada and Judy Sanchez, Chiropractor/office manager turned lifelong friends) when he overheard a few of the older ladies struggling to maintain their yards. Without hesitation he found himself with a small list of yards to be maintained. Lineman pride carried over into everything he did burning his efforts through San Antonio like a wildfire taking him all over cutting yards and before long it was a full-time gig.

Beloved by all who met him; Jesse will be honored by family at St. Gerard’s Church at 1523 Iowa SA, TX 78203 with a viewing at 3:00 PM on the third day of March followed by a Rosary at 6:00 PM.

Jesse always said that he would like donations to be made to St. Gerard’s Highschool in place of flowers. 521 S. New Braunfels Ave 78203. It is the request of Jesse’s wife Anna that the burial be for children, grandchildren, and Jesse’s siblings only.

Escamilla

Born to Ramon de los Reyes Morales y Carmen Gurrola Tovar, la Señorita Elidia Escamilla was born in Coahuila, Mexico on January 26, 1942.

Known by a variety of endearments to include Tia Lile, Manita and Gramo, she surrounded everyone with amor, carino, y consejos. The only thing she loved more than her cafecito y sus plantas, era su familia. A sibling to six sisters and four brothers, she was a nurturer from the start. It is impossible to find a person more welcoming than her. To any stranger she may have seemed a timid or stern woman; but to those closest to her she was a jokester, una dama de ingenio. La Señorita Elidia was a storyteller, and when she'd gather with family and loved ones, we knew to pull up a chair and prepare for the heartfelt chuckles her antidotes would bring. These stories were often coupled with a lesson, just so that we knew she cared and was looking out for us too. "Dale gracias a Dios," she'd say - a reminder to be grateful for each day, each experience, and for those whose paths you crossed with. She was more than una hija, madre, hermana, abuela, tia, prima y comadre. Once a light walking this earth, she is now an ember that will remain inside our hearts, fueling us to seguir adelante and become our best selves. We ask that you continue to share her stories, and the memories you created with her, in hopes that her legacy will be everlasting.

La Señorita Elidia is survived by three brothers and four sisters, her five children, six grandchildren, one great-grandchild, countless nieces, nephews, and cousins, and many, many more loved ones. She will be welcomed at the gates of Heaven by her late parents, her late brothers and sisters, y el Señor. She will be laid to rest in Piedras Negras, date-tentative.

Cervantes

On February 1 st , 2021, at 1:11 a.m. our beautiful and beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother and sister, Trinity Jimenez Cervantes, “Trini” reached out to grab the hand of Jesus and walk with Him through the pearly gates of Heaven to rest in his Glory, at the age of 82 years old.

Trini was one of the kindest and most considerate loving mother, sister, grandmother, and friend. She was a true walking saint of Jesus Christ. She simply was a walking blessing to everyone that she knew.

In the beginning of her journey, as the oldest of her siblings, Trini was blessed to be raised by great parents. Whom taught her many life principles. Her father while in the automotive industry selling cars, taught Trini to do body work on cars. Coming home after school to start sanding the cars her dad worked on and help prep them for new paint jobs. While on the other hand, her mother Elida taught her how to tend to various task inside the house. Trini was a hard-working person. In her adult years she gained a tremendous love and passion with the mentally challenged and disabled children. Trini became an immensely proud teacher working at Bexar County MHMR (for over 30 years) while she cared for and taught these beautiful children. She adored and loved these special children. She would always call them her babies. Trini’s unconditional love often had her going above and beyond her normal work hours to where she would volunteer to care for some of these children after work. Trini was able to achieve numerous certifications in the field of mental health and disability. A true heroine!!!!

Trini in her personal time, loved and had a passion as a seamstress. She was known by many for her beautiful wedding and quinceañera dresses. She also made and designed her own clothes and the clothes of many others. Trini was also gifted and talented with arts and crafts. She was a good artist using pencil and paints. Trini would hand craft dolls and stuffed animals, with a creative mind in making various unique gift items. A true innovator!!!

Trini was a selfless, caring, and devoted mother, who unconditionally loved her family. She radiated a beautiful soul and would brighten things herever she went. Trini’s generosity was one of her highest qualities, who would always give her last just to help others. Trini also was an entertainer who loved spending time with family, often dancing, acting silly, and joking around making everyone laugh. Trini’s favorite music was Tejano music and oldies but goodies songs. However, it was the sound of live mariachi music that especially brought tremendous joy to her soul. In her latter years you could not remove her from social media platform like Facebook and Snapchat. It was her way to keep in touch with the world. She created many funny snapchat pictures of herself using various photo filters. A truly free-spirited soul!!!

Trini’s spiritual life was also a major part of her journey in life, she attended Life Change Church, where on December 23, 2018, she was baptized in water, by Paster Bryan Thomas, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Trini would also love to sing along with a voice of an angel to praise and worship music, in honor to her Lord Jesus Christ. A true saint at heart!!!

Towards the end of her journey walking this earth, Trini was an extraordinarily strong woman, which in addition of raising her own children, she also raised four of her grandchildren after a life changing incident. Where she awaited her youngest son for two and half decades of being incarcerated return home. Although these were many days of trials and tribulations, she remained steadfast with her prayer and hope to see her baby son return home. Her prayers were finally answered in 2017. To that giving all the honor and praise to her Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ. Trini was a true believer and martyr for God, who now sits in heavenly places, resting in His mighty Glory.

Martinez

On January 21, 2021, Stella C. Martinez completed her journey on earth and was welcomed at the gates of heaven by her mother, Isabel, for a glorious eternal vacation. Stella had been waiting patiently to be reunited with her mother and in the meantime she lived every day to the fullest. She was born on June 12, 1947 to a family full of boys where she helped her mother cook meals and manage the house. She helped raise her youngest brother, Alfred, and as adults the two of them became inseparable.

Stella had a gift of bringing out the beauty in everything she touched. As a young girl she would style her neighbor’s hair and she would have all the trendy hairstyles of her time. She went to beauty school at the age of 16, became an instructor, and opened her own beauty salon, Magic Scissors, with her “sister” Yolanda. They were very successful and made many lifelong friends.

She was married to the love of her life, Juan Martinez Jr, for over 40 years. She said when she met him she thought he was so cute and looked like the actor Sal Mineo and later he would evolve into Tom Selleck. The main ingredient to their relationship was humor. If you had the chance to be around them it was “dinner and a show.” He had a way of making her laugh while getting under her skin. “Sigale Juanio!” she would say a lot. Through all their ups and downs they would still kiss each other good morning and good night. They both worked hard for many years to provide for their family and take care of anyone in need.

They had two sons Carlos (Debra), Bartolo (Priscilla) and her daughter Marisa (Javier). They were very involved parents and became even more involved grandparents with Seth, Logan, Isa, Kaylah, Allison, and Elijah. She loved styling all their hair, cheering at football games, having sleepovers, and hosting parties. She would cook delicious dinners and so much of it! Her large roaster would be filled to the brim with her chicken spaghetti and we would ask “who’s coming?” “Oh it’s just for us.” She didn’t know how to cook anything less than for an army.

After retirement, Stella enjoyed watching her favorite TV show “Bones” and Hallmark movies. She continued expanding her creativity with many projects. Her honey would “saturate” her with figurines from the Goodwill aka GW and she of course would revamp them into beautifully detailed Dia De Los Muertos figurines. He would cut the bedazzled beading off a chancla and she would redesign it into a lovely cross. She started making extravagant wreaths and had the opportunity to sell her all designs. Her warm cozy blankets are her signature pieces. She would say, “When I’m gone, my blankets will be my arms around you, holding you tightly”

Stella is survived by you and all those she has touched. She would like to thank you for sharing in her remarkable journey. Continue on making happy memories, spreading love to one another and remember family above all. “The sea is calling and I must go…”

She provided for her family through enormous sacrifices, kept food on the table, and gave her children the opportunity for a better life. Her

happiest days were to be surrounded by her family during the holidays for traditional gatherings.

Dolores always dreamt of traveling. Later in life, she took the opportunity to enjoy many trips, flying to exciting cities and leisure cruises with her older sister Gloria and niece Melody.
