Edelmira R Apodaca, beloved wife, mother, and meema was born in Santa Barbara, Chihuahua, Mexico on February 9, 1937. She was called to be with our Savior in eternity on October 1, 2025, at the age of 88. Edelmira died peacefully in her sleep after months in hospice care surrounded by her family.

She devoted much of her life to doing what she loved most — working. Her career began at Hortex and El Paso Apparel, where she took great pride in her work and the relationships she built. Never one to remain idle, she embraced new opportunities and reinvented herself with a fresh career after time spent at home. She ultimately retired from the El Paso Municipal Court, leaving behind a legacy of dedication, perseverance, and purpose.

She shared her love with the community by always extending a helping hand to those in need. She regularly donated blood and led initiatives to collect plastic bottle caps, raising funds to support children battling pediatric cancer. To know her was to witness the love of Christ in action.

Edelmira is preceded in death by her husband, parents, daughter Dian, and sisters Betty and Elva. Survived by her children Debbie Graham (Ronny), Arthur Apodaca, Jr, 4 grandchildren, Nick Graham (Jessica), Jessica Alvarez (Jason), Matthew Gonzalez, Martin Gonzalez (Danielle), and 6 great grandchildren.

Her life will be celebrated during the visitation on.
