In Loving Memory of

Hortensia R. Castro

Hortensia "Terry" Reza Castro, age 92, of El Paso, Texas, passed away peacefully on April 6, 2026, surrounded by the love she spent a lifetime giving to others.

Terry was born on April 25, 1934, in Gómez Palacio, Mexico, to Elvira Palmanes and Jose Reza. She grew up alongside her brothers and sisters in Mexico before moving to Miami at a young age. It was there that she found the love of her life, Robert "Bob" Castro, with whom she shared more than sixty beautiful years of marriage, partnership, laughter, and devotion.

Family was the heart of Terry's world. Everything she did reflected her deep love for those around her. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Terry built a life centered on caring for others and creating a home filled with warmth, humor, and joy. She worked for many years as an office manager for various companies in El Paso and was admired for her strong work ethic, generosity, kindness, and infectious spirit.

Terry found her greatest happiness watching her sons grow, cheering them on through every stage of life, and celebrating the families they built of their own. She and Bob were inseparable and could often be found together at social gatherings, dancing and enjoying time with friends, always surrounded by laughter.

Nothing brought Terry more pride than her grandchildren - Donte, Nikko, Rio, Rain, and Rome, and her step-grandchildren Nicole, Cody, and Genene. She delighted in every story they told, cheered their accomplishments loudly, and spoke of them endlessly with love.

She was equally devoted to her great-grandchildren - Julianna, Jo, June, Manuel, Vincenzo, Leo, Aniston, Nathen, Nevaeh, Mia, Athena, and Rose - embracing each moment she shared with them as a true blessing.

Terry's presence lit up every room. Her laughter was unforgettable, her kindness unwavering, and her love unconditional. She was famously the loudest cheerleader when watching her beloved Dallas Cowboys, a role she wore proudly and joyfully.

She is survived by her brothers, Fernando, Victor, and Louis; her sisters, Esperanza and Silvia; her sons, Robert and Joseph; her daughters-in-law, Lisa and Toni; her grandchildren; and her great-grandchildren. Her nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, and numerous very close relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Elvira and Jose; her brothers, Pepe, Raul, and Telmo; her sister, Nena; and her beloved husband, Bob Castro, whom she now rejoins.

Terry's legacy is one of faith, family, compassion, and joy. She leaves behind a lifetime of cherished memories and a love that will continue to live on through all who were blessed to know her.

A memorial service will be held on May 1, 2026, at

San Jose Funeral Home at 10950 Pellicano, from 11 pm to 3 pm.

Magdalena O. Nava

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 20:30:54 GMT

Magdalena O. Nava

July 22, 1942 - April 14, 2026

Magdalena O. Nava, de 83 años, de El Paso, falleció pacíficamente mientras dormía el 14 de abril de 2026, tras una difícil batalla contra el cáncer. Siempre enfrentó todo con fortaleza, optimismo y gracia. Estaba con miembros cariñosos de su familia.

Nació el 22 de julio de 1942 en Ojinaga, Chihuahua, Mexico. Se casó con Refugio Nava en noviembre de 1962, fue ama de casa, madre de cinco hijos y nunca volvió a casarse tras el fallecimiento de su marido en 1971. Trabajó en Economy Laundry desde su apertura y más tarde en Uribarri’s Accounting and Tax. La señora Nava deja en vida cuatro de sus cinco hijos: José Antonio, Leticia, Irma y Magdalena, nueve nietos y dos bisnietos. La precedieron en la muerte su marido Refugio y su hija Cecilia.

A Magdalena le encantaba cocinar, nadar y jardinear: sus rosas siempre eran tan hermosas y esperamos que sigan floreciendo. Fue miembro activa del Comedor Pavo Real en Ysleta, donde disfrutó del ambiente cariñoso y de las amistades que había formado a lo largo de los años. Antes de Covid, compartía su pasión por la cocina trabajando de voluntaria en la cafetería de la Iglesia Nuestra Señora de los Dolores. Ya que le encantaba nadar, visitaba el Centro Acuático William W. Cowan, donde rápidamente hizo amistades. Todos los que la conocieron quedaron impactados por su gran corazón, con quienes compartió generosamente sus "abrazos gratis".

Se celebrará un servicio en honor a su vida en la Funeraria San José Este, en 10950 Pellicano, el 24 de abril de 2026 a las 10 de la mañana. El rosario comenzará al mediodía y su entierro tomará lugar a las 2 de la tarde del mismo día en el cementerio Monte Carmelo. En lugar de flores, la familia sugiere donaciones al Hospital Infantil St. Jude para ayudar a niños que luchan contra el cáncer, como ella lo hizo, para tener la oportunidad de vivir vidas más largas y saludables. Te queremos y te extrañaremos.

Magdalena O. Nava, 83, of El Paso, passed peacefully in her sleep on April 14th, 2026, after a difficult battle with cancer. Her strength, optimism, and grace never faltered. She was with loving members of her family.

She was born on July 22 ^nd , 1942, in Ojinaga, Chihuahua, Mexico. She was married to Refugio Nava in November 1962, was a stay-at-home mom of five kids and never remarried after her husband passed in 1971. As an empty nester, she was employed at Economy Laundry since their opening and later as a bookkeeper at Uribarri’s Accounting and Tax. Mrs. Nava is survived by four of her five children: Jose Antonio, Leticia, Irma and Magdalena, nine grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husband Refugio and daughter Cecilia.

Magdalena loved cooking, swimming and gardening—her roses were always so beautiful and pray that they’ll continue to flourish. She was an active member of the Pavo Real Senior Center in Ysleta where she enjoyed the loving atmosphere and friendships she had formed throughout the years. Before Covid, she shared her passion for cooking by volunteering at Our Lady of Sorrows Church cafeteria. As an avid swimmer, she often visited the William W. Cowan Aquatic Center, where she quickly made friends. Her giving heart was felt by all who knew her, with whom she generously shared her “free hugs”. She had a giving soul who was felt by all she met.

A service celebrating her life will be held at San Jose Funeral Home East at 10950 Pellicano on April 24 ^th , 2026, at 10 am. The rosary will start at noon, and her burial will take place at 2 pm on the same date at Mt. Carmel Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital to help children who are struggling with cancer, as she did, to have a chance at living longer, healthier lives. We love you and will miss you so much.

Diving first debuted at the 1904 St. Louis Olympics.

The world of Diving in the City of El Paso has a rich history and today, April 16th, 2026 Janis B. Prieto (Jan) one of the greatest divers in that

historic history has passed away.

Janis Blades Prieto was born in McCombs, Mississippi in 1951. Kentwood, Louisiana was her early childhood home. The family then moved to El Paso where Jan resided for 70 plus years. She attended Crockett Elementary School and Bassett Middle School.

Janis was a 1969 graduate of Austin High School in El Paso, Texas. She went on to attend Louisiana State for two years where she was able to dive with the Tulane dive team. Janis then transferred to the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and in 1973 graduated with a Bachelor of science degree; additionally earning her degree as a Registered Nurse.

Once Jan completed her nursing degree she worked as a dedicated nurse in El Paso area hospitals. She started her nursing career at Sun Towers Hospital and worked her way up to head floor nurse. Janis subsequently served as a school nurse for 20 years with Ysleta Independent School District. Ultimately Janis retired from Riverside High School.

At the age of 11 Janis started diving and won five City Championships. During her four years at Austin High School, she competed in track and was ranked 1st in the State of Texas and 7th in the nation for hurdles in 1969.

In Janis’s first National Diving Championship she placed 17th out of 120 girls. Before Title IX (1972) authorized athletic scholarships for women, Janis took seven years away from diving to complete her education and to work.

Since 1978 Jan consistently won gold or silver medals in National AAU Masters Outdoor and Indoor Championships. Even after back surgery in

1979, Janis went on to win 11 more gold medals. In 1980 Janis Prieto was

awarded Female Diver of the Year for the Masters AAU Division and All American. A full time Registered Nurse, she continued to teach diving for high schoolers. In 1982 she placed second in the Grand Master Class at the AAU National Diving Champions. In 1983 Janis was inducted into the El Paso Athletic Hall of Fame. Janis was the 1985 World Masters Diving Champion in Canada. Janis competed in 20 United States Masters Diving Championships. She placed 3rd in 1988 at the World Masters Diving Championship in Australia.

Later, Jan expanded her teaching career and impact on the diving world by coaching college athletes at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces.

Janis’s passion for diving and dedication to her nursing career is her legacy in the El Paso community. At her home in El Paso Jan lovingly taught many young family members how to swim and dive. Jan loved

hosting family celebrations including her mother-in law’s 90th birthday celebration and Prieto family reunions. Her love of animals and all dogs especially Golden Retrievers was demonstrated by her lifelong devotion to helping animals.

Janis and her husband Phil (2022) of 42 years loved to travel across the country in their RV. They loved to scuba dive, go 4-wheeling, fish, boat, waterski, golf, and hike. Janis along with sister Patti took one more cruise to Alaska in the fall of 2025.

Most of all, Jan and Phil loved their golden retrievers and

took them everywhere with them. Sweet Max will be adopted lovingly by her

sister Patti.

Janis was preceded in death by husband, Philip Prieto Jr.; her son, Brody Prieto; mother, Frankie Blades Watkins; father, Robert R Blades; and brother, Robert R. Blades Jr.

Janis is survived by son Bryan(Cami), sister Patti Hragyil (Craig), niece & goddaughter Nicole, numerous Prieto family members, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.

Burial Services will be held at Fort Bliss National Cemetery on Monday, April 27th 2026. Services at 11am. Please arrive 15 minutes early.

Her beautiful smile invited joy, her embrace extended warmth, and her heart poured love into all who were fortunate to know her, especially her children.

Mamá, tu ausencia deja un vacío inmenso, pero confiamos en que nuestro papá, tu mas gran amor, te ha recibido en el cielo con gran alegría al estar reunidos junto a nuestros seres queridos.

Ceasar Robin Bayona, whose boundless warmth and radiant smile brightened every room, passed away peacefully, holding to the same positivity that defined his life. A devoted father, cherished family member, loyal friend, and beloved coworker, he brought joy, kindness, and steadfast love to everyone who knew him.

To my love Jesus he leaves a space that can never truly be filled, but it also reveals the depth of a life beautifully lived. He was not only a devoted husband, but a remarkable man who touched so many roles with grace and love. A caring son, a proud father, a loving uncle, a cherished son-in-law, a dependable brother, a loyal brother-in-law, and a true friend. He shared himself generously, bringing kindness, strength, and joy to everyone in his life. His presence brought comfort, his words brought encouragement, and his actions showed what it meant to live with integrity and heart. Though he is no longer here in person, the love he gave and the memories he created will continue to live on in all who knew him. His legacy is written in the lives he shaped, the family he adored, and the friendships he treasured. He leaves a loving wife, three sons, his 2 sisters, and many nieces and nephews that loved him dearly. He will be deeply missed, forever remembered, and always and forever loved.

El Hno. Avilez fue un hombre de inquebrantable fe, dedicó su vida al servicio de Dios y fue un pilar de “La Vid Verdadera Church” por poco más de 10 años.

Max nació el 8 de junio de 1953 en Ciénega de Silvas, Chihuahua, donde creció y conoció al amor de su vida Lupita Avilez. Su matrimonio duró 52 hermosos años.

Durante esos años tuvo 5 hijos: Rocío, Alma, Marisa, Edith y José. 12 nietos y un bisnieto. Max (Chimino) como le decían de cariño, fue un hombre ejemplar, trabajador, amado y respetado por todos. Sacrificó mucho para proveer para su familia a quien amó hasta el final.

A pesar de no saber el idioma y ser inmigrante en este país, logró establecer varios negocios. Entre ellos “Encino Auto Salvage”, “Los Pinos Ballroom” y por último “Encino Metals”, (su mayor orgullo). “Encino Metals” se convirtió en una gran empresa que emplea a varias personas. Mr. Encino como le llamaban sus clientes ayudaba mucho a su comunidad. Empleaba siempre a quien necesitaba empleo.

Cuando él llegaba a “Encino” lo primero que hacía era orar y leer la Biblia. Después se salía a recibir a sus empleados (quienes lo querían y respetaban) para hablarles de la palabra de Dios.

Max dedicaba su tiempo a estar con su familia, a quien tanto amaba. Le encantaba tener a toda su familia reunida. Ver a sus hijos y nietos juntos era su mayor orgullo.

Pero lo que al Hno. Avilez más le agradaba, era fortalecer su relación con Dios. De igual manera se esforzaba para que todo aquel que él conocía, aceptara a Cristo en su corazón.

Papito, le amamos tanto y le agradecemos cada una de sus enseñanzas y esfuerzos. Lo vamos a extrañar hasta el día que nos volvamos a ver. Silverito, gracias por haberme dado una vida tan feliz. Te amaré por siempre.

“Peleó la buena batalla, acabó la carrera, guardó la fe” 2 Tim.4-7

In Loving Memory of

Luis Felix Guerra

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of

Luis Guerra, who left us at the age of 74.

Luis was a longtime resident of El Paso, Texas,

where he built a life centered around the people

and moments he loved most. He was a man who

truly cherished time spent with family and

friends, creating memories that will be treasured

forever.

He found joy in the outdoors, especially camping

and off-roading-places where he felt most at

peace and most himself. Whether surrounded by

nature or sitting among loved ones, Luis brought

a sense of warmth, laughter, and connection

wherever he went.

Affectionately known as "Mr. G," he was

someone people gravitated toward-steady, kind,

and full of life. His presence left a lasting

impression on everyone lucky enough to know

him.

Luis is survived by his beloved spouse, Martha

Perales-Guerra; his sons, Luis Sergio Guerra and

Arturo Guerra; and his cherished grandchildren,

Luis Antonio Guerra, Elyze Espinoza, Alexis De

La Cruz, Esteban De La Cruz, Liam Guerra, and

Riana Guerra, who carry forward his legacy of

love, strength, and devotion to family.

To know Luis was to love him. He will be deeply

missed, but his memory will live on in the stories

shared, the laughter remembered, and the love

he gave so freely.

In Loving Memory of

Linda Kay Scroggs

Linda Kay Scroggs, 80, passed away peacefully on March 15, 2026, in El Paso, Texas. She was born October 12, 1945, in Wichita Falls, Texas, to Edward and Juanita Pearcy.

Linda’s life was shaped by her unique connection to the military community, having experienced military life throughout both her childhood and adulthood. It was during her time attending school in France that she met the love of her life, Larry Scroggs. The two were married on December 9, 1967, in Wichita Falls, Texas, and shared a devoted and loving marriage until his passing in 2019. Their bond was a constant source of strength and joy throughout her life.

A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, Linda dedicated herself wholeheartedly to her family. She found great purpose in supporting not only her own children but also the children of fellow military families. Her home was always filled with warmth, laughter, and open doors, and she took special joy in bringing loved ones together around her table. Linda enjoyed playing softball in her younger years and later found her greatest happiness in cheering from the sidelines as her children played sports.

Once her children were grown, Linda continued her lifelong calling to care for others by serving her community in El Paso as a Certified Nurse Aide. She worked in the pediatrics unit at Southwestern General Hospital and provided compassionate home healthcare, touching many lives with her gentle care and kindness. Linda will be remembered for her warm smile, her love of the color purple, and the welcoming spirit that made everyone feel at home in her presence. In quieter moments, she enjoyed watching the Food Network, classic black-and-white westerns, and spending time with the animals she adored.

She is survived by her daughter, Nita Tinney; her son, Steven Scroggs; her daughter-in-law, Oddray Scroggs; her sisters, Carol Bowen and Lisa Smith; her granddaughters, Christen Jones and Shania Tinney; her great- grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Edward and Juanita Pearcy; her beloved husband, Larry Scroggs; her brother, Edward Pearcy; and her grandson, Christopher Jones.

Linda’s life was a beautiful reflection of love, resilience, compassion, and unwavering devotion to family. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her, but her love and the memories she created will live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind.

Funeral services will be held on April 15, 2026, at San Jose Funeral Home, located at 10950 Pellicano Drive, El Paso, Texas 79935. Viewing will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., with services beginning at 11:00 a.m.

In Loving Memory of

Dina Jones

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Dina Jones, who entered into eternal rest on March 13, 2026, in El Paso, Texas.

If we could have envisioned the essence of a best friend, confidante, and truly loving soul, it would undoubtedly, Dina. She embodied a remarkable blend of grit, tenacity, and unconditional love.

While she was human and far from perfect, her spirit radiated warmth and compassion. Her blunt honesty often brought clarity to difficult situations, and her witty sense of humor could light up any room, reminding us all not to take life too seriously.

Dina touched the lives of everyone she encountered, leaving a profound impact that is felt by many and will be missed so very much. She had an extraordinary gift for making others feel heard, understood, and accepted, regardless of their circumstances. Through her example, she taught us the importance of empathy over judgment and encouraged us to understand rather than criticize.

She lived by a simple yet profound truth: give from the heart without expecting anything in return or feeling any regret. Dina always carried a quiet mission to lift others up, it was a trait her daughters knew best through the fierce love and constant encouragement she gave them throughout their lives.

Dina dedicated over 23 years of service to the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES). With an adventurous heart, she spent her career serving those who serve, taking special pride in her time stationed in Kuwait.

Dina’s life was a testament to selfless love, and her legacy will continue to inspire us as we strive to carry forward her lessons of courage, compassion, love and generosity.

She is survived by her loving husband, Linwood Jones; her daughters Carrie and Ruth; her five grandchildren, sister Elisabeth, brother Flavio and a wide circle of family and friends who will miss her immensely.

Service Information:

Family and friends are invited to gather for a wake on Friday, March 20th from 4 PM at San José Funeral Home located at 10950 Pellicano Dr, El Paso, TX 79935. A Rosary will be held at 7 PM.

Con profundo dolor, anunciamos el sensible fallecimiento de nuestra querida Dina Jones, quien entró en el descanso eterno el 13 de marzo de 2026 en El Paso, Texas.

Si pudiéramos imaginar la esencia de lo que es una mejor amiga, una confidente y un alma verdaderamente amorosa, sin duda alguna esa sería Dina. Ella personificaba una mezcla admirable de fuerza, tenacidad y amor incondicional. Aunque era humana y no pretendía ser perfecta, su espíritu irradiaba calidez y compasión. Su honestidad, siempre directa, solía traer claridad en los momentos difíciles, y su ingenioso sentido del humor iluminaba cualquier lugar, recordándonos a todos no tomar la vida con tanta seriedad.

Dina tocó las vidas de cada persona que conoció, dejando una huella profunda que hoy sienten muchos y que extrañaremos demasiado. Tenía el don extraordinario de hacer que los demás se sintieran escuchados, comprendidos y aceptados, sin importar las circunstancias. Con su ejemplo, nos enseñó la importancia de la empatía antes que el juicio, y nos animó siempre a comprender en lugar de criticar.

Vivió bajo una verdad sencilla pero poderosa: dar de corazón sin esperar nada a cambio y sin remordimientos. Dina siempre tuvo la misión silenciosa de levantar el ánimo de los demás, una cualidad que sus hijas conocieron mejor que nadie a través del amor feroz y el apoyo constante que les brindó toda la vida.

Dina dedicó más de 23 años de servicio al Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES). Con un corazón aventurero, dedicó su carrera a servir a quienes sirven a la nación, sintiéndose especialmente orgullosa del tiempo que trabajó en Kuwait.

La vida de Dina fue un testimonio de amor desinteresado. Su legado seguirá inspirándonos mientras nos esforzamos por poner en práctica sus lecciones de valentía, compasión, amor y generosidad.

Le sobreviven su amado esposo, Linwood Jones; sus hijas Carrie y Ruth, sus cinco nietos, hermana Elisabeth, hermano Flavio; y un amplio círculo de familiares y amigos que la echarán de menos inmensamente.

En Memoria de Nuestro Amado

Saul Rodriguez

Saul fue profundamente amado por su esposa, sus tres hijos, cinco nietos, tres hermanas y siete hermanos. El fue un hombre que toco los corazones de mucha gente con su alegría y su enorme corazón.

Saul nació el 11 de Noviembre del 1956 en Francisco y Madero, Durango, Mexico. Sus padres fueron Jose y Juana Rodriguez. Vivio en durango seis años para luego mudarse a Cd. Juarez, Chih, Mexico y después a El Paso, TX donde vivió el resto de su vida

Construyo una familia con su esposa Estela Rodriguez. Juntos tuvieron tres hijos, Lizeth, Jose, y Rosy. Tuvo la fortuna de conocer, amar y cuidar de sus cinco nietos, Jazmine, Esteban, Misael, Jairus, y Heaven.

Como legado nos enseno a amar y servir a Dios y hacerle a El el centro de nuestras vidas. Toda su vida se dedico a trabajar arduamente y nos mostro como con trabajo y honestidad se puede construir un futuro.

Saul era experto en hacernos reír pero también en confortar a aquellos que necesitaban una palabra de aliento.

Le amamos y le recordamos siempre con mucho amor. Recordamos todos momentos que pasamos riendo y llorando a su lado.

In Loving Memory of our

Beloved

Irma Adelina Juarez

Irma Adelina Juarez was a deeply beloved sister, mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend. She touched countless lives with her radiant smile, warm and caring spirit, and her fearless sense of adventure.

Irma was born on June 20, 1947, in Ojinaga, Mexico, to Florentino and Eloisa Juarez. At a young age, her family moved to Kermit, Texas, where she graduated from high school. She went on to attend Lubbock Christian University School of Nursing, earning her Registered Nurse (RN) degree. She later made her home in El Paso, Texas, where she built her career, raised her two sons, and created a life centered on faith, family, and perseverance.

She was the proud mother of two sons, Rudy and Danny, whom she raised with strength, devotion, and boundless love. Irma built a meaningful career as a nurse and found success as a businesswoman, always driven by determination and a strong work ethic. She was passionate about health and fitness, committing herself to daily workouts and completing numerous marathons—many of which she won in her age category. When running began to take a toll on her back, she transitioned to speed walking and earned the title of “Fastest Woman in El Paso” for her age group. Never one to slow down, she also embraced competitive dance, winning several competitions. Whatever goal she set, she pursued with remarkable discipline and heart.

Above all, Irma’s greatest joy was her family and friends. She treasured every shared meal, celebration, card game, dance, and storytelling moment. She loved fiercely and without limits, and her presence brought warmth and laughter wherever she went.

Irma was a devoted member of Coronado Baptist Church, where she served faithfully as a greeter and office volunteer. She was always willing to lend a helping hand. After her diagnosis, the love and support of her church family strengthened her faith and sustained her. Their visits brought her comfort and countless smiles.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her two older brothers, Alfonso and Oscar.

Irma is survived by her sons, Rudy Heredia, Danny Heredia and wife Gabi; her cherished grandchildren, Colton, Madelyn, Mason, Megan and Lauren; her sister, Hilda Davis and her brothers, Lenin Juarez and Leo Juarez. She also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever hold her memory close.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to her devoted caregivers, Gude, Yoli, and Karyna, for their compassion and dedicated care.

A funeral service will be held at Coronado Baptist Church in El Paso, Texas, on March 19, 2026. Viewing will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., followed by the service from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Coronado Baptist Church, 501 Thunderbird Drive, El Paso, Texas 79912.

Irma’s legacy lives on in the powerful love she so generously shared, her radiant smile, her unwavering strength, and her joyful spirit.

Rest in peace, Mom. You will be forever loved and deeply missed

In Loving Memory of Hector Vasquez

With profound sadness and deep gratitude for a life well lived, we announce the passing of Hector Vasquez, who departed this life at the age of 73.

For 24 years, Hector proudly served his country in the United States military, embodying courage, discipline, and unwavering commitment. His dedication to protecting others did not end with his military retirement. He continued his life of service as a peace officer for 15 years, standing as a steady and reassuring presence in his community. He believed deeply in duty, honor, and integrity — values he carried not only in uniform, but in every aspect of his life.

Above all his accomplishments, Hector was most proud of his family.

He leaves behind his beloved wife, Vasiliki, the love of his life and steadfast partner. Their bond was built on loyalty, laughter, strength, and enduring devotion.

He was a proud and loving father to his children, Christopher and Vasi, who carry forward his values, strength, and quiet wisdom. His legacy continues through his cherished grandchildren — Jenna, Georgia, Tyler, Julissa, and Giancarlo — each of whom brought immense joy to his life. Nothing lit up his face more than hearing their laughter or sharing stories from his days of service.

His love extended even further to his five precious great-grandchildren — Kennedy, Wrangler, Abilene, Julia, and Russell — a living testament to the generations he helped shape through his guidance, love, and example.

Hector was a man of steady strength, quiet humor, and deep compassion. To those who knew him, he was a protector, a teacher, and a source of unwavering support. He believed in showing up, standing firm, and loving his family fiercely. His life was defined not just by the years he served, but by the lives he touched.

Though he has laid down his earthly watch, his legacy of service, honor, and love will endure for generations. His watch may have ended, but his impact never will.

He will be deeply missed, forever loved, and always remembered.

In Loving Memory of

Maria M. De Chavez

Maria Chavez, 82, passed away peacefully on February 20, 2026, surrounded by her loving family and held in God’s grace.

Born on January 6, 1944, Maria lived a life marked by strength and faith. She dedicated herself wholeheartedly to raising her sons, meeting life’s challenges with courage and determination. She was a devoted mother to Fernando Chavez and Samuel Chavez. The loss of her beloved son Samuel in 1998 was a sorrow she carried with grace and faith.

Maria faithfully served the Socorro Independent School District for over 30 years as a cafeteria employee, caring for generations of students in her community.

Reserved by nature, she found her greatest joy in time spent with her family — her son Fernando, daughter-in-law Ericka Chavez, granddaughters Andrea Ajao, Bianca Valenzuela, and Alexandra Chavez, grandsons-in-law Omololu Ajao and Alejandro Valenzuela, and her cherished great-grandchildren: Elijah Ajao, Samuel Ajao, Ezra Ajao, Adalia Valenzuela, Lilia Valenzuela and Micah Ajao. She especially enjoyed simple gatherings and her son’s grilling. She is also survived by her siblings, Dolores Morales and Petra Morales.

Maria leaves behind a legacy of faith, perseverance and unconditional love. We find comfort in knowing she is reunited with her beloved son Samuel and resting in the peace of the Lord.

In Loving Memory of

Arturo Perez

Arturo Perez Amaya, age 85, entered eternal rest on Thursday,

February 5, 2026. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend to many. In his eyes no one was a stranger.

Arturo was born in Balleza, Chihuahua, Mex. Later moved to the United States where he became a US Citizen and made a great life for his family. He is survived by his beautiful wife Marcy, of 58-years, his 3 daughters, Sonia, Myrna (Israel), and Sandra (Royce), 4 wonderful grandchildren, Justin, Alejandro, Claudia, Valeria, and 2 amazing great grandchildren, Cecilia and Aubrey.

Arturo was a jack of all trades. He knew how to work on several things, but his passion was carpentry. He would envision something beautiful and build it with his own two hands, for example, building an addition to his home and a huge gazebo where many gatherings were made. His biggest hobby was bowling; he was great at it. Traveled to many places and won several tournaments which won him many trophies and perfect 300 rings. After retiring he didn’t stop, kept building things for his home and family but his focus was painting. He would paint for hours creating beautiful sunsets and beaches. He also loved to cook for family and friends to come over. Enjoyed going to the casino which made him very happy when he won but upset when he lost.

Arturo will be remembered for his gentle heart, his strength, and the love he gave so freely. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched and the family he cherished deeply.

Descanse en Paz

In Loving Memory of

Cecilia Pioquinto Lopez

Our beloved Cecilia Pioquinto Lopez, 81, passed away unexpectedly on January 29, 2026.

Cecilia was a loving woman who always spoke about God and His goodness to everyone she met. She never missed an opportunity to pray with someone in need or to remind them of the Lord’s faithfulness. Her faith was so big that she put her complete trust in God daily, walking confidently in His promises and encouraging others to trust Him fully.

Cecilia was born in 1944 in Deming, New Mexico. She was married to her husband, Cornelio J. Lopez, for 21 years. Together they built a home rooted in faith, love, and hard work as they raised their three sons.

She found great joy in caring for her family. She especially loved cooking for her grandchildren, pouring her love into every meal she prepared. Her kitchen was a place of warmth, comfort, and togetherness. Cecilia also had a generous heart and was always giving whether it was a home-cooked meal, a helping hand, words of encouragement, or prayer. If someone had a need, she responded with compassion and faith.

She is survived by her sons: Cornelio (Elsa) Lopez and their children Misael, Ezri, and Kyle; Noah (Corina) Lopez and their children Noah, Andrew, Jeremiah, and Sarah; and Jacob Lopez.

She is also survived by her sisters, Margie Pioquinto of Deming, NM, and Elisa P. Rudloff of Deming, NM. Cecilia was loved by numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins whose lives she touched with her kindness and steadfast prayers.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Francisco Pioquinto, and Refugia Pioquinto Aguilar; her siblings, Bernie P. Almanza, Francisco Pioquinto Jr., and Benny Pioquinto; her grandparents, Martin, and Marcelina Aguilar; and her in-laws, Manuel and Juanita Lopez.

Cecilia will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Her kindness, generosity, devotion to family, and unwavering faith in God will be remembered most. Her legacy of prayer, service, and trust in the Lord will continue to live on through her children, grandchildren, and all whose lives she blessed.

In Loving Memory of

Ricardo "Papa" Carreon

St. Peter opened the Pearly Gates and welcomed Ricardo Carreon, lovingly known as Papa, into the arms of our Heavenly Father. Waiting to embrace him were his devoted parents, Josephina and Andres Sr.; his beloved brother, Andy; his cherished sisters, Bertha, Blanca, Beatrice, Josephina, and Alice; and his precious grandson, Jason Carreon.

Left to treasure his memory is his loving wife of 73 years, Maria Helena, with whom he built a beautiful life centered on faith, love, and devotion. He is also survived by his children: Rick (Terri), Margaret Forrister (Kenny), Frank, and Bill (Cynthia); his sisters Fela, Lola, and Val; and numerous beloved nieces and nephews who will forever carry his stories, laughter, and example in their hearts.

Papa’s legacy continues through his ten grandchildren—Vinnie (Amy), Brian (Susan), Jenny, John, Aaron (Marisol), Michelle, Jamiee (Stevan), Leah, William Jr. (Kory), and Patrick (Kirsten); sixteen great-grandchildren—Jessica Rae (Noah), Junior, Deacon, Callie, Andrew (Lexi), Bianca, Christian Michael, Aeron Jacob (Dezaire), Cailee Rae, Alexis, Cruz, Brianna, Liam, Rowan, Tristan, and Tucker; and four great-great-grandchildren—Cruz, Luke, Drew, and Sunni Rae. His love, wisdom, and example will continue to echo through each generation.

Ricardo was born on March 25, 1928, to Andres and Josephina Carreon and was raised in Segundo Barrio at 268 South Santa Fe Street in El Paso, Texas. From a very young age, he demonstrated the value of hard work. At just four years old, he began selling newspapers for the El Paso Times in downtown El Paso. By seven, he was shining shoes for firefighters at Fire Station 11 on the corner of Paisano and Santa Fe.

At 17, feeling called to serve his country, Ricardo sought his father’s blessing and enlisted in the United States Navy. After completing basic training, he was assigned to the USS Blue Ridge in San Diego, California. He was immensely proud to be a Naval Seaman and to serve and protect the United States of America. Both the American flag and the Naval flag were proudly displayed outside and throughout his home as a symbol of his deep patriotism.

In July 1946, he was selected by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to participate in Operation Crossroads at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands, a historic mission testing the effects of the atomic bomb on naval vessels. Seaman First Class Ricardo Carreon was honorably discharged on October 15, 1947, and continued serving in the Naval Reserve until his honorable discharge on March 16, 1953.

In 1948, at the age of 20, Ricardo began working at the El Paso Times–El Paso Herald Post as a mailer. It was during this time that he met and fell in love with the beautiful Maria Helena Amaya. They married in June 1953 and, through hard work and faith in God, purchased their home in the Loma Terrace area. With steadfast devotion to their Lord and Savior, they raised four wonderful children: Rick, Margaret, Frank, and Bill.

Ricardo dedicated 42 years of faithful service to the El Paso Times, retiring in 1990 as Supervisor of the Mailing Department. His strong work ethic, leadership, and loyalty left a lasting impact on all who worked alongside him.

A faithful man of God, Ricardo openly shared his faith and often reminded those around him that without God’s help, he would be nothing. He was also known for his joyful spirit. A natural jokester with a contagious laugh and radiant smile, he delighted in surprising his grandchildren and great-grandchildren—hiding behind doors or sneaking up with a loud “Boo!” followed by his unmistakable, hearty laughter. He often joked that when the time came and his loved ones stood by his coffin, they should be ready for him to open his eyes one last time and say “Boo.” That playful spirit will forever bring smiles through tears.

Ricardo instilled invaluable lessons in his children and grandchildren: “Go to school—I know what I’m telling you.” Work hard. Show respect to be respected. Honor God in everything you do. Honor your parents. Dress well. Offer a firm handshake. Keep your word. Look a man in the eye. Protect your loved ones. Be faithful with everything God gives you. These teachings, and countless others, will guide generations to come.

Serving as pallbearers will be Bill Carreon, Brian Forrister, John Carreon, Aaron Forrister, Patrick Carreon, and Aeron Jacob Beltran—each carrying forward his strength, honor, and legacy.

Ricardo will be deeply missed, but what an extraordinary legacy he created in his 97 years on this earth. His life was a testament to faith, family, service, hard work, and joy. Well done, good and faithful servant.

Viewing services will be held on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., followed by the Holy Rosary from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., at San Jose Funeral Home at 10950 Pelicano Drive, El Paso, Texas 79935.

In Loving Memory of

Maria Valentina Picard

With profound love and heartfelt sorrow, we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend, Maria Valentina Picard , who entered eternal rest on

February 13, 2026, at the age of 80.

Maria was born on February 3, 1946, in San Juan Del Río, Durango, to Tomas Lujan and Gregoria Orozco. From her earliest days, she carried within her a strength that would define her life. Raised with strong values and deep family roots, she grew into a woman of resilience, determination, and unwavering devotion to those she loved.

She was married to the love of her life, Myron Junior Picard, whom she had 4 children with and was married for 20 beautiful years. Their love was a meaningful chapter of her life, and she now reunites with him in eternal peace.

Maria was hardworking, courageous, and fiercely devoted to her family. She faced life’s challenges with grace and perseverance, always putting her children and loved ones first. Her strength built the foundation upon which generations now stand.

She had a vibrant spirit and a sharp wit. Maria possessed a rare gift for storytelling — when she shared her life experiences, you didn’t just hear them, you lived them. She could make you laugh until your stomach hurt while teaching life lessons wrapped in humor and heart. Her stories will continue to be told for years to come.

She found joy in listening to her oldies music, filling her home with melodies that carried memories of her youth. She loved cooking and expressing her love through food; her kitchen was a gathering place where laughter echoed and no one ever left hungry. Helping others came naturally to her — her heart was generous, compassionate, and always open.

Maria cherished the time she spent with her sisters, Lupe and Minga, with whom she shared an inseparable bond. Their closeness was a testament to the deep importance of family in her life. She also treasured her nieces and nephews, holding them close to her heart.

She is lovingly survived by her children:

Lauri Ann Moreno (Gilbert),

Larry Allen Picard (Laura),

Lynn Annette Picard (Gabriela), and

Loni Angela Picard (Louie).

She leaves behind her cherished grandchildren:

Candice Alysse Moreno, Kristen Leigh Moreno, Evan Allen Picard (Rosa), Luis Gerardo Gonzalez, Levi Graham Gonzalez, and Landon Gotham Gonzalez.

She was also blessed with her beloved great-grandchildren:

Idalis Luna Picard and Noah Allen Picard.

Maria’s legacy is one of strength, laughter, faith, perseverance, and unconditional love. Though our hearts are heavy with loss, we celebrate a life beautifully lived — a life that shaped us, strengthened us, and filled us with love.

Forever loved.

Forever remembered.

Forever our Mom

3 de febrero de 1946 – 13 de febrero de 2026

Con profundo amor y un inmenso dolor en el corazón, anunciamos el fallecimiento de nuestra querida madre, abuela, bisabuela, hermana y amiga, Maria Valentina Picard , quien descansó en la paz eterna el

13 de Febrero de 2026, a la edad de 80 años.

Maria nació el 3 de febrero de 1946 en San Juan del Río, Durango, hija de Tomás Luján y Gregoria Orozco. Desde sus primeros años, llevaba dentro de sí una fortaleza que definiría su vida. Criada con valores firmes y profundas raíces familiares, creció para convertirse en una mujer resiliente, determinada y plenamente dedicada a quienes amaba.

Estuvo casada con el amor de su vida, Myron Junior Picard con quien tuvo cuatro hijos y compartío 20 hermosos años de matrimonio. Su amor fue un capítulo significativo en su historia, y ahora se reencuentra con él en la paz eterna.

Maria fue trabajadora, valiente y profundamente entregada a su familia. Enfrentó los desafíos de la vida con gracia y perseverancia, siempre poniendo a sus hijos y seres queridos en primer lugar. Su fortaleza construyó los cimientos sobre los cuales hoy se sostienen generaciones.

Tenía un espíritu vibrante y un ingenio agudo. Maria poseía un don especial para contar historias — cuando compartía sus experiencias, no solo las escuchabas, las vivías. Podía hacerte reír hasta que doliera el estómago mientras enseñaba lecciones de vida envueltas en humor y corazón. Sus historias seguirán contándose por muchos años más.

Disfrutaba escuchar música de su juventud, llenando su hogar con melodías que evocaban recuerdos inolvidables. Amaba cocinar y expresar su amor a través de la comida; su cocina era un lugar de reunión donde la risa resonaba y nadie se iba con hambre. Ayudar a los demás era algo natural para ella — su corazón era generoso, compasivo y siempre abierto.

Maria apreciaba profundamente el tiempo que compartía con sus hermanas, Lupe y Minga, con quienes tenía un lazo inseparable. Su unión era un reflejo de la importancia que la familia tenía en su vida. También quería entrañablemente a sus sobrinos y sobrinas, llevándolos siempre en su corazón.

Le sobreviven con amor sus hijos:

Lauri Ann Moreno (Gilbert)

Larry Allen Picard (Laura)

Lynn Annette Picard (Gabriela)

El legado de Maria es uno de fortaleza, alegría, fe, perseverancia y amor incondicional. Aunque nuestros corazones están llenos de tristeza, celebramos una vida hermosamente vivida — una vida que nos formó, nos fortaleció y nos llenó de amor.

Siempre amada.

Siempre recordada.

Siempre nuestra Mamá

Our beloved mother, daughter, sister, and aunt, Carmen Amaro left us for heaven on February 13, 2026, at the age of 75. She passed peacefully after her son reassured her that it was time for her to go rest — a final moment that reflected the deep love they shared.

Quiet and private by nature, Carmen revealed her strength and warmth to those closest to her. A devoted single mother, she built a life rooted in resilience and compassion. She loved tending to her plants, caring for her dogs, and feeding any stray cat that crossed her path.

A 1968 graduate of Fabens High School, Carmen, her mother and siblings moved to El Paso, where she began working at Farah Manufacturing. She went on to earn a degree in social work from UTEP, dedicating her career to helping others through social services.

She found joy in collecting Betty Boop dolls and angel figurines, watching reality television, traveling with friends — especially to the ocean — and studying curandera traditions, meditation, and Reiki.

Above all, Carmen’s greatest love was her son, Mark Amaro. Their bond was, and will always be, unbreakable. As he shared in his final goodbye, “It’s always been me and my mom from the very beginning to the heartbreaking end.”

Carmen is survived by her son, Mark, and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her mother, Aurelia Ocarranza; her sisters, Angelina Bracamontes and Estela Chavez; and her brother, Agustine Cortez.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you feed a stray cat or adopt a dog in her honor.

Services will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at...

Gabriel Luera

January 13, 1951 - February 8, 2026

The Luera family will receive friends and relatives on Monday, February 23, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., with the Recitation of the Holy Rosary at 7:00 p.m. Funeral Mass will be held on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Catholic Parish (Main Church). Interment will follow immediately at Mt. Carmel Cemetery.

Our beloved father, Gabriel Luera, born on January 13, 1951, was called by the Lord into eternal life on Sunday, February 8, 2026. He is now reunited with the love of his life, our mother, Bertha Alicia; his parents, Juan and Raquel Luera; and his brother, Adan Luera.

He leaves behind a legacy of love in his children: Gabriel Luera Jr. (Catherine), Eric Michael Luera, Tonya Marissa Cena (Phil), and Julissa Rochelle Luera (Jacob}; his cherished grandchildren Kayla, Eric, Aaron, Christian, and Kamden; his great-grandchild Aeros; and his brothers Juan, Samuel, Alfredo, and David Luera.

Dad dedicated his life to service, as an educator for Gadsden ISD and through his years working for the City of El Paso. But his greatest and most important work was always his family. He did not simply provide for us; he was present. Whether coaching sports, offering guidance, or teaching us the value of hard work and perseverance, he showed up every time.

His sense of humor and easy-going spirit made him beloved wherever he went. He had a way of lighting up a room, dancing without hesitation, singing with joy, and playing his guitar with heart. He could sit at any table, break bread with anyone, and leave them smiling. Dad loved camping adventures, family fishing trips, and long road trips, always preferring the journey and the time together over the destination.

Over the past two years, as he courageously fought to remain with us, we became his support system, just as he had always been ours. Even in his hardest days, he never failed to remind us how much he loved us. With his simple but powerful words, “Be good and do good,” he gave us a compass for life, a reminder of who we are and what we are meant to do.

There are countless stories we could share, but what remains constant is this: he was a devoted husband, an extraordinary father, a proud grandfather, and an incredible human being. His love, strength, humor, and faith will live on in each of us.

Raul had many friends and an extremely charismatic personality, was always the last to leave a gathering and someone who seemed to know everyone.

Raúl Ordoñez , de 93 años de edad, partió al descanso eterno el domingo 9 de febrero de 2026, dejando un legado de trabajo arduo, amor y devoción a su familia.

Raúl fue un esposo, padre, suegro, hermano, tío, abuelo y proveedor ejemplar. Le precede en la muerte su querido hijo, Noel Ordoñez. Deja a su amada esposa de 62 años, Elvira Ordoñez, con quien construyó una vida centrada en la familia, la fe y la perseverancia.

Fue también un abuelo muy querido de Sean Hernandez, Dominique Ordoñez, Diego Ordoñez, Anali Ordoñez, Mateo Ordoñez, Samantha Ordoñez, Sebastian Ordoñez, Olivia Ordoñez y Alejandro Ordoñez, quienes, en conjunto, le brindaron su mayor alegría.

Como empresario independiente, Raúl fundó y dirigió su propia compañía de construcción. A través de años de trabajo incansable y sacrificio, se aseguró de que todos sus hijos tuvieran la oportunidad de asistir a la universidad — algo de lo que se sentía profundamente orgulloso. Creía en el trabajo honesto, en hacer las cosas correctamente y en criar a sus hijos para que fueran independientes y autosuficientes. Fue conocido como un padre trabajador y dedicado, un hombre que valoraba la responsabilidad, la determinación y el proveer para su familia.

Raúl tenía muchos amigos y una personalidad sumamente carismática; siempre era el último en retirarse de una reunión y parecía conocer a todo el mundo. Le encantaba reír y disfrutar de los momentos sencillos, pero nada le brindaba más felicidad que pasar tiempo con sus nietos. Su presencia, ética de trabajo y amor vivirán por siempre en las muchas vidas que tocó.

La familia desea extender su más profundo agradecimiento a Julie, Mercedes, Laura, Alejandra, Daniella, y Alyssa gracias a su cuidado, compasión y dedicación hacia él y hacia nuestra familia siempre serán recordados con gratitud.

Será profundamente extrañado y recordado para siempre.

Jose Antonio Nazario

Jose Antonio Nazario, a beloved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather passed away peacefully on February 10, 2026 in El Paso Texas at the age of 87.

Born in Comerio, Puerto Rico, Jose was the son of Ramon Perez Nazario and Antonia Alvelo Centeno. Jose moved to San Francisco, California, where he met and married his devoted wife, Bertha Rodriguez, and shared a life rooted in faith, family, and service. Jose's life was marked by hard work and selfless service to family, friends, neighbors, and the faith community. He served quietly and reservedly, always ready and willing to share his time, talent, and treasure.

Jose is survived by his children: Marco & Naomi, Vicente & Haydee, Miguel Angel, and Anamaria & Annette Nazario; grandchildren: Kristal, Christopher & Celina, Vicente Jr & Amber, Sara, Leonard & Sara, Rosa & Allan, Marco II & Samantha, Andrew, Hailey, Cristian, Alex and 22 great-grandchildren.

Although we are heart broken by Jose’s passing, we rejoice that he is with our Creator and above all with his cherished wife, Bertha. Jose shared that his love for Bertha after her passing was written in the ballad of “Historia de un amor” and told us to listen to the words:

“Ya no estas a mi lado corazón,

en mi alma solo tengo soledad…

Siempre fuiste la razon de mi existir

adorarte para mi fue religion…

Es la historia de un amor

como no hay otro igual

que me hizo comprender

todo el bien, toda el mal,

que le dio luz a mi vida,

apagándola despues…

sin tu amor yo moriré.

Es la historia de un amor.”

His love and devotion to Bertha and all that they accomplished throughout their lifetime will live on in all of us.

En Memoria de nuestro

Amado

Rogelio Chavez

Nuestro amado padre nació en El Paso, Texas, el 15 de noviembre de 1929. Vivió una vida marcada por la fortaleza, el sacrificio, la humildad y una profunda fe.

Desde muy joven, cuidó de su madre y de su hermano, trabajando incansablemente para apoyarlos. Como padre soltero, se entregó por completo a criar a sus cinco hijos por su cuenta. Fue firme y estricto, pero siempre guiado por sólidos valores morales y virtudes. Trabajó todo lo que pudo para proveer a su familia y cuidó de sus hijos de todas las maneras posibles. Uno de sus mayores actos de amor fue preparar todas sus comidas, convirtiéndose en un excelente cocinero por necesidad y dedicación.

A lo largo de su vida, enfrentó y superó muchas batallas con valentía y perseverancia. Fue un firme creyente en el perdón, vivió sin juzgar a los demás y siempre estuvo dispuesto a ayudar cuando estaba a su alcance. Vivió de manera sencilla, sin interés en los lujos, eligiendo en su lugar una vida rica en integridad, generosidad y humildad.

Amaba bailar y llevaba la alegría en su corazón. Uno de los recuerdos más entrañables de su juventud fue haber sido matachín, una expresión de su devoción y fe que permaneció significativa para él durante toda su vida. Creía en Dios y tenía un amor y devoción especiales por María, la madre de Jesús.

Fue un hombre extraordinario, profundamente amado por sus hijos e hijas, sus nietos, bisnietos, tataranietos y amigos. Su legado vive a través de los valores que inculcó, el amor que compartió en silencio y el ejemplo que dejó a todos los que lo conocieron.
Siempre será recordado con amor, gratitud y respeto.

En lugar de flores, se aceptan donaciones a la Iglesia Guardian Angel Catholic Church en su honor.

Our beloved father was born in El Paso, Texas, on November 15, 1929. He lived a life marked by strength, sacrifice, humility, and deep faith.

From a young age, he took care of his mother and brother, working tirelessly to support them. As a single parent, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to raising his five children on his own. He was firm and tough, yet always guided by strong morals and virtues. He worked as much as he could to provide for his family and cared for his children in every way he could. One of his greatest acts of love was cooking all of their meals, becoming a wonderful cook out of necessity and dedication.

Throughout his life, he faced and overcame many battles with courage and perseverance. He was a firm believer in forgiveness, lived without judgment, and was always willing to help others whenever he was able. He lived simply, uninterested in luxury, choosing instead a life rich in integrity, generosity, and humility.

He loved to dance and carried joy in his heart. One of his fondest memories from his younger years was being a matachín, an expression of his devotion and faith that remained meaningful to him throughout his life. He believed in God and held a special love and devotion for Mary, the mother of Jesus.

He was an outstanding man who was deeply loved by his sons and daughters, his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, and friends. His legacy lives on through the values he instilled, the love he quietly shared, and the example he set for all who knew him.

He will be remembered always with love, gratitude, and respect.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Guardian Angel Catholic Church in his honor.

Jacqueline Braunston Bumgardner

May 13, 1949 - February 1, 2026

In Loving Memory of Our Beloved Mother Jacqueline Braunston Bumgardner

With heartfelt love and deep sorrow, we announce the passing of our loving mother, a woman whose life was beautifully shaped by her unwavering faith in God and her steadfast trust in Jesus Christ.

She left this world surrounded by the same grace, warmth, and devotion she poured into others every day.

Born May 13th of 1949, she attended Austin High school in El Paso, Texas.

She moved through life with a spirit marked by resilience, compassion, and a gentle but enduring faith.

Growing up in El Paso, she was shaped by a loving father who emigrated from Bucharest Romania and her mother, from Zacatecas, Mexico, in a home filled with laughter, tradition, and stories passed down from her parents, Jack and Mary (Luna), and spent summers in California with her brother George.

The belief that God walks beside us in every season was something she carried throughout her life. A blind date with the man who would become her husband blossomed into a lifelong love story—one she often said was guided by God’s hand.

Together, they built a family rooted deeply in love, hope, and faith. Her children were her greatest joy, and she raised each of them to know the strength of prayer, the comfort of Jesus’ promise, and the blessing of family.

She is lovingly survived by her six children spanning four decades:

• Daughter Joanna & her husband Freddy Reta, blessed with two grandchildren.

• Daughter Mary & her husband Scottie Coles, blessed with three grandchildren.

• Son Jack & his wife Rachel Bumgardner, blessed with three grandchildren.

• Son Michael & his wife Lulu Bumgardner, blessed with two grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

• Son Jacob & his wife Liz, blessed with two grandchildren.

• Son John Bumgardner, and his loyal dog Max.

She is also survived by her sisters, who walked through life with her in love and faith:

• Rachel & Albert Escamilla

• Ida Grochocki

• Shirley & Richard Garcia

• Norma Rosales

She surrounded her family with a Christ-like love—patient, generous, forgiving, and enduring familiar bonds. The legacy she carried from those before her—George’s loyalty, Jack’s gentle guidance, and Mary’s strength—was magnified by her trust in the Lord. Even in

moments that could have left her feeling alone, her faith and her family became her strength.

Her courage, kindness, and unwavering support were reflections of the faith that anchored her heart. She lived with grace, believing fully in the goodness of God, the hope of heaven, and the sacred power of love to heal, guide, and uplift.

We find peace in knowing she is now at rest in the presence of her Savior, reunited with loved ones, and embraced by the eternal light of Christ.

Her spirit lives on through her children, grandchildren, sisters, and all who were blessed to know her.

She is loved beyond words, missed beyond measure, and forever held in God’s eternal grace.

Funeral services and a celebration of life will take place at San Jose Funeral Home, located at 601 S. Virginia Street, El Paso, TX 79901.

With all our love,

Her family

Service time, Thursday, February 5, 2026, from 4 PM to 8 PM; prayer service by Family at 6 pm.

Joseph Craige Hill, born May 1, 1957, and raised in El Paso, Texas, passed away on January 13, 2026, after a long battle with cancer. He spent his life rooted in the community that shaped him and that he proudly called home.

Craige attended Eastwood High School and spent his early working years as a bartender, a role well suited to his natural ability to connect with people. He later continued his education at Western Tech College, which led to a long and dedicated career at the University of Texas at El Paso. Craige retired from UTEP as a Facilities Supervisor after many years of service, a position he took great pride in.

Craige was the kind of person who could talk to anyone about anything. He never met a stranger and had an easy, genuine way of making people feel comfortable. He enjoyed the simple pleasures in life, especially playing golf, cheering on St. Louis Cardinals baseball, relaxing with an ice-cold Coors Light, and listening to music, particularly Frank Zappa.

Craige is survived by his wife, Sylvia Hill, his partner in life and love, and his sons, Joseph Zachary Hill and Patrick Dylan Hill, whom he loved deeply. He is also survived by his daughter, Cassie Holguin Felix, her spouse, Kenny Felix, and his grandson, Russell Felix, who brought him great joy. Craige is further survived by his brother, Scott Hill.

Felicidad Lujan

Survived by Family

Daughters:

Araceli Lujan, Maria Lujan, and Suky Smith.

Felicidad Lujan was a woman whose life was defined by love, faith, and family. Married for 68 beautiful years to her beloved husband, who preceded her in death, she built a home filled with warmth and devotion.

She is survived by her three loving daughters [insert names], six cherished grandchildren, and three adored great-grandchildren. Felicidad’s greatest joy was her family—she never missed the chance to give them La bendición , a blessing that carried her love and faith into their hearts.

A devoted Catholic, Felicidad lived her life guided by prayer and grace. She found happiness in the simple things—listening to music every day, cooking meals with love, and making fresh tortillas when she was able. Her kitchen was a place of comfort, and her presence was a source of peace.

Her legacy is one of kindness, faith, and unconditional love. Though she has left this world, her spirit will live on in the hearts of those who knew her.

In Loving Memory of

Robert Hernandez

December 16, 1947 - January 9, 2026

On January 9, 2026 our loving Heavenley Father called Robert Heranndez home, welcoming him into His internal kingdom, where he now rests in the presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Robert was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, mentor, and cherished friend. He was a proud graduate of Bel Air High School, Class of 1967, and later earned his degree from the University of Texas

at El Paso in 1983. He was drafted into the United States Army and honorably served during the Vietnam era, answering his call to serve with humility and courage.

Following his military service, Robert committed his life to public service with the El Paso Police Department, retiring with the rank of sergeant in 1993. During his career, he played an instrumental role in the development of the department’s first Youth Explorer Mentorship Program reflecting his lifelong dedication and passion for guiding and supporting young people.

After his retirement from law enforcement, Robert continued to serve his community by teaching law enforcement and marketing at Eastwood High School and Parkland High School. His passion for education, mentorship, and youth development remained constant throughout his life.

Robert found great peace and joy in the outdoors and was an avid hunter, fisherman, and skilled craftsman. Above all else, he cherished his wife of 57 years, beloved Edna. His constant companion and forever partner in life. They were rarely seen apart, sharing a deep bond and unwavering devotion hand in hand through every season of life.

Robert is survived by his son, Robert Hernandez, Jr. (Janet); his daughter, Cynthia Marie Hernandez (German); his grandchildren Nicholas Robert Hernandez, Jacob Samuel Hernandez, and Noah Anthony Gutierrez; his siblings Rosemary and Richard Hernandez (Dorothy). He was preceded in death by his father, Pedro Hernandez, his mother, Helen Skov Hernandez, and his sister, Bertha Vasquez whom he now joyfully reunites with in Heaven.

Though we mourn his passing, we rejoice in the promise of eternal life, knowing that Robert has heard the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

In Loving Memory of Miguel Rodolfo Vega

We honor the life of Miguel Rodolfo Vega, 40, who passed away on December 27, 2025, at home in El Paso, Texas. Born on May 6, 1985, in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, Miguel later moved to El Paso, where he graduated from Del Valle High School in 2004. Miguel enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in February 2007, serving with distinction for over seven years. Attaining the rank of Sergeant, he served as an Aviation Supply Specialist. His service was highlighted by his bravery during Operation Enduring Freedom in 2009, and his numerous accolades stand as a lasting testament to his dedication, courage, and leadership. Beyond the uniform, Miguel was a lifelong learner. In May 2020, he reached a proud academic milestone by earning his Bachelor of Science in Mathematics at the University of Texas at El Paso. His inquisitive nature also led him to a deep and thoughtful study of the Bible; he loved God and found great purpose in his faith, having been baptized in Jesus’ name in March 2020. Miguel was known for a wonderful sense of humor that could brighten any room and a heart that loved his family, and friends deeply. He is survived by his mother, Silvia Vega; his sister, Edith Vega; his beloved children, Rubi Vega and Aven Vega; and their mother, Nayeli Gonzalez. He was preceded in death by his sister, Gabriela Vega, and his loving grandmother, Maria Segura. We will all miss Miguel dearly as we await the day we meet once again in Jesus' loving arms.

Velia Lucero Moreno Berta

January 22, 1940 - December 16, 2025

Velia Lucero Moreno Berta of El Paso, Texas peacefully transitioned from her earthly life into eternal life on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, at her home, surrounded by loved ones. She endured a brief but fierce battle with cancer, meeting it with quiet resolve. She never complained of pain and rarely spoke of her illness—often insisting she wasn’t sick—carrying herself with the same grace, dignity, and unmistakable strength that defined her life.

Velia was preceded in death by her parents, Gilbert and Refugio “Cuca” Lucero; her brother, David Lucero; her husband, Alfredo Moreno; her son, Rudy “Benji” Roman; her daughter, Christine Moreno-Lujan; stepdaughter, Renee Berta; her second husband, Alex Berta; and her stepson, John Berta. She is survived by her brothers, Gilbert (Velia) Lucero and Raymond (Carmen) Lucero; her daughters, Monica Moreno and Diane Moreno; her stepdaughters, Andrea Berta and Alexis Berta; her grandchildren, Amanda (Chris) Saenz, Steven (Francesca) Loera, Brittany (Alfredo) Jaso, and Samantha Jaso; her step grandchild, Hailey Berta; her great-grandchildren, Alahni Loera, Cruz Jaso-Campos, Steven Loera Jr, and Scarlett Loera; many nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends who will continue to carry her love and legacy forward.

Velia was born on January 22, 1940, in her family’s home in La Mesa, New Mexico. Around the age of ten, she moved with her family to Alamogordo, where she grew up in the projects, took her first job at the Hi-D-Ho Drive-In, and later graduated from Alamogordo High School. She eventually relocated to El Paso, Texas, where she built a life defined by perseverance, family, and quiet courage—graceful in manner, yet resilient and strong.

Throughout her life, Velia held various positions, including at Hotel Dieu Hospital, Southern Union Gas Company, MBank, Surety Savings, and a franchise owner of a staffing agency. A first-generation college graduate, she earned a finance degree from The University of Texas at El Paso in 1987—an achievement that reflected her determination and belief in what was possible. She was a dedicated and hardworking woman, who alongside her husband Alex, became the cofounder of The Job Connection, established in 2001, where she remained actively involved throughout her life.

Velia will be fondly remembered for her glamour and elegance, her sharp sense of humor, and her enjoyment of life’s simple pleasures. She never missed wine time and was fiercely loyal to her Wine of the Quarter subscription. She had a deep love for music and adventure, especially for Little Joe, a musician she admired and eventually became great friends with. Whether enjoying a song, sharing a laugh, or offering quiet encouragement, Velia knew how to live fully and on her own terms.

Velia’s visitation and services were held on December 19th and 20th, 2025. The rosary and Mass were celebrated at Cristo Rey Monastery of Perpetual Adoration in El Paso, Texas, followed by her interment at Holy Angels Cemetery in Alpine, Texas. Pallbearers included Steven Loera, Alfredo Campos, Chris Jones, Bart Bandy, Ralph Aguilera, and Eddie Garcia. Honorary pallbearers were Gilbert Lucero, Raymond Lucero, Armando Marquez, Jerry Marquez, and Jacob Lucero. The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Reverend Wilbert Colas and Reverend Edroud Jean for their guidance and support with the services.

Velia was deeply loved. She leaves behind a family who will forever cherish her elegance, her humor, her quiet watchfulness, and the memories that allow us to smile even through our tears. As we remember her life, we honor her spirit and send her forward with love—Drive friendly and Vaya con Dios.

En Memoria de..

Bibiano Del Villar.

Hoy queremos honrar y despedir a nuestro Padre Bibiano Del Villar. Nacido El 2 de Diciembre de 1929 en Somerton Az. Siendo el más pequeño de todos sus hermanos, dentro de una familia sencilla, de muchos valores que le enseñó a ser buen hombre y a ayudar a los demás.

En 1954 se casó con mi Madre Graciela Cuellar en la Ciudad de Chihuahua. Tuvieron 4 hijos, Elsa, Jesus Fernando, Irma y Rosana. Trabajó por 40 años en Levi's Strauss.Co. Fué un hombre muy trabajor, preocupado siempre en darle lo mejor a su familia. Buen padre esposo y abuelo. De fuerte carácter y personalidad. Durante su vida sufrió la pérdida de su primera hija Elsa que solo vivió 45 días. Años después sufrió de càncer que logró vencer. En sus últimos años enfermó de una infección muy grave en la sangre que le afectó muy seriamente su corazón.

La frase que más recuerdo y me divierte era "Desde que el mundo es mundo, el gordo es gordo, el flaco es flaco y ahí la llevamos". Su comida favorita puedo decir que era el asado de puerco. Su pasatiempo favorito era la jardinería. Nos deja muchas vivencias y recuerdos. Le agradezco a Dios y a la vida de haberlo tenido por muchos años.

Murió el 20 de Diciembre de 2025 a los 96 años a causa de un paro cardiaco.

Hoy no decimos adios, solo gracias por cada instante que nos regalaste.

Her biggest joy in life came from her nieces and nephews and being able to watch them dance, play sports and grow into the beautiful people they have become.

Her memory will be cherished by countless cousins, close friends, her Pool family, and Dr. Yusoof who never gave up on her.

Margarita Del Toro De Morales

Nació el 30 de diciembre de 1957 en Torreón, Coahuila. Falleció el 30 de noviembre del 2025 en El Paso, Texas. A la edad de 68 años.

Amada esposa de Víctor Morales, Madre fuerte de 3 hijos Cesar, Luis y Víctor, Abuela cariñosa de Jasón, Lizbeth, Geovanny, Ella y Damian, Hija de Guadalupe y Rosita, Hermana protectora y amiga fiel.

Mujer bondadosa que sin dudarlo extendió su mano cálida, con amor. De carácter fuerte, necia, obstinada y firme en sus decisiones pero amorosa con las personas que rodeaban su entorno.

Decidida en cuidar y proteger a quien más lo necesitaba, sus perritos; brindándoles calidad de vida y así sumándole felicidad a la suya. A los que compartimos con ella nos dio grandes anécdotas, compartidas con gran alegría, otras con tristeza recordadas con nostalgia y alegría. Siempre procuro mejorar la vida de todos, dándolo todo y más, aunque sus manos quedaran vacías. Su historia de vida nos deja saber que sin tener nada a favor fue tan fuerte, valiente,resiliente y guerrera que siempre se pudo levantar y con mucha más fuerza, con la cabeza arriba y por sus propios medios.

Sus consejos algunas veces podían sonar algo fuertes, duros e incluso disparatados pero asegurando que fuera lo mejor para ti. Nos dejó un legado con valores altruistas muy altos, dándonos lecciones marcadas con el ejemplo de sus propias acciones.

Quedamos con un gran dolor, una profunda tristeza, muchos corazones rotos y el vacío en el pecho, pero con la certeza de que ahora comparte con su gran amor Víctor, que ya la esperaba y aunque para nosotros fue pronta su partida, para ellos tardo lo necesario.

La despediremos en San José Funeral Home “A” el día viernes 12 de diciembre del 2025. De 16:00 a 20:00.

Bertha Rodriguez Nazario, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on December 1, 2025, in El Paso, Texas, at the age of 87.

Born on May 13, 1936, in Salaices, Chihuahua, Mexico, Bertha was the cherished daughter of Vicente Rodríguez and Guadalupe Gutiérrez. In June of 1959, she married her devoted husband, Jose Antonio Nazario, with whom she shared a life rooted in faith, family, and service.

Together, they helped found the Movimiento Familiar Cristiano Católico/Encuentro Conyugal Católico in 1960, a ministry that strengthened countless marriages and families. Bertha’s entrepreneurial spirit led her to open Bertha Beauty Salon in San Francisco in 1975, and later to establish Mi Casita Day Care in 1987 and Noah’s Nook in 2005, and still instituted to this day. In 1977, she was instrumental in founding the Iglesia Católica in Salaices, Chihuahua, leaving a lasting spiritual legacy in her hometown.

Bertha’s faith was the cornerstone of her life. She served as a church coordinator, retreat leader, pre-marital counselor, and tireless volunteer, always offering her compassion and encouragement. She was happiest surrounded by children—her own, her grandchildren, her great-grandchildren, and the many daycare children who held a special place in her heart. Her famous words, passed down through generations, remain a loving reminder of her devotion: “Fueron a Misa”

She is survived by her children: Marco A. Nazario, Vicente J. Nazario, MiguelAngel Nazario, and Anamaria Nazario; her grandchildren: Kristal Nazario & Family, Christopher Nazario & Family, Leonard Sosa & Family, Vicente J. Nazario Jr. & Family, Sara N. Nazario, Rosa Castanon & Family, Cristian Mayen & Family, Marco A. Nazario II & Family, Andrew Ceniceros, Hailey Ceniceros, Alex Mayen; and her 22 great-grandchildren, who will forever carry her love and example in their lives. She was preceded in death by her grandson Jeremiah Nazario. Bertha is also remembered by her siblings: Chole†, Fabian†, Manuela†, Margarita, Samuelito†, Gloria†, Vicente, and Samuel†.

Jose Antonio Perez

Con profunda tristeza, pero también con enorme gratitud por la vida que compartió con nosotros, anunciamos que José Antonio Pérez pasó a mejor vida el pasado 25 de noviembre en El Paso, Texas, rodeado del amor de su familia. José nació el 19 de marzo de 1948 en León, Guanajuato, donde comenzó una vida marcada por el trabajo honrado, la alegría y el amor por los suyos.

José fue un hombre de espíritu luminoso y corazón grande. Quienes lo conocieron recordarán siempre su forma de llenar una habitación con su sonrisa, su buen humor y esa energía inagotable que hacía sentir a todos bienvenidos. Le encantaba bailar, cantar y disfrutar de la música que tanto lo acompañó a lo largo de su vida. Aún podemos imaginarnos sus pasos al ritmo de sus canciones favoritas, su voz entonando melodías con sentimiento y ese brillo en sus ojos al tener a su familia reunida.

El trabajo fue uno de los grandes pilares de su vida. Siempre fue un hombre esforzado y responsable, decidido a sacar a su familia adelante con dedicación, sacrificio y amor. Cada día lo entregó todo para asegurar que sus seres queridos tuvieran un futuro mejor. No enseñaba con discursos largos, sino con el ejemplo: disciplina, humildad y constancia fueron parte de su esencia y hoy forman parte del legado que deja en quienes tuvieron el privilegio de aprender de él.

Su memoria vivirá para siempre en los corazones de quienes lo amaron. Será recordado con profundo cariño por su esposa, Manuela Pérez la cual lo acompaño con devoción y constancia a lo largo de 50 años de matrimonio; sus hijos Gustavo, Nora, Karina y Gabriel Perez. Asi mismo que sus nietos Azael, Gemma y Emiliano, quienes fueron el orgullo y la luz de su vida. Para ellos y para toda su familia, José seguirá siendo un faro de amor, fortaleza y unidad.

Que José Antonio Pérez descanse en paz eterna. Su voz, su risa, su música y su ejemplo perdurarán en cada recuerdo, en cada historia compartida y en cada generación que seguirá caminando guiada por el amor que él sembró.

Asencion Ramirez

May 2, 1940 - November 21, 2025

With heavy hearts, we announce the peaceful passing of Asencion “Chon” Ramirez of Cd. Juarez, Chih, a loyal husband, devoted father, grandfather, friend and gentle soul whose presence brought a smile, warmth and steadiness to everyone around him. He was the last of a generation in that line of the Ramirez family.

Chon was a loving and patient father, and a man who led by quiet example. He was a wise and thoughtful man. Humble and kind, he was known for his unselfish heart and the way he gave his attention generously to others, making every person who crossed his path feel seen and valued.

A great provider, he cared deeply for his family, not only through his hard work but through the simple, everyday acts that revealed his character. He enjoyed nothing more than sitting at the table talking with his beloved wife and friends and family, sharing stories, laughter, and the comfort of companionship built over years.

He was famous for his burritos, a family favorite that no one could quite recreate. He cherished time with his friends and family, especially when gathered around a table to play lotería, filling the room with joy, friendly competition, and connection.

A neighborly and gracious man, he greeted others with a smile that warmed hearts and made them feel welcome. As a grandfather, he was attentive and engaged, always ready to play, listen, or simply sit with the ones who adored him.

Above all, he was a kind human being, the sort of person whose legacy is not measured in grand gestures but in the countless quiet moments of love, patience, and generosity he offered throughout his life.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who were fortunate enough to know him.

He is survived by his dear friends from Segundo Barrio, whom he cared for deeply. He is also survived by his son Ruben Ramirez and Arturo and Isela Torres, grandsons Yadira Silva, Jaime Torres, Landon Ramirez and Corbin Ramirez. He was preceded in death by his parents Julia Rivera of Agua Nueva, Chih and his father Feliciano Ramirez of Leon, Guanajuato, and his brothers Santos Ramirez and his sisters Maria Luisa Ramirez, Guillermina Ramirez Luna, Rosalia Ramirez Carrillo, Justina Ramirez Luevano, Ramona Guerrero Ramirez and Josefina Ramirez Gutierrez.

Juan Duron Jr

November 09, 1941 - November 22, 2025

Juan “Poky” Duron , 84, passed away on November 22, 2025, at Providence Hospital in El Paso, Texas.

Born with a natural gift for working with his hands, Juan proudly served in the U.S. Army from 1963 to 1965, stationed in Panama where he worked as an aircraft mechanic. After completing his military service, he continued his mechanical career with dedication, working for several trucking companies throughout the years.

Juan is survived by his two sons, David and George; his three sisters: Espy, Estella, Irene, and his five brothers: Luis, Ruben, Angel, Michael, and Ramon. He is preceded in death by his daughter, Dina, who passed at birth and his sister Cecelia.

Known affectionately as “Poky,” Juan had a love for fishing—especially the preparation, which often brought him more joy than actually casting a line. He was an avid reader of books and newspapers, always ready to talk about the stories and headlines that caught his interest. His humor, quiet strength, and devotion to his family will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

The family invites friends and loved ones to remember Juan in their own special way and to honor the simple joys he treasured in life.

Obituary for Julio César Sedano “Güero”

March 22, 1981 – November 22, 2025

With profound sadness and immense love, the family of Julio César Sedano, lovingly known as “Güero,” announces his passing on November 22, 2025, at the age of 44. Julio was living in Van Horn, Texas at the time of his passing, but his heart always belonged to the city where he grew up El Paso, Texas.

Born on March 22, 1981, Julio was the beloved son of Olga Sedano and his stepfather Eduardo Casas. He is survived with love by his wife Cecilia, his children Carla, Alexis, and Maritza, and his sisters Karina, Sandy, and Emily, who will forever carry his memory in their hearts.

Julio lived life with joy, energy, and an unmistakable spirit. He loved spending time with his family, laughing until his stomach hurt, and dancing every chance he got. A dedicated Kansas City Chiefs fan, he celebrated every win like he was right there in the stadium. His sense of humor especially his famously terrible dad jokes could brighten even the hardest days. People were drawn to his warmth, his big heart, and his ability to make everyone feel welcome.

Julio leaves behind a legacy of love, family, faith, and unforgettable memories. Though his time on earth feels far too short, the impact he made on those who knew him will last a lifetime.

His family finds comfort knowing he rests in God’s hands and that his laughter, his stories, and his love will continue to echo in their hearts forever.

Ignacio Hernandez

April 22, 1954 - November 12, 2025

Ignacio Hernandez, born April 22, 1954, passed away peacefully on November 12, 2025, at the age of 71. Ignacio was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. He is proceeded in death by his beloved wife Guadalupe Kristine (Kris) Hernandez, and by his parents Jose O. and Josefina A. Hernandez. Left to cherish his memory are his three children; Denise Kristine Hernandez, Estevan Ignacio (Steve) Hernandez, and Amanda Lee Hernandez. Seven grandchildren; Avery Lorraine Valencia, Aiden Camillo Valencia, Layla Cristina Valencia, Lilly Juliana Pena, Jaxsyn Kristine Hernandez, Angello Lee Williams and Jaylen P. Daniels. Great Grandson Andres Cesar Varela. Siblings Carmen Campos, Lucy Landeros, Teresa Hernandez, Jose Luis Hernandez and Tony Hernandez. Numerous nieces and nephews that loved him very much.

Ignacio was retired from Phelps Dodge Copper Refinery after 38 years. He loved hard and played hard. No one could ever doubt the love he had for his children, grandchildren and all of his siblings, nieces and nephews. He constantly worried for others, even as he struggled with his own health issues. He loved spending time at the casino, as well as with his community of lifelong friends. He was an ACTS Brother having lived his retreat in 2018 and a graduate of Bel Air High School in 1972.

He will be incredibly missed. His unsolicited advice, his crude jokes, his side eye glances when being made fun of, and his popular “F” bombs to make just about every other sentence that much more colorful. But most of all, we that knew and loved him, will miss his huge smile.

We ask for prayers for the eternal repose of his soul and for the consolation of his family and friends that are mourning his incredible loss. May he be reunited with all of his loved ones in paradise. “Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. AMEN”

Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”

In Loving Memory of Víctor Hugo Rueda Márquez
02-10-1953 – November 13, 2025
With deep sadness, we share the passing of Ingeniero Víctor Hugo Rueda Márquez, born on 02-10-1953 in Flores Magón, Chihuahua. To us, he was not only a husband, father, and grandfather, he was the heart and foundation of our family.
Víctor was a true gentleman. He had a special way of making everyone feel welcomed, appreciated, and cared for. Thoughtful and giving by nature, he never missed an opportunity to reach out. He was the type of man who sent good morning and good night messages to everyone he loved, offering words of encouragement, inspiration, and kindness. Those messages those small but powerful reminders of his love will be deeply missed.
Music was a constant companion in his life. Whether he was at home, in the yard, or simply relaxing, he loved to listen and sing along. His voice, his songs, and the joy he found in music are memories we will carry with us forever.
He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Lorenza López de Rueda; his son, Víctor Hugo Rueda Jr.; his daughters, Brenda Rueda and Lorena Rueda; and his granddaughters, Kimberly Rueda and Jayleen Villalobos Rueda, who were the light of his life. His family was his greatest pride, his deepest joy, and he made it known to all who knew him.
Víctor’s love was steady, gentle, and constant. He leaves behind a legacy of kindness, respect, and courage—values he lived every day and instilled in each of us. His presence will be forever missed, but his spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
Always in our hearts

En Memoria Amorosa de Víctor Hugo Rueda Márquez
02-10-1953 – 13 de noviembre de 2025
Con profunda tristeza compartimos el fallecimiento de el Ingeniero Víctor Hugo Rueda Márquez, nacido el 02-10-1953 en Flores Magón, Chihuahua. Para nosotros, no solo fue un padre, esposo y abuelo, sino el corazón y la base de nuestra familia.
Víctor era un verdadero caballero. Tenía una manera especial de hacer que todos se sintieran bienvenidos, apreciados y cuidados. Pensativo y generoso por naturaleza, nunca perdía la oportunidad de acercarse a los demás. Era el tipo de hombre que enviaba mensajes de buenos días y buenas noches a todos sus seres queridos, ofreciendo palabras de aliento, inspiración y cariño. Esos mensajes, esas pequeñas pero poderosas muestras de amor serán profundamente extrañados.
La música siempre estuvo presente en su vida. Ya fuera en casa, en el jardín o simplemente descansando, le encantaba escuchar música y cantar. Su voz, sus canciones y la alegría que encontraba en la música son recuerdos que llevaremos con nosotros para siempre.
Lo recuerdan con amor su esposa, Lorenza López de Rueda; su hijo, Víctor Hugo Rueda Jr.; sus hijas, Brenda Rueda y Lorena Rueda; y sus nietas Kimberly Rueda
y Jayleen Villalobos Rueda, quienes fueron la luz de su vida. Su familia fue su mayor orgullo, su más profunda alegría, y lo hacía saber a todos los que lo conocían.
El amor de Víctor fue constante, tierno y firme. Deja un legado de bondad, respeto y valentía, valores que vivió todos los días e inculcó en cada uno de nosotros. Su presencia siempre será extrañada, pero su espíritu vivirá en los corazones de quienes lo amaron.
Siempre en nuestros corazones.

In Loving Memory.

Lorenzo Nava

Lorenzo Nava, born April 25, 1944, in El Paso, Texas, passed away on November 14, 2025.

A devoted husband, father, grandfather, and brother, Lorenzo lived a life marked by hard work, loyalty, and an unwavering commitment to God and to those he loved.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Mary Bethel Nava, lovingly known as Shirley, with whom he shared many years of companionship, laughter, and music. He leaves behind his sons, David & Sylvia Nava and Gilbert & Brenda Nava, who will forever carry with them the lessons, strength, and example he set. Lorenzo was also the proud grandfather of Sophia and Andrea, who brought joy and pride into his life.

Lorenzo is also survived by his two sisters, Martina Yarbrough and Maria Girven, who will cherish the memories of their brother’s steady presence, generous spirit, and quiet wisdom, his step daughter, Audrey Sabaitis along with her son Terry Johnston and her nephew David Wanser.

A proud veteran, Lorenzo served his country in the United States Navy, stationed on the USS Oklahoma. After completing his service, he dedicated 23 years to ASARCO, where he worked with the same reliability and skill that defined every part of his life.

Lorenzo was a man with a rare gift: he could fix anything. His craftsmanship extended far beyond repairs—he built his own home, creating with his own hands the place where memories were made and love lived. He enjoyed visiting casinos, playing pool, and, in his younger days, dancing with a light-hearted energy that family and friends fondly remember.

In the quiet moments of his later years, Lorenzo found joy in listening to fiesta Mexican music with Mary, sharing a simple but profound connection through the songs they loved.

Lorenzo will be remembered for his steady strength, his resourcefulness, and the warmth he shared with everyone who knew him. His legacy lives on in the home he built, the family he raised, and the countless lives he touched. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.

A hardworking woman who never gave up, Maria built a life rooted in love, resilience, and generosity. She had a deep appreciation for the simple beauties of the world. Her garden was her sanctuary; she could make anything bloom, and she poured the same care into nurturing her family.
To those who knew her, Maria was the best of the best. Steadfast, thoughtful, loving, and full of grace. Her laughter, her hugs, her gentle strength, and her tender presence will be missed more than words can express. Maria leaves behind a legacy of faith, love, and devotion that will continue to grow in the hearts of her family for generations. Though she has gone home to heaven, her spirit will remain with those she loved, guiding them with the same warmth and strength she shared throughout her life.

Dr. Barbara Ann Browder

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 16:06:37 GMT

Dr. Barbara Ann "BAB" Browder

August 3, 1944 - November 5, 2025

In Loving Memory of Dr. Barbara Ann “BAB” Browder, 81

She fought the good fight, she finished the race, she kept the faith. — 2 Timothy

A fiercely independent matriarch, devoted educator, and steadfast woman of faith, Dr. Barbara Ann “BAB” Browder passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by family on November 5, 2025. Born August 3, 1944, in Los Angeles, California, Barbara spent her life uplifting others through service, leadership, and love.

She was educated at Douglass School in El Paso, a cornerstone of Black excellence during segregation. Her journey from those halls to district leadership stands as a testament to her determination and conviction. She went on to graduate from Bowie High School and completed her bachelor's and master's degrees at Texas Western College (now UTEP – University of Texas at El Paso), further showcasing her commitment to education and excellence.

Barbara’s calling was education—and she answered it with vision and courage. For more than fifty years, she dedicated her life to nurturing minds and strengthening schools across the El Paso and Gadsden Independent School Districts. In El Paso ISD, she served as a teacher, assistant principal, principal, and director. She was the inaugural principal for Omar Nelson Bradley Elementary School, where her leadership and compassion helped shape the school’s foundation and spirit.

Later, in Gadsden ISD, Barbara turned her focus to guiding and supporting those who served throughout the district. As Associate Superintendent, she oversaw all areas of Human Resources—recruiting, developing, and mentoring educators, administrators, and staff who would carry forward her legacy of excellence. Her insight and encouragement helped countless professionals find confidence and purpose in their work. During this time, she also earned her Ph.D. from New Mexico State University—a reflection of her fortitude and lifelong love of learning.

Her leadership extended beyond her profession. A proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, Barbara lived its ideals with elegance and purpose, later serving as a chapter president and mentor to the women who followed her path.

Music was Barbara’s ministry and her joy. As Music Director at Second Baptist Church, she nurtured voices and built a welcoming community of church musicians across El Paso—making room for people to belong, to learn, and to praise.

Family was Barbara’s heart. Lessons learned at the Prothro Browder homestead along with the family built as a student from the pre-integrated Douglass School experience gave a solid foundation on which she continued to build. Recognized twice as PREPS “Mother of the Year” for the love she poured into her great-nieces; she was also a tireless mentor, coach, and sponsor to young people finding their footing. Over the years, she gathered—and kept close—a circle of friendships that felt like family, ever expanding her family base.

After retiring, Barbara embraced travel with her loved ones, especially for shows and theater productions, where the curtain’s rise always sparked her sense of wonder. On Sundays and game days alike, she cheered for her beloved Dallas Cowboys, with unflagging optimism and enthusiasm, no matter the result.

Barbara is survived by her nephew Travis W. Young; nieces Genevieve E. Young and Mary M. White; and the great-nieces she cherished and mothered with deep affection—Sandra Haynes, Lisa Ann Walker (Shawn), and Veronica Graham. She delighted in her great-great niece and nephews—Brittani Graham, Camron Walker, and Jackson Graham—and is remembered with love by a host of extended family and dear friends whose lives she touched. Barbara was preceded in death by those who shaped her early life and legacy, her parents, Lillian Rae Prothro Browder and Stephen Henry Browder, and her sister, Ella Mae Prothro.

In her final months, Barbara faced a private battle with cancer with quiet strength and grace. The family is deeply grateful to the compassionate teams at Interim Health, Provista Health, Texas Oncology, Providence Hospital, and Three Oaks Hospice, whose tender care honored her dignity and brought comfort in her final chapter.

Barbara’s legacy lives on in the lives she shaped, the institutions she strengthened, and the family she nurtured—proof that a life of purpose can echo across generations.

Service Information
A visitation will be held on November 13, 2025, from 4 to 8 p.m., with a prayer service at 6 p.m. at Second Baptist Church, 401 S. Virginia St., El Paso, TX. Funeral services will take place on November 14, 2025, at 12 p.m. at Second Baptist Church, El Paso, TX. Interment will follow at Evergreen East, 12400 Montana Ave, El Paso, TX.

In lieu of flowers , the family requests memorial contributions to Second Baptist Church or the Alpha Kappa Alpha Scholarship Fund, honoring Barbara’s lifelong commitment to education, faith, and community.

In Loving Memory

Humberto "Beto" Chavez

April 19, 1974 –November 4, 2025

Humberto “Beto” Chavez lived his life in a way that was bold, honest, and unforgettable. Born on April 19, 1974, Beto filled every room with his energy, his humor, and his straight-to-the-point personality. People either loved him right away or needed a moment to adjust to his bluntness, but he always left an impression. Most people ended up loving him, whether they planned to or not. Family meant everything to Beto. He especially adored his nieces, nephews, and Godchildren. He coached them, guided them, teased them, and pushed them to be better. Coaching was one of his greatest passions. From 2009 to 2025 he and his Primo Tony built their first team, the Blue Jays, and later coached the WTX Smash for players ages 8 to 15. Countless kids grew up under his leadership, and many found confidence and direction on the field because of him. Beto did not just love baseball. He understood the game in a way very few people ever do. He knew the rulebook inside and out. He could break it down for anyone. He always knew when to challenge a bad call, when to shift players, and how to put his team in the best possible situation. He was sharp, thoughtful, and incredibly smart. The field was where his instincts came alive. Baseball and softball were in his blood. He played for the Latino Athletics as a pitcher, proudly wearing number 6, and he remained a devoted fan of the Oakland Athletics throughout his life. The game was his passion and his comfort. Beto also had a mischievous side that his family knew well. He often joked about his pobrecitas, a private little code that always made the people around him shake their heads and laugh. It was classic Beto, a reminder of the humor that followed him everywhere. One of the greatest loves in Beto’s life was his mother. He leaned on her, trusted her, and depended on her more than most people ever realized. In his final years, when his health made life heavier and harder, she was the one who stood beside him every step of the way. She helped him with anything he needed, and her strength and love carried him through some of his toughest days. Beto and his dad, Eustacio, did not always see eye to eye, but in recent years they had started to grow closer. They talked more, understood each other better, and were building a connection that meant a lot to both of them. Knowing they were in a good place brings comfort to the family and will always be remembered as an important part of Beto’s final years. He is preceded in death by his grandparents. He is survived by his parents, Eustacio Chavez III and Maria Angela Chavez, and by his siblings: Yvette Priego (Tury) Eric Delgado (Vanessa) Richard Chavez (Jessica) Veronica Chavez (Aaron) Vanessa Chavez (Andy). Anyone who knew Beto knows he was not soft about anything. He talked his share of shit, he pushed you hard, and he said what other people were scared to say. But underneath all of that, he cared in a way most people never knew how to. He wanted you to fight, to grow, to be better than you were yesterday. He pushed you because he saw more in you than you saw in yourself. The people he coached, the family he stood up for, the kids he believed in, and the mother and father he loved will carry that fire he lit in them. His voice, his attitude, his tough love, it all stays alive in every person he helped shape. That is the legacy he leaves behind.

Josefina Duran, lovingly known as Grandma Fina, was a kind, faithful, and devoted woman whose love for her family and her Lord was unwavering. She was born and raised in El Paso, Texas, where she lived her entire life surrounded by those she cherished most.

Grandma Fina found joy in the simple but meaningful moments; a good day on the town, a meal shared with loved ones, and time spent with her husband, children, and grandchildren. Her warmth and laughter filled every room, and her home was always a place of comfort, love, and faith.

A devoted Catholic, she lived her life guided by prayer and grace. Her faith was the heart of who she was: a source of strength that she shared with her family every day through her kindness, her prayers, and her example of unconditional love.

She was preceded in death by her daughter Clementina and her parents Marina Elizalde Venzor and Primitivo Venzor. She is survived by her sister Marina Lares, beloved husband Jose Duran, and her daughters Cruz Betancourt, Irene Guevara, and Leticia Salazar (Ronald). She is also survived by her five grandchildren Mike Betancourt, Roxanne Pleasant, Stephanie Salazar, Andrew Griego, Danielle Salazar and five great-grandchildren, Aubrey Betancourt, Alizee Guzman, Emma Betancourt, Kaeden Pleasant and Michael Betancourt, and countless bonus grandchildren who will forever carry her love and legacy in their hearts.

Grandma Fina’s life was a testament to love, faith, and family; values she lived by and passed down to each generation. Though she has left this world, her spirit remains ever-present in the hearts of those who were blessed to know her.

A visitation for Fina will be held Thursday, November 20, 2025 from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Rosary will promptly begin at 7:00 p.m. at San Jose Funeral Home East, 10950 Pellicano Drive, El Paso, Texas.

November 11, 1939 –November 1, 2025

Beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Ricardo Leyva, Sr. passed away peacefully on November 1, 2025, at the age of 85. He was born in El Paso, Texas, where he spent his life surrounded by family, friends, and the community he loved.

Ricardo was a man of quiet strength, deep faith, and endless generosity. He was given the nickname “Superman” by his co-workers due to his strong work ethic and his willingness to help anyone in need. Whether fixing something around the house, lending a hand to a neighbor, or sharing words of wisdom, Ricardo gave his all with a humble and giving heart.

He found peace and joy in the simple things — fishing, working outdoors, and spending time under the open sky. But above all, Ricardo’s greatest joy was his family. His wife, children, and grandchildren were his greatest pride, and he cherished every moment shared with them. His love, kindness, and steady presence will forever live in their hearts.

Ricardo is survived by his devoted wife, Margarita Leyva, with whom he shared 61 years of marriage; his children, Noemi Leyva and Ricardo Leyva; his grandchildren, Sarah Garcia, Jacob Flores, and several other dearly loved grandchildren; and his great-grandchildren, Aaron, Isaac, and Aidan Garcia.

He will be remembered always for his strength, his humble heart, and the love he poured into his family. Though he is no longer by their side, his spirit will continue to guide and protect them, just as he always did.

May he rest in eternal peace, forever in the hearts of those who love him.

En Memoria de

Fernando Avila

Fernando Ávila fue un hombre feliz, chiflador, alegre y bromista. Sus colores favoritos eran rojo y amarillo, y amaba su rancho Luchanitas, al que siempre deseaba ir. Disfrutaba la música, especialmente Los Rancheritos del Topo Chico, y fue un hombre de profunda fe, católico y devoto de San Judas Tadeo.

Compartió 54 años de matrimonio con mi madre, fue padre de 4 hijos, abuelo de 13 nietos y bisabuelo de 10 bisnietos. De sus hermanos le sobreviven tres, con quienes siempre mantuvo un lazo de cariño.

Aunque siempre tuvo miedo a morir, luchó con valentía hasta el final. Su fuerza y amor por la vida nos dejan un ejemplo eterno.

Estamos muy agradecidos con Claudia e Ivonne Ávila, sus enfermeras de cabecera, y Natalia Ávila, quien viajó desde lejos para acompañarlo en vida. Gracias también a mi tío Chojo, quien siempre estuvo pendiente de mi padre hasta el último suspiro, y a los hijos de mi tío, por todo su apoyo y cariño.

Fernando fue un hombre muy amiguero, querido y recordado por todos con bonitos recuerdo.

En Memoria de nuestra

Amada

Bertha Alicia Moreno

Con profundo amor y tristeza, despedimos a Bertha Alicia Moreno, quien fue la fuerza, el corazón y el alma de nuestra familia. Conocerla era amarla: su sonrisa iluminaba cualquier espacio, y su risa siempre presente, era el sonido que nos unía.

Era bien chistosa, siempre haciendo bromas, siempre encontrando la manera de hacernos reír. Le encantaba vivir con alegría, rodeada de amor, y su vida fue un reflejo de eso: momentos compartidos, carcajadas sinceras, y abrazos que sanaban.

Bertha enfrentó cada enfermedad con una valentía feroz, enseñándonos lo que significa ser fuerte y resiliente. Nunca se rindió, y en cada batalla dejó una huella de coraje que nos inspira a seguir adelante.

Pero si algo definía a Bertha, era su manera de cuidar. Cuidaba a todos, sin excepción. Su casa era casa pa’ todos, un refugio donde uno podía llegar en cualquier momento, sabiendo que ahí había comida, consuelo, y sobre todo, amor. Amaba con todo su alma, sin medida, sin condiciones.

Fue el hombro donde todos lloramos, el consuelo en los momentos difíciles, y el refugio donde encontramos paz. Su ausencia deja un vacío inmenso, pero su amor, su risa y su ejemplo vivirán para siempre en quienes tuvimos el privilegio de compartir la vida con ella.

Te extrañaremos profundamente. Su legado de amor, alegría y fortaleza permanecerá eternamente en nuestros corazones.

Con eterno amor, su esposo, sus hijos y sus nietos.

Rafael “Ralph” Silva

March 2, 1945 – October 8, 2025

The world has lost some of its music, as Rafael “Ralph” Silva — husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend — went home to heaven at the age of 80 on October 8, 2025.

Ralph was born on March 2, 1945, the youngest of three children born to Victoria and Pedro Silva, both of whom preceded him in death. He grew up surrounded by family and faith, a proud son of El Paso, Texas, who would remain deeply rooted in this city all his life. He graduated from Burges High School in 1964, where his gentle humor and hardworking nature were already taking shape. Even as a teenager, Ralph began working to help support his family, keeping only enough of his paycheck to cover the cost of gas while giving the rest to his mother. That spirit of generosity never left him.

After high school, Ralph joined the National Guard, proudly serving for six years. He later began a long and steady career with Phelps Dodge, where he held many roles before retiring from the chemistry lab.

Ralph met CarmenRico, the woman who would become his best friend and his heart’s devotion, when a mutual friend arranged a blind date at Carlos & Mickey’s. Carmen was immediately taken by his kindness and good looks — “like a young Robert De Niro.” He was the quiet one; she was talkative. He made her laugh, and she loved to listen to him play the piano.They were a perfect fit.

Ralph and Carmen were married on June 17, 1989 — the beginning of a beautiful marriage that would last 36 years. Self-taught as a child, Ralph could play piano by ear, and hedeeply loved to play for his “sweetie,” filling their home with the music of Luis Miguel, Juan Gabriel, and other romantic favorites.

Ralph was, at heart, a joyful collector of life’s small treasures. He found wonder everywhere — at Goodwill, where he’d delight in uncovering “finds” that sometimes, via Carmen or the kids, made a round trip back to the store; in his books of every topic and genre; in his backyard, where his turtles burrowed happily under his care; and in the flutter of hummingbirds drawn to the red and pink flowers he lovingly tended. He had a childlike curiosity, a knack for fixing everything, and an endless supply of stories and corny jokes to keep everyone laughing … or groaning.

Though Ralph was a man of many interests — music, reading, tinkering, collecting — his greatest passion was always his family. He was the proud father of Adriana Silva, Mark Silva, Vanessa (Carlos) Gomez, Aaron Ingle, and Debra (Nicholas) Ingle-Muñoz, and the loving grandfather of Christopher Gomez,Alexander Ingle (†), Madison Ingle, Alessandra Muñoz, and Gianella Muñoz. His family was his life’s greatest joy, and every note he played, every joke he told, and every kindness he gave was, in some way, for them.

Ralph is also survived by his beloved wife, Carmen; his brother, Francisco “Frank” Silva; his nieces and nephews: Noemi “Mimi” Silva, Magda Yvetta Silva, Yolanda Silva, George Shaw, and Georgette Shaw; his brother- and sister-in-law, Hector and Grace Rico, and their daughters, Haley, Carlin, and Kelcie. He was preceded in death by his sister, Dolores Shaw, and by his sister-in-law, Yolanda Silva.

A lifelong Catholic and member of St. Raphael’s Catholic Church, Ralph lived his faith quietly but profoundly — in patience, in kindness, and in love. In his final days, he was cared for tenderly by Sarita Flores, Liz Reyes, and Rosy Gonzalez, with special gratitude going to the hospice team, particularly Leo and Omar, for their compassion and grace.

The piano may be silent now, but the music and the love that Ralph filled our lives with will echo in our hearts forever.

A rosary will be held for Helen on Wednesday, October 22nd at 7 p.m. with viewing from 4-8 p.m. with a Catholic Service on Thursday, October 23rd at 9 a.m. Both services will be held at San Jose Funeral Home-East on Pellicano Drive.

In Loving Memory of

Helen M. Porras

January 6, 1949 - October 13, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Helen Porras (née Muñoz), who left this world on Monday October 13, 2025, after a courageous battle with Alzheimer's, she was 76. Helen was born in El Paso, TX on January 6, 1949, to the late Pedro A. Muñoz and Margarita R. (nee Ramirez) Muñoz.

Helen's legacy lives on through her devoted family. She is survived by her son, Adrian Porras, and his wife Cathy of Austin, TX, her daughter, Elizabeth Marie Best, and her husband Andre of Phoenix, AZ and her cherished grandchildren, Addison and Rowan. Helen also leaves behind her loving siblings Alicia Meier (Jon) of Richmond, TX, Rose Muñoz Martinez (Joe) of San Antonio, TX and her brother Pete Muñoz (Viola) of Chula Vista, CA. She was preceded in death by her ex-husband and longtime friend Adrian Porras. Her extended family includes numerous nieces, nephews, grand-nieces, and grand-nephews, all of whom held a special place in her heart. She will forever be everyone’s Nina.

Helen's life was filled with love and laughter, and she had a special fondness for her dogs over the years, including her beloved Pichu. Her passion for teaching and aiding special needs children was evident in the joy she brought to their lives over the years.

Helen's enthusiasm for life was contagious, especially when it came to her love for volleyball. If there was a net nearby, you could be sure Helen would rally everyone for a game. Or if Guiding Light was on the tv she was going to make you quiet down or get up to speed on the plot very quickly.

Family gatherings were a highlight for Helen, and she had a unique way of making every occasion memorable. Her tradition of calling on the children to unwrap gifts on Christmas Eve brought smiles and excitement to all.

Helen's warmth, kindness, and vibrant spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her family and friends will forever cherish the memories and the love she shared.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to organizations supporting Alzheimer's research in Helen's name, such as the Alzheimer's Association.

All who knew and loved her are welcome to attend and share in honoring her remarkable life.

In Loving Memory of Marthell Arnsworth

August 4, 1960 – September 27, 2025

Marthell Arnsworth, a beloved son, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on September 27, 2025. He was 65 years old.

Born on August 4, 1960, in El Paso, Texas, Marthell was the cherished son of the late Ella Jean Hayward and Joseph Arnsworth. He was lovingly raised in Central El Paso by his devoted mother, his grandmother Robbie Mae Maxwell, and his step-grandfather Alfonso “Daddy Bob” Maxwell, whose influence remained a guiding force throughout his life.

Marthell’s early years were rooted in faith and community. He attended Visitors Chapel A.M.E. Church as a child and was educated in El Paso’s public schools, beginning at Alta Vista Elementary, later transferring to Houston Elementary, and eventually attending Stephen F. Austin High School — a place he held dear throughout his life. While at Austin, Marthell was a dedicated student-athlete who excelled in both football and track. He graduated from the Class of 1978 and continued his education at The University of Texas at El Paso.

Marthell’s professional journey included service at the West Texas Children’s Home in Pyote, Texas, where he contributed to the lives of many youths with his calm presence and compassionate spirit. He later worked for FDF Oil Company in Kermit, Texas, where he remained until his retirement in 2011. After retirement, he relocated to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and most recently resided in Atlanta, Georgia.

Marthell was known for his quiet strength, gentle soul, and ever-present smile. Though he was a man of few words, when he spoke, his words carried weight, purpose, and sincerity. He was loyal and steadfast — a lifelong friend, a committed family man, and a proud member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., where his bonds with his fraternity brothers were enduring and deeply meaningful.

Marthell was preceded in death by his mother, Ella Jean Hayward, grandmother Robbie Mae Maxwell, grandfather George Hayward, step-grandfather Alfonso “Daddy Bob” Maxwell, brother Regan Lumpkin, and sister Theresa Bishop.

He leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion through his son, Brandon Arnsworth, and granddaughter, Alaina Richelle.

He is also survived by his siblings Calvin “PJ” Hayward and Johnny Arnsworth; uncle Dr. Willis Maxwell; nephew Justin Arnsworth and wife Zoila, along with their children Ella Monet, Jack Dillon, Maya Jean, and John Louis Arnsworth; and his longtime partner Sylvia Turner-McGhee of Atlanta, Georgia; and a host of extended family, cousins, lifelong friends, and his beloved fraternity brothers.

Marthell’s presence in our lives was a gift — his friendship, a commitment to life. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know and love him.

Until we meet again, may you rest in peace. You are now at home.

Visitation will be Sunday, October 12, 2025 from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. with a prayer service starting at 6:00 p.m. at San Jose Funeral Home-East, 10950 Pellicano Dr., 79935 (915) 590-8700.

In Loving Memory of

Hector Muñoz

We mourn the loss of Hector Munoz, who passed away on October 5, 2025. Born on January 14, 1961, he lived a life full of honor, love for family, dedication to doing the right thing. Hector is survived by his beloved wife, Ana Munoz, and his sons Hector Munoz Jr., Christian Munoz, Alexis Munoz, and step-son Hugo Garcia-Salmeron.

Hector was a man of simple pleasures and loved to indulge in his favorite foods and drinks. He had a particular affinity for tamales and eggs (made only by his wife, Ana), quesadillas with avocado and chorizo, and enjoy a shrimp cocktail with his sons. He never passed up a refreshing Iced Coke Zero...or real bottled coke when Ana wasn't looking. Ever since his kids can remember, his favorite music included the melodies of Mana, Juan Gabriel, and occasionally Ricardo Arjona. A true fan, Hector hardly missed a game of the Mexico National Soccer Team and made sure his sons knew when they were not playing like "los mejors jugadores de los 90s como el Cuactemoc y el Matador."

Among his cherished recreational activities were always improving many homes from the ground up, going cycling, and watching war movies with his sons - even at an early age. At loving hints from his wife and sons and at the behest of his doctor, Hector enjoyed the occasional walks as his favorite forms of exercise. He loved to travel and explore. It was a dream of his to explore as much of the world as possible. But more importantly, he loved doing it with his family.

Described as strict, caring, and protective, Hector always believed in the virtue of hard work. He never gave up and always reached for the top, nurturing the same values in his sons. In fact, he considered his sons to be his greatest accomplishment, manifesting his endless love and dedication as a father.

Hector leaves behind a legacy of doing what is right, specially when it's hard. This lesson will continue to inspire those that truly knew him - which were few. Hector's sudden depart from this world leaves a space that will be hard to fill. The endless memories in the minds of his loved ones will flow as a river of dreams for many years to come. He will be dearly missed by many friends and family who knew he always cared for them in his own way.

In lieu of flowers, those who wish to honor Hector's memory may contribute any amount they wish towards his family's future expenses. Contributions can be made online at the following URL: https://everloved.com/life-of….

We remember Hector Munoz, not just for the person he was, but for the morals he stood for and the lessons he taught us. He will forever be in our hearts and memories.

Con profundo amor y tristeza, la Familia Guerrero anuncia la partida del Sr. José Arturo Guerrero , quien inició su camino con Dios el jueves 2 de octubre de 2025 en El Paso, Texas, a la edad de 69 años.

Nació en Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, el 18 de agosto de 1956. Vivió su vida al lado de su querida esposa, María C. Grajeda de Guerrero “Conchita” , con quien compartió 45 años de matrimonio. Juntos formaron una familia con sus cuatro hijos: Gabriela, Graciela, Arturo y Soledad.

En vida, amó y cuidó profundamente a sus cinco nietos, quienes fueron su mayor alegría: Naileah, Gabriel y Damián Andrade, y Santiago y Emma Guerrero.

Fue un hombre sumamente trabajador, llegando a desempeñar hasta tres empleos a la vez para brindar siempre lo mejor a su familia. Sus mejores años laborales los vivió en MSD , donde forjó grandes amistades y compartió su esfuerzo, alegría y compromiso. También fue panadero, oficio que ejerció con orgullo y pasión.

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.

Julieta D. Pedroza

July 3, 1932 - September 19, 2025

Visitation will be Thursday, October 09, 2025 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. with recitation of the rosary at 6:00 p.m. at San Jose Funeral Home-East, 10950 Pellicano Dr., 79935 (915) 590-8700. Funeral Mass Friday, October 10, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. at Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church, 8600 Winchester Rd. 79907. Interment will follow at Mount Carmel Cemetery, 401 S. Zaragoza Rd., 79907.

Julieta Duran Pedroza (July 3,1932 - September 19,2025), a lifelong El Pasoan and proud Bowie Bear, has answered our Lord’s call to heaven.

Mom was the youngest daughter of Enrique Duran and Consuelo Alvarez. She had four brothers -Paul(D), Hector(D), Guillermo(D), Alfonso and three sisters Olga(D), Guadalupe(D) and Amparo. She was devoted to her nephews Hector Duran Jr. and Richard Duran whom she helped raise as her own. Her nephews and nieces loved her and considered her their second mom.

Born with a weak heart was the start of this survivor’s life. The challenges that followed in life (the Great Depression, WW2) and growing up in the toughest neighborhood (El Segundo Barrio) resulted in her determination, strong will and just plain toughness. These traits, combined with a deadly aim with the chanclita, ensured that her family was “raised right”!

Her life centered on family and faith! Together with dad, Jose Isabel Pedroza (D), she raised nine children: Anna (Robert Chapin), Gilbert (Lucy), Joseph (Luz), Isabel (Rick Munoz), Peter (Gloria), Thomas (Priscilla), Martin (Irene), Mary (Michael Hickey) and Paul (Patty). Her legacy now extends to 18 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren.

Deprived of an education when she was young, she highly valued it. Countless sacrifices were made for her children to attend Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parochial School, ensuring knowledge and faith were the foundation of their lives. She obtained her dream at 50 when she earned her GED. She modeled perseverance that you never quit! She was so proud of her family’s education and accomplishments!

From a weak heart at birth to the strongest heart full of love, Mom lived life for family – traveling to attend all the major events of kids, grand-kids and great grand-kids. Wherever she went, she never forgot her roots saying with pride: Soy del Segundo y de la Bowie.

We will miss her and hearing her off key voice singing Happy Birthday. We know that she is with God now, praying and watching over us. But don’t misbehave – she now has a golden chanclita.

Visitation for Julieta will be Thursday, October 09, 2025 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. with recitation of the rosary at 6:00 p.m. at San Jose Funeral Home-East, 10950 Pellicano Dr., 79935 (915) 590-8700.

Baby Madelyn Ariel Castro daughter of Rebecca Rodriguez and Salvador Alberto Castro born September 2nd, 2025 at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, Texas.

Maddie was a little heart warrior she unexpectedly came crashing into this world on her own terms and schedule after an appointment on September 2nd, 2025 weighing just 1 ounce shy of 9 pounds, with a head full of dark curly locks. She was just perfect. Her parents knew some of what she was coming into this world with and never once even considered loving her any less. They were scared of the journey ahead, but were more than ready to fight along with her. All they wanted was to show her a life full of love. She was a bundle of joy, their greatest adventure. She quickly stole the heart of her baby sister Sophie, all the family, her nurses, doctors and just about anyone else. She will remain in their hearts forever.

Maddie was only here on Earth a short time, but she lit up the room. She will live on forever in the hearts she’s leaving behind. She will be their protector, their fighter, their angel. She will be a story of perseverance, of strength, and mostly of love.

Graciela Chaidez 

December 03, 1944 - August 14, 2025

A celebration of her life will be held at: Abundant Church

1000 Valley Crest Drive

El Paso, Texas 79907

September 25, 2025 at 5:00 p.m .

Our mother, Graciela Chaidez (Lopez Meza), age 80, entered eternal rest on August 14, 2025 in El Paso, Texas. She was born on December 3, 1944 in Miguel Auza, Zacatecas, Mexico to Julia Meza Jimenez and Antonio Gerino Lopez Alba.

Graciela was a resilient child, an only child, and though her childhood was especially difficult, she always persevered. This was evident throughout her life, a life that began in Mexico and which transitioned to the United States when she and her six young children emigrated to El Paso, Texas in search of a brighter future.

While in Mexico she and her then husband, Clemente Chaidez, owned and operated a tortilleria (tortilla factory), something she often spoke fondly about. After moving to the US, she became employed by Levi's Strauss, first starting as a machine operator, then later moving into an inspector role, and eventually retiring from there.

Graciela was an extremely hard-working mother and a devoted daughter. She will surely be remembered not only for that, but for her incredible and enduring strength, her wisdom, her intelligence and her love.

Being a grandmother was one of Graciela's greatest joys, she loved her many grandchildren dearly. Aside from being a grandma she loved her plants, her roses, her cats, traveling when she was able, going out to eat, church on Sundays and, of course, watching telenovelas.

She is survived by her children (Sergio, Eugenia (husband Carlos), Laura, Rosa, Alejandro), grandchildren (Audrey, Aaron, Vanessa, Tony, Ivan, Andrea, Louie, Andrew, Elijah, Melody, Victoria, Mikey, Mateo) and great grandchildren (Olivia, Eva, Selene, TJ and Jade). She was preceded in death by her firstborn daughter, Josefina, her son Luis (wife Sylvia) and her parents (Antonio and Julia).

A celebration of her life will be held at Abundant Church on September 25, 2025 @ 5pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her memory to a preferred charity of your choice.

Nuestra madre, Graciela Chaidez (López Meza), de 80 años, entro al reino de Dios el 14 de Agosto de 2025 en El Paso, Texas. Nació el 3 de Diciembre de 1944 en Miguel Auza, Zacatecas, México, hija de Julia Meza Jiménez y Antonio Gerino López Alba.

Graciela fue una niña resiliente, hija única, y aunque su infancia fue especialmente difícil, siempre perseveró. Esto fue evidente a lo largo de su vida, una vida que comenzó en México y que se trasladó a Estados Unidos cuando ella y sus seis hijos pequeños emigraron a El Paso, Texas, en busca de un futuro mejor.

Durante su estancia en México, ella y su entonces esposo, Clemente Chaidez, eran dueños y operaban una tortillería, algo de lo que solía hablar con cariño. Tras mudarse a Estados Unidos, empezó a trabajar en Levi's Strauss, primero como operadora de máquinas, luego como inspectora y finalmente se jubiló.

Graciela fue una madre sumamente trabajadora y una hija devota. Sin duda, será recordada no solo por eso, sino también por su increíble y perseverante fortaleza, su sabiduría, su inteligencia y su amor.

Ser abuela fue una de las mayores alegrías de Graciela, amaba profundamente a sus numerosos nietos. Además de ser abuela, amaba sus plantas, sus rosas, sus gatos, viajar cuando podía, salir a comer, ir a la iglesia los domingos y, por supuesto, ver telenovelas.

Le sobreviven sus hijos (Sergio, Eugenia (esposo Carlos), Laura, Rosa, Alejandro), nietos (Audrey, Aaron, Vanessa, Tony, Ivan, Andrea, Louie, Andrew, Elijah, Melody, Victoria, Mikey, Mateo) y bisnietos (Olivia, Eva, Selene, TJ y Jade). Le precedieron en la muerte su primogénita, Josefina, su hijo Luis (esposa Sylvia) y sus padres (Antonio y Julia).

Se llevará a cabo una celebración de su vida en Abundant Church el 25 de septiembre de 2025 a las 5 p.m.

En lugar de flores, se pueden hacer donaciones en su memoria a la organización benéfica preferida.

En Memoria De
Maria J. Holguin
02/03/1967 - 09/15/25

María J. Holguín nació un 3 de febrero de 1967 en Santa Bárbara, Chihuahua. Hija de José Navarro y Sara Holguín, creció en una familia grande y unida junto a sus seis hermanos. A los 18 años unió su vida a la de Gerardo Pérez Maldonado, con quien formó una hermosa familia. Fue madre de cuatro hijos y orgullosa abuelita de diez nietos, quienes fueron su mayor alegría y su más grande motivación.

María fue una mujer luchadora, de corazón noble, lleno de amor, ternura y alegría. Siempre con una sonrisa sincera, era el alma del hogar y la fuerza que mantenía a todos unidos.

Su amor lo demostraba de mil maneras, pero especialmente cocinando para su familia. Su casa siempre fue un refugio: el lugar donde se celebraban todas las reuniones, donde se compartían risas, lágrimas y memorias. Allí, todos eran recibidos con los brazos abiertos y el corazón dispuesto.

Le encantaba cuidar sus plantitas, tejer y decorar su hogar para cada día festivo, llenándolo de luz y calidez. Sus domingos los dedicaba con esmero a la limpieza, porque para ella, un hogar limpio era un hogar lleno de amor.

María también tuvo un cariño muy especial por sus perritas, Chiquititunga y Boni, quienes fueron parte importante de su vida y su compañía fiel.

Fue una abuelita querendona, una madre entregada, una hermana amorosa, y una mujer excepcional. Su legado vive en cada rincón de su hogar, en cada comida compartida, en cada planta regada con amor… y, sobre todo, en el corazón de quienes tuvimos el privilegio de amarla.

*“Mamá, tu partida dejó un silencio inmenso en nuestras vidas, pero también un legado de amor que nada ni nadie podrá borrar. Fuiste ternura hecha persona, refugio en los días difíciles y alegría en los momentos sencillos. En tus manos encontramos siempre consuelo, en tus palabras sabiduría y en tu corazón un amor incondicional que nos enseñó lo que significa ser familia.

Hoy, al recordarte, siento tu presencia en cada detalle de la vida: en la calma de una tarde, en la risa compartida, en el abrazo que me sigue acompañando aunque ya no estés físicamente aquí. Me enseñaste a ser fuerte, a valorar lo sencillo y a caminar con fe incluso en medio de la oscuridad.

Tu vida fue un regalo inmenso, y tu recuerdo es la llama que nunca se apaga en mi alma. No hay distancia que me aparte de ti, porque te llevo conmigo en cada paso, en cada pensamiento y en cada acto de amor que intento sembrar en este mundo, como tú lo hiciste siempre.

Gracias, mamá, por haberme dado lo más valioso: tu amor eterno, que será mi guía y mi fortaleza para siempre. Descansa en paz, y brilla desde el cielo como la estrella que eres en mi vida.”*

Por siempre tu hija Shellie

Mamita estoy con el corazón destrozado, aunque ya no estáras conmigo físicamente en mi corazón y en mis recuerdos vivirás como abuelita nena. Gracias por darme la vida, por el amor por cada abrazo, beso y regaños y golpes que me diste para correjirme y formar la mujer que soy .. soy un pedazo de ti me hace falta escuchar tu voz como a diario la oía y tu sonrisa y ocurrencias. Mami prometo honrar tu memoria viviendo la vida como me enseñaste con amor, valentía y con Fe en el señor. Y aunque tú partida nos a separado nuestro lazo es eterno.Gracias por ser mi madre fuiste siempre maravillosa fuerte y valiente te extraño con el alma pero tú regreso a casa dios así lo quiso. tu ausencia duele pero tú recuerdo me sostiene y mi señor Jesucristo. Nos pediste siempre estar unidas las tres y que en el corazón de cada una de nosotras así sea......

Por siempre tu hija Elenita

Despedida de mama

Mama, hoy me toca vivir uno de los momentos mas dificiles de mi vida: despedirme de ti. Te haz llevado un pedazo de mi alma contigo. No encuentro palabras suficientes para describir el vacío que dejas en mi corazón, ni la tristeza que siento al saber que ya no podré escuchar tu voz, tu risa o sentir tu abrazo. Gracias por haber sido mi refugio, mi maestra, mi guía y mi ejemplo a seguir. Gracias por cada sacrificio silencioso, por cada palabra de aliento, por enseñarme a ser fuerte aun en medio de las tormentas. Gracias por haberme encaminado a los caminos de mi Señor Jesucristo. Tú me diste las raíces para crecer y las alas para volar, y aunque hoy me siento rota, se que tu amor me sostendra siempre.Tu partida me duele, pero también me llena de gratitud. Gratitud por los recuerdos que me dejas, por los momentos compartidos, por el amor que siempre me acompañara. Gratitud hacia mi Señor Jesucristo por haberme permitido vivir momentos maravillosos contigo y memorias inolvidables que es lo que me comforta. Se que tu esencia vivira en cada gesto de bondad que practique, en cada valor que me inculcaste, en cada paso que dé en la vida. Mami descansa en paz. Te dejo ir con amor, sabiendo que ahora eres luz, que caminas libre y en paz con nuestro Señor Jesucristo. Y que mejor que estar en Su Presencia. Aquí seguiras viva en mi corazón, en mi memoria y en mi vida. Nunca dejare de amarte, nunca dejarás de ser mi mamá, y aunque no pueda verte, se que siempre estaras conmigo. Te amo!

Tu hija- Lisa/Tu mamayito.

Eva Lee King lived a long and joyful life; she was 98 when she passed on September 7, 2025. One of ten siblings she grew up on a farm in Oklahoma during the great depression. She would help run the homestead; everyone had chores. Her favorite thing to do was to hide in a huge mulberry tree to read her favorite books; out of sight out of mind she would say. It was that same mulberry tree that her family would host potlucks and square dances under; back when neighbors were neighborly. She talked of her father parking 30 cars under that tree.

Eva Lee met the love of her life Hubert King and they moved to Mount Olive, North Carolina; what a change that was. Her husband worked at a truck dealership and for extra money Eva Lee participated in the tobacco harvest; bundling tobacco for the smokehouses. They had two children, Edna Joyce and James Edward. It was a wonderful life.

Eventually they moved to Beaufort NC when later they were blessed with a third child Glen Allen; who kept her on her toes. They bought a house on Ann Street one block from the water. Beaufort was a fishing village then and you could walk down to the water and watch the fishing boats come in with their catch of the day. Eva Lee had the prettiest garden in town. People would hang over the fence and talk a while; asking her which plants were what. She would can her fruits and vegetables making sure her family had food stored each year. The fishermen at the soup kitchen loved her hot jalapenos which reminded them of home. She enjoyed sewing and crafting; from lined wool suits to gorgeous blankets and some of the prettiest Christmas ornaments you've ever seen.

Eva Lees' passion was Christ. If you were in her presence for anytime at all she was telling you about her savior Jesus and making the introduction.

Born on July 12, 1935, in El Paso, Texas, Carmen lived a long, beautiful life marked by resilience, faith, and unwavering devotion to her family. On July 29, 1967, she married the love of her life, Oscar M. Pando, and together they built a home filled with warmth, laughter, and love.

Carmen was a proud and devoted mother to Michael J. Pando (wife Rowana), Marc A. Pando, and Melissa J. Rubio (husband Arturo). She was the cherished grandmother of Isabella G. Pando and Adam M. Pando, and a loving dog grandma to Corey and Cody. Her legacy lives on in each of them and in the countless lives she touched through her kindness, compassion, and generosity.

Carmen will be remembered for her gentle spirit, deep faith in God, and steadfast love for her family. She faced life’s challenges with grace and strength, always offering a comforting presence to those around her. She had a keen sense of style, a generous heart, and was a wonderful cook who brought people together with her meals.

She is preceded in death by her loving husband, Oscar M. Pando, her parents, siblings, and many beloved family members - including her dear nephews George and Victor Hernandez, who were like sons to her.

Carmen is survived by her children and grandchildren, who will carry forward her memory and honor her by living with the same grace, strength, and love that she exemplified throughout her life.

Rosie was a beloved daughter of Lidia Muñoz (Lili) and the late Salvador Chavez. She was also lovingly raised by her stepfather, the late Alberto Muñoz. Her close-knit family included her siblings Bertha Chavez, Julio Chavez, Salvador “Chava” Chavez, Jesus “Chuy” Chavez, and Ana Leal “Anita.” She cherished her many nieces and nephews, godsons and goddaughters, as well as numerous great-nieces and great-nephews who brought her immense pride and happiness.

A woman of vibrant spirit and boundless generosity, Rosie had a gift for bringing people together. She was the heart of every gathering—her laughter infectious, her stories unforgettable. Whether she was sharing a humorous tale or offering a helping hand to someone in need, Rosie’s presence lit up every room she entered.

Rosie found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She loved knitting scarves and blankets with care and creativity. Working on puzzles brought her quiet satisfaction, while traveling with loved ones filled her with excitement and wonder. Above all else, she treasured time spent with family—those moments of connection that meant everything to her.

Her faith was an important part of her life. Rosie enjoyed attending St. Jude Catholic Church on Sundays alongside her mother. These moments of worship were deeply meaningful to her and reflected the values she carried into every aspect of her life.

Rosie will be remembered not only for her humor and warmth but also for the kindness she extended so freely to others. Her legacy lives on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her.

Rosie Rosa Elena Chávez Briones, de 69 años, falleció pacíficamente el 5 de agosto de 2025 en El Paso, Texas. Nacida el 12 de mayo de 1956 en Parral, Chihuahua, México, Rosie trajo calidez y alegría a todos quienes la conocieron a lo largo de su vida.

Rosie era la hija querida de Lidia Muñoz (Lili) y el difunto Salvador Chávez. También fue criada con cariño por su padrastro, el difunto Alberto Muñoz. Su familia unida incluía a sus hermanos Bertha Chávez, Julio Chávez, Salvador “Chava” Chávez, Jesús “Chuy” Chávez y Ana Leal “Anita”. Apreciaba a sus numerosos sobrinos y sobrinas, ahijados y ahijadas, así como a sus numerosos sobrinos y sobrinas nietas, quienes le brindaron un inmenso orgullo y felicidad.

Mujer de espíritu vibrante y generosidad inagotable, Rosie tenía el don de unir a las personas. Era el alma de cada reunión: su risa contagiosa, sus historias inolvidables. Ya fuera compartiendo una historia divertida o ayudando a alguien necesitado, la presencia de Rosie iluminaba cada habitación en la que entraba.

Rosie encontraba alegría en los placeres sencillos de la vida. Le encantaba tejer bufandas y mantas con esmero y creatividad. Armar rompecabezas le proporcionaba una satisfacción silenciosa, mientras que viajar con sus seres queridos la llenaba de emoción y asombro. Por encima de todo, atesoraba el tiempo que pasaba con su familia: esos momentos de conexión que significaban todo para ella.

Su fe era una parte importante de su vida. Rosie disfrutaba asistir a la Iglesia Católica de San Judas los domingos junto a su madre. Estos momentos de oración eran profundamente significativos para ella y reflejaban los valores que impregna cada aspecto de su vida.

Rosie será recordada no solo por su humor y calidez, sino también por la generosidad que brindaba a los demás. Su legado vive en los corazones de quienes tuvieron la fortuna de conocerla.

Que el recuerdo de Rosie traiga consuelo a todos los que la amaron y siga inspirando actos de amor y alegría en el mundo que deja atrás.

Maria Luisa Rael

January 28 ^th , 1933 – July 11 ^th , 2025

Maria Luisa Rael was born in Michoacan, Mexico to Santiago and Dolores Centeno on January 28 ^th , 1933. As a teenager, her family moved to Juarez, Mexico. In 1956 she married Ben Rael and moved to El Paso, TX. It is there that she cultivated a life of love and generosity.

She is remembered by many for a giving spirit and her fierce capacity for love. She always wanted to make sure those she loved were taken care of, whether it be the people surrounding her or the stray cats on her doorstep. Her favorite way in particular of caring for people was to ensure they never went hungry. It is this warm spirit that gave her a gift for friendship, she could make a friend wherever she went and maintained several lifelong friendships. Though petite in stature, she had a huge personality that was spirited and determined. She was always ready for an adventure, especially to her favorite place, Disneyland.

She worked varied types of jobs during her life, ranging from a cook to a caregiver, but upon retiring took pride in helping to raise her grandchildren. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren were the light of her life. Maria Luisa was guided by her faith as a devoted Catholic. She actively attended mass every Sunday and maintained a strong daily prayer life through a daily reciting of the Rosary, often offering her prayers for her grandchildren mentioned above.

At 92 years old, she is met in heaven by her husband Ben Rael, her parents, her sisters Maria Guadalupe Avila and Maria Holloway, along with the many dogs she loved and cherished throughout her life. She is survived by her only daughter Yolanda Gonzalez (Tomas Gonzalez), her grandchildren Ben Baker, Andrea Bernal (George Bernal), and Elizabeth Gonzalez, her great grandchildren Nicholas Baker, Julia Baker, Adeline Baker, and Caleb Baker, her brother Jesus Centeno and sister Maria Luz Martinez, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. In addition, she leaves behind Samantha, Ashlyn, Bella, and Ethan (deceased), whom she loved as her own grandchildren.

We want to thank Armonia Hospice staff for their professional and loving care, and Juanita Manzano for her loving service in Maria Luisa’s later years. One of Maria Luisa’s greatest passions was God’s furry companions. Owning and loving several dogs throughout her life and caring for stray cats around her home gave her purpose and fulfillment. Thus in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Humane Society of El Paso.

To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die –

Thomas Campbell

We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our son, John Tobias, Jr. who was taken from us on July 7, 2025, at the age of 30. Nothing seems adequate to describe the devastating void left behind by the loss of our son, brother, and friend. Junior was our constant, our protector, our unconditional love. He spent his life serving others with a smile and a twinkle in his eye. He was a giver - a giver of friendship, of loyalty, and of his time.

Upon graduating from Montwood High School, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps where he was stationed at Marine Corps Air Station in Cherry Point, NC; he worked in Aviation Logistics. After his service, he found his footing in diesel mechanics. He graduated from Western Tech University in June of 2021. He moved to San Antonio, TX where he worked with his younger brother at Bruckner’s Truck and Equipment. He had just returned to his home in El Paso, TX to pursue a degree in cyber security.

There is so much that we will miss about our wonderful son. His first love was his family, whom he adored and cherished like no other. Whatever his parents or siblings needed, it was guaranteed that Junior would be there. His steadfast love was unwavering and fierce. When he laughed, his head would fall back and the roar of his precious laughter would fill the room. He always greeted us with a bear hug. His arms would wrap around us tight and hold us close until we were ready to let go. He was witty, strong-willed, and bigger than life.

His second love was his beloved Marine Corps where he found brothers that had an unspoken and unbreakable bond. There was no such thing as a favor amongst Marines, no score kept – only faithfulness to show up for each other in time of need. We will forever be grateful to his brothers for the love they showed our beautiful son. That brotherhood overflowed into the friendships he formed outside of the Marines. Junior was beloved by so many friends. Our hearts are full meeting those that admired and truly treasured him. Thank you for sharing your stories with us.

Junior loved mechanics and cars, riding his motorcycle any time of day, but watching the sunrise early in the morning was healing and something he looked forward to on the weekends. He had friends from all walks of life, all ages, all backgrounds. He was selfless, a great mentor, and the best brother and son we could ever have hoped for.

Junior is survived by his mom Sandra Tobias, stepdad John, younger brothers: Jay and Sean, and sister Caroline. He is also survived by his dad Jose Hernandez, sister Jasmine, and stepmom Elsie. He is also survived by his wife, Mariah Tobias.

Although I will pace myself, Son, someday I will see you again. Until then, my Superman, I love you to the moon and back, and around the world a million times!

Please join us as we celebrate his life! We ask family and friends not to wear black.

En memoria de Sandra Ruth Zavala Noviembre 8,1971 - Julio 7, 2025

Amada esposa, madre, abuela, hermana, hija y amiga Sandra Ruth Zavala, de 53 años, partió con el Señor el lunes por la mañana, 7 de julio de 2025, en El Paso, Texas.

Con profundo amor la recuerdan;

Sus hijos;

Jesús Abraham Zavala, David Esteban Zavala, Daniel Jacobo Zavala y Carolina Ruth Zavala

Sus nietos;

Camila Valentina Zavala y Diego Abraham Zavala

Sus hermanas; Hilda J. Carranco, Claudia L. Nevárez y Cynthia R. Estrada

Sus padres;

Francisca Castro de Nevárez y Jesús Nevárez Carrejo

Y su amado esposo;

Jesús Zavala.

Sandra nació en Ciudad Juárez el 8 de Noviembre de 1971. Fue la tercera de cuatro hermanas. Desde joven demostró una profunda sensibilidad y un gran corazón. Conoció al amor de su vida, Jesús Zavala, con quien formó una hermosa familia.

Juntos criaron con amor a tres hijos y una hija, quienes fueron el mayor orgullo y la mayor dicha de Sandra. Fue una madre paciente, indulgente, humilde y llena de ternura. Nunca se perdió un cumpleaños, una graduación, ni una reunión familiar. Preparaba las comidas más sabrosas, siempre con un toque de amor que las hacía inolvidables. Gracias a ella, nunca faltó el cariño en el hogar…siempre hubo de sobra.

Sandra fue una verdadera luchadora, con un corazón tan grande como su espíritu. Fue la mejor maestra que muchos conocieron, no solo en las aulas, sino en la vida. Enseñó a amar, a perdonar, a respetar y a luchar con fé. Siempre decía con dulzura y convicción: “Todo va a estar bien, mis niños… todo va a estar bien.”

Durante su Carrera como Maestra en Denver y en El Paso toco los corazones de todos sus alumnos.

Tocó la vida de todos los que tuvieron la bendición de cruzarse en su camino, con su belleza interior y exterior, su compasión y su sabiduría.

Su legado ha quedado sembrado en nuestros corazones. Las memorias que nos deja vivirán para siempre en quienes tuvimos el honor de conocerla.

Descansa en paz, Sandra. Tu luz y tu amor seguirán iluminando nuestras vidas

In Loving Memory of our Beloved

Mary Anne Bell

April 09, 1935 – July 05, 2025

Beloved Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Sister, and Friend Mary Anne Bell, 90, entered peaceful and eternal rest on Saturday morning July 05, 2025 in El Paso, Texas. She is lovingly survived by her sons, Mark Johnson, Steven Johnson, James Johnson, Scott Johnson; granddaughters Jennifer, Nicole, Tiffany, Jazmin, Patrisha, Mary Anne; grandsons Aaron, DJ, Chris; living sister Diane (Mattern) Coffin and eleven great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her beloved parents Earl and Mathilda Mattern, siblings Doris, Maynard, Robert and David and loving husband

 Homer R. Bell.

Mary Anne was born and raised on a small farm in Sherwood, North Dakota on April 09, 1935. She was the third youngest of six children—three brothers and two sisters—from Earl and Mathilda Mattern. After graduating from high school, she left the farm and moved with her girlfriend Nina to Washington where she met and married her first husband Mark E. Johnson—a warrant officer in the US Army. They had four boys and were stationed in San Pedro, California, Long Island, New York, Italy and finally Fort Bliss in 1968. She divorced Mark and got re-married to Homer Bell in 1977. Mary Anne worked as a cosmetologist at Gunning-Casteel Drugstore at RushFair in Northeast El Paso and Revco Drug store on McCrae Boulevard for twenty years. Her physical and spiritual beauty and glowing personality endeared her to coworkers and customers alike.

Mary Anne’s greatest joy and love in life was being a nurturing mother to her four boys and a loving grandmother. She never missed a birthday, graduation, school play, tennis match or baseball game. She was an amazing cook who poured her heart into preparing delicious, wholesome meals from scratch for her family and friends that fostered well-being and strengthened family bonds, especially during Christmas and Thanksgiving. Like the Rock of Gibraltar, the love for her children was deeply rooted, unwavering, and unconditional to the very end.

Mary Anne touched countless lives with her outer and inner beauty, kindness, compassion, and authenticity. Her legacy is woven into the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her, and the cherished memories she leaves behind will continue to inspire and uplift.

Dr., 79935 (915) 590-8700. Interment will follow at Ft Bliss National Cemetery, 5200 Fred Wilson Ave, 79906.

Con profundo dolor y amor eterno, anunciamos el fallecimiento de René Antonio Rivas, quien partió en paz el martes 17 de junio de 2025 en El Paso, Texas, a la edad de 71 años. Nació el 27 de marzo de 1954 en San Salvador, El Salvador.

Amaba profundamente a su esposa, Rosina Rivas, con quien compartió una vida llena de amor y fortaleza. Juntos formaron una hermosa familia con sus cuatro hijas: Aurora Guerrero, Ana Maria Gutierrez, Alicia Renée Rivas-Abad y Alejandra Cecilia Rivas. También deja en vida a sus yernos Arturo Guerrero, Rafael Abad, Roberto Zamarripa y Christian Rivera, y a su hijo adoptivo César Díaz.

René fue un abuelo amoroso y dedicado para sus nietos Santiago y Emma Guerrero, quienes fueron su más grande orgullo y alegría.

René fue un hombre trabajador, generoso y entregado, con una pasión inmensa por los carros y camiones. Dedicó su vida a su oficio como mecánico diésel, una vocación que inició en El Salvador como mecánico de aviones al servicio del Presidente del país. Su talento y determinación lo acompañaron al emigrar a los Estados Unidos, donde dejó una huella imborrable en la comunidad de El Paso.

Por más de 43 años, René fue un pilar dentro del programa de Alcohólicos Anónimos (AA) de El Paso. Fue cofundador de varios centros y dedicó incontables horas de su vida a ayudar a quienes buscaban una nueva oportunidad, siempre con palabras de aliento y un corazón dispuesto.

Además de su amor por la mecánica, René disfrutaba la música, las películas clásicas, una buena comida y su infaltable taza de café con dos cucharadas de azúcar. También fue un apasionado del fútbol, deporte que seguía con entusiasmo y que le brindaba mucha alegría a lo largo de su vida.

René será recordado por su gran corazón, su humildad, y su disposición constante de poner a los demás antes que a sí mismo. Muchos pueden dar testimonio del impacto positivo que dejó en sus vidas.

Si hay algo que podemos aprender de él, es a vivir con más generosidad, entrega y amor por los demás.

Anita “Nane” Gutierrez

March 13, 1935 – June 2, 2025

Anita “Nane” Gutierrez, 90, of Marfa, Texas, passed away peacefully on June 2, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family.

Born on March 13, 1935, in Marfa, Anita lived a long and beautiful life grounded in love, faith, family, and quiet strength. She was preceded in death by her beloved son, Martin Patricio Gutierrez, and her cherished grandson, Andrew Gutierrez.

She is survived by her devoted husband of 63 years, Martin Gutierrez; her daughter, Terry Gutierrez Regalado, her sons, Ruben Gutierrez, Miguel Gutierrez, Billy Townes; Son-in-Law Ruben Regalado, daughters-in-law, Monica Gutierrez and Barbara Gutierrez; her grandchildren, Diana Gutierrez, Patrick and Ilse Gutierrez, Darlene Lopez, Isabella Lopez; and many loving nieces, nephews, extended family, and lifelong friends.

Anita was the second youngest of twelve children—six brothers and five sisters—from the well-known Salgado family of Marfa, Texas. Early in life, she worked at a local clothing factory, where a company dance in Juárez, Mexico, changed her life forever—that’s where she met Martin, the love of her life.

A dedicated homemaker, Anita poured her heart into raising her children and grandchildren—and, as many will say, helped raise the neighborhood too. Her home was a place of welcome, comfort, and unconditional love.

She had a deep love for music and a devout Catholic faith that guided her through life’s joys and hardships. Through her gentle example, she instilled strong values in her family and touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Anita will be remembered for her faith and devotion, warmth, humor, wisdom, and the calming presence she brought to those around her. She will be deeply missed and forever loved.

He honorably served his country in the United States Army from 1970 to 1976 and dedicated 42 years to Civil Service. A true jack of all trades, he was a skilled handyman who could fix just about anything, inspiring those around him with his knack for problem-solving. Reymundo was especially passionate about sports, and he proudly cheered for his favorite team, the UTEP Miners and the Texas Longhorns.

Reymundo will be profoundly missed, yet we find solace in knowing that he has taken his place in the Kingdom of Heaven, where he watches over us with love and pride.

En Memoria de Blanca Rosa Castillo
18 de Agosto 1958 - 11 de Mayo 2025

Con profunda tristeza y mucho amor, lamentamos el fallecimiento de Blanca Rosa Castillo, una hija, madre, abuela, bisabuela, hermana, tía, y amiga devota, quien partió en paz el 11 de Mayo 2025 a la edad de 66 años.

Blanca, vivió una vida llena de gracia, compasión y una fortaleza inquebrantable. Fue el pilar de su familia y una fuente de consuelo y sabiduría para todos los que la conocieron. Su mayor alegría se encontraba en el amor que compartía con su familia. Como madre, cuidó a sus hijos con paciencia, guía y un amor incondicional, siempre anteponiendo sus necesidades a las propias.

Blanca era conocida por su gran corazón, su sonrisa cálida y su espíritu generoso. Ya fuera a través de una palabra de aliento o simplemente escuchando, daba con amor a todos los que la rodeaban. Su legado de bondad, fortaleza y fe vivirá por siempre en los corazones de quienes la conocieron.

Le sobreviven su mamá Guadalupe Nevarez, su hermano Jesús Manuel Domínguez, sus hijos Raymundo Castillo, Yvonne Estrada, Elizabeth Castillo, nietos Christopher Estrada, Anahí Castillo, Darren Corzo, Jacob Castillo, Nicklaus Estrada y sus bisnietas Violet y Gianna Estrada quienes continuarán honrando su memoria al vivir con el amor y la compasión que ella les enseñó.

Su amor fue una bendición, su memoria un tesoro. Se le ama con el alma y se le extraña más allá de las palabras.

John Conroy Paine

August 16, 1946 - March 23, 2025

Memorial service will be Friday, June 13, 2025 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. with a rosary at 7:00 p.m. at San Jose Funeral Home-East, 10950 Pellicano Dr., 79935 (915) 590-8700. Memorial mass will be Saturday, June 14, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. at 1810 Elm St., 79930.

John Conroy Paine, 78, passed away on March 23, 2025 in El Paso, Texas.

Born on August 16, 1946, to Charles and Constance Paine, in El Paso, John spent his life dedicated to education, creativity, and family. For more than 25 years, he excelled as a high school English, history, and philosophy teacher in Alamogordo, New Mexico, and El Paso, Texas and he became a beloved figure among both students and fellow educators. He spent the majority of his teaching years at Andress High School in northeast El Paso, substituting all over the city in his retirement years. His passion for teaching and his unique approach to the subject and how he related to his students earned him a reputation as a “legend” in the classroom, in addition to his well-known and omnipresent push broom mustache, with a golf tee between his teeth.

Beyond his career in education, John was also an entrepreneur with a deep appreciation for craftsmanship. He owned and operated Paine’s Card Shop and Paine’s Card Nook (started by his parents), where he used an old-fashioned printing press to create beautiful Southwest-themed Christmas cards, before being put out of business by corporate America. His artistic touch and dedication to traditional printing methods that he learned from his father made his work cherished by many, and it still is to this day.

John had a sharp wit and a carefree spirit that endeared him to those who knew him best. He found joy in buying unnecessary things and hamburgers for his grand babies, solving crossword puzzles, reading racy Western novels, caring for his many pets, and taking his beloved wife out for her favorite Mexican food.

A man of faith throughout his life, John primarily attended Saint Clement’s, Holy Spirit, and, most recently, Saint Alban’s Episcopal Church. His connection to these places of worship reflected his values and sense of community and fellowship, along with lifelong friendships. It was at St. Clement’s that John met his beloved wife (and he was right about the third “time” being the charm, much to Judith’s chagrin).

John is survived by his wife of over 20 years, Judith Haynes; his son, John Charles Paine (Mackenzie Burns); and his daughter, Rebecca Savage. He is also survived by his four grandchildren (Emma, Benjamin, Scarlett, and Logan) and many extended family members (cousin Margaret and the Albuquerque clan were always more like immediate family). He was predeceased by his parents, Charles and Connie Paine, Patricia Palmer, his former wife and the mother of his children, and Edward Savage, his son-in-law.

John’s legacy lives on through the countless students he inspired, the family who loved him dearly, and the many lives he touched with his humor and kindness. May his memory bring comfort to all who knew him.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the American Heart Association, Hospice of El Paso, any educational non-profit, or a non-profit of your choice in John's memory.

María Guzmán Carrera
She was born on May 8, 1932; however, she was officially registered on June 8, 1935, which is why we celebrate her life every day of the year. She passed away on May 5, 2025, in El Paso, Texas.

Her parents: Manuel Guzmán Meléndez and her mother, Esther Carrera Martínez.
Her siblings: José, Ignacio, Matías, Luis, Teresa, Soledad, Guadalupe, Felipe, and Antonio.
Mother of Marta Elisa, Carlos Rubén, Eva Margarita, and Sergio Fernando.

She was born in San Vicente del Oro, Durango, Mexico. Her childhood was very free and happy, in the company of her siblings and family. She lived with very limited resources and learned at an early age how to move forward. She migrated to the northern border, to Ciudad Juárez and El Paso, at a young age to seek opportunities and provide for her two oldest children.

María was a loving, determined, maternal, and supportive woman—present, an unconditional friend, generous, with great skill in the culinary arts and a passion for good food. She spent much of her life serving others and sharing her blessings and talents with those most in need. Always willing to give everything without expecting anything in return. Devoted to her family, her children, grandchildren, great-granddaughters, and to her faith. She had a very close connection to God and the Holy Family.

During her final moments, she deeply enjoyed the company of her loved ones, friends, and caregivers.

We are grateful to Envision Hospice for the attention and care with which they helped prepare us for the passing of our mother, friend, and extraordinary life companion.

María Guzmán Carrera
Nació el 8 de Mayo, de 1932; sin embargo, fue registrada el 8 de Junio, de 1935, y es por eso que le celebramos su vida todos los días del año. Partió el 5 de Mayo, de 2025 en El Paso, Texas.

Sus padres: Manuel Guzmán Meléndez y su mamá, Esther Carrera Martínez.
Sus hermanos: José, Ignacio, Matías, Luis, Teresa, Soledad, Guadalupe, Felipe y Antonio.
Madre de Marta Elisa, Carlos Rubén, Eva Margarita y Sergio Fernando.

Nació en San Vicente del Oro, Durango, México. Su niñez fue muy libre y feliz, en compañía de sus hermanos y familia. Vivió con recursos muy limitados y aprendió a temprana edad a salir adelante. Migró a la frontera norte, a Ciudad Juárez y El Paso, a una corta edad para buscar oportunidades y proveer para sus dos hijos mayores.

María fue una mujer amorosa, determinante, maternal, solidaria, presente, una amiga incondicional, dadivosa, con gran dominio de las artes culinarias y el buen comer. Pasó gran parte de su vida dando servicio a los demás y compartiendo sus bienes y talentos con los más necesitados. Siempre dispuesta a darlo todo sin esperar algo a cambio. Consagrada a su familia, sus hijos, nietos(as), bisnietas y a la fe. Tenía una conexión muy cercana a Dios y la Sagrada Familia.

Durante sus últimos momentos de vida, disfrutó enormemente la compañía de sus seres queridos, amigas y proveedoras.

Agradecemos los servicios de Envision Hospice por la atención y cuidados con los que nos prepararon para la partida de nuestra madre, amiga y extraordinaria compañera de vida.

She later returned to UTEP to receive a Masters in Education. She dedicated her teaching career to educating local high school students in the areas of Chemistry and Biology in the El Paso, Gadsden and Canutillo Independent School Districts for over 20 years.

She was a dedicated and loving wife, mother, sister-in-law, aunt and grandmother. She was an avid fan of Hispanic literary works, travel and baking her famous "cuernito" cookies. She is survived by her loving husband Francisco A. Vargas, daughters Laura Intebi (Charlie), Monica Vargas-Mahar (Keith) and Sandra "Nena" Vargas (Sarah) and four grandsons: Max and Paco Intebi and Alec and Vincent Mahar.

El Paso TX, 79925. and to be followed to Evergreen Cemetery located at 12400 Montana Ave. El Paso TX, 79938.

Alejandro (Alex) Hernandez Jr. passed away peacefully at his home in El Paso, Texas surrounded by his loving family on April 26, 2025 at the age of 74. Born on August 14, 1950, the beloved son of Candelaria and Alejandro Hernandez Sr., he was raised in Socorro, Texas and was a member of the first graduating class of Socorro High School in 1968. He became a local legend as Socorro’s first All State Football player, First District and Bi-District , and an All-District Basketball star. In 1971 he proudly became one of El Paso Police Department’s finest officers, Badge # 299, where he continued to serve for 28 years. He was a mainstay at Central Regional Command with the Community Service Division and an original member of the SWAT team.

Alex will always be remembered for his wit, humor, and sarcasm. If laughter is the best medicine, then Alex was the cure! Ever the comedian, his very presence could fill the room with warmth, joy, and uproarious laughter. He never passed up a chance to make a joke, no matter the situation, and could always be counted on to lighten the mood.

He was a man of his word and always showed up for the people he cared about. A giant among men and ever the gentleman to women. Babies, small children, and animals adored him in an instant. He loved ( and was loved by) dogs, horses, and birds. Well-read and well-traveled. He could hold a conversation with anyone and made friends everywhere he went. He was easy going and down to earth, and yet fiercely protective and lion-hearted for the ones he loved. It is fitting that he was born a Leo. Kept good books and even better company. When you were down on your luck, you wanted Alex by your side and if you were blessed with good fortune, you wanted Alex by your side.

Alex traveled the globe and thus brought his humor and charm to places far and wide such as China, Italy, Portugal, England, France, Germany, and Switzerland. He made Pilgrimages to Lourdes, the Vatican, and Saint James Way. He stood atop the Great Wall of China, walked through Tiananmen Square, and ate dim sum in Hong Kong. His Life’s adventures could fill up novels and still could never encompass the immensity of his impact on this world.

He is survived by his loving wife Mary Lou, his children Alex Jr. (Tiffani) Hernandez, Michael (Yvette) Hernandez, Amanda Hernandez, and Andrew( Antonia) Hernandez, his grandchildren Alexandra, A.J., Bella, Ben, Aiden, and Alexander, his great-granddaughters Addison and Josie, his sisters Rosie Nelson and Alicia Miramontes.

He is preceded in death by his parents Candelaria and Alejandro Hernandez Sr., his daughter Gina Mosher, and his grandson Bryce Mosher.

A sus 91 años, faltando tan solo 9 días para celebrar sus 90 primaveras, nuestra amada Felicidad Feliciano Colon se ha ido para morar con nuestro Señor. Falleciendo en paz y en presencia de sus hijos Elizabeth y Johnny. Es digno de admirar que fue una madre ejemplar y cariñosa.

Felicidad nacio y fue criada en Ceiba, Puerto Rico, el 2 de mayo de 1933. Siendo huerfana a los 9 años, fue acogida en hogares cristianos donde sembraron en ella la semilla del amor y temor de Dios. Un 20 de octubre del 1952, se unio en matrimonio con Florencio Hernandez. Felicidad era cariñosamente llamada Felita, Fel, Fela y Fe. Era una mujer empatica, mujer fiel y sierva del Señor, con habilidades sociales increibles, generosa, siempre dispuesta a server y ayudar a los demas. Ella disfruto en vida del cariño y la Amistad de cuantos la conocian, hacienda honor a su nombre, siempre con una sonrisa amable impactando a muchos. Disfruto viajando por el mundo visitando paises en Europa al igual que a diferentes estados de los Estados Unidos. Para ella todo era posible, no existia tiempo, ni distancia, ni dinero que impidiera disfrutar su vida a lo maximo con su familia. La recordaremos como una madre que se distinguio por ser siempre cariñosa, amable, llena de alegria, espiritu jovial, cantante y quien asi mismo contagiaba de alegria a los demas. Todos los que tuvimos la oportunidad y bendicion de conocerla podemos decir que Felicidad nos impacto y quedo grabada para siempre en nuestros corazones. Damos gracias a Dios por habernos permitido tener una madre tan especial que nos impartio educacion y disciplina, siendo a su vez cariñosa y por igual temerosa de Dios.

It is with great sadness and solemn hearts that we announce the passing of our dearly beloved Richard Q. Holguin who departed on April 27th 2025 in his home in El Paso Texas at the age of 72, whose presence will be sorely missed. He fought and won a battle with cancer in 2019 only to be diagnosed with a different cancer in April 2024. He was strong and he fought hard and over the last year with the help of his family and his provider Mel, he was able to have more independence and a better quality of life. His grandkids and great grandchildren brought him great joy. His friend Jeff would come and visit him and was a great support to him when he was feeling down. He was blessed to be able to live at home until he was called to God.

He was born in Salinas, California and grew up in King City. He proudly served in the US Army for four years and was stationed in El Paso Texas, which he made his home. He retired as an over the road truck driver, which took him all over the country. Whenever he had a chance, he would visit family in his travels. He loved action movies and westerns. He loved bowling and spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Although Richard is no longer with us, he will continue to light up the room in spirit and bring joy to those he knew in this life. He is forever in our hearts and loving memories and will eternally be imprinted in the souls he touched by his good deeds and positivity we all embraced by being around him.

Richard Holguin was preceded in death by his parents Alfred Holguin and Helen Quevedo, his brother Alfred Holguin Jr., and his wife Eve Holguin. He is survived by his brothers John Holguin and Robert Holguin, his son Richard Holguin Jr. and his four daughters Stephanie Holguin, Nicole Arzate, Amanda Castillo and Della Macias and their children and great grandchildren.

Carlos Lozoya Terrazas

Sat, 26 Apr 2025 15:39:58 GMT

Carlos Lozoya Terrazas

September 5, 1932 - April 18, 2025

Carlos L. Terrazas, was born Sept. 5, 1932, in Valle de Zaragoza, Chihuahua, Mexico, and died on April 18, 2025. As he was breathing his last, he was surrounded by his five children – listed from oldest to youngest – Beatriz, Luis Carlos, Angelica, Karla, and Victor Hugo. His second wife, his surviving brother and sister, his two sons-in-law and third son-in-law-to-be also saw him in his last hours. We thanked him, told him how much we loved him, and that we would be okay, he could leave in peace. We also recalled his 92 years of life, all the things he did that we know of, and the things we learned from him about his early years.

He came to this country as a bracero, a now defunct method for international workers to legally work in our agricultural industry. Think “brazos” – someone who works with his/her arms doing manual labor. He harvested produce that ended up on American dinner tables, and at one time worked in the cotton fields, like so many brown and Black people did before and after him.

He met his first wife in Las Cruces, NM, and the doctor for whom she worked sponsored their application for citizenship. Dr. Ezra Neidich was also the one who talked a medical team out of amputating his right foot when an agricultural accident shredded several toes and part of his right foot. Instead, surgeries and skin grafts meant he had a working foot for the rest of his life, albeit one that in his last years was prone to skin sores that were difficult to treat.

He later worked in New Mexico, digging into the soil and constructing missile silos. Once, he told us that occasionally the construction workers were told to gather in a safe place where they could watch weapon launches from those silos without getting hurt.

He eventually moved on from that job and opened a hardware store across the border in Ciudad Juárez. Like so many fronterizos, his life was binational, bicultural, and bilingual. Even after retiring from his own small business, he always did part-time jobs because he couldn’t sit still and do nothing.

Angelica and Beatriz have always gotten season tickets to the El Paso Chihuahuas because our dad loved baseball. In his last years, he didn’t always feel well, but if there was a game for which we had tickets, he went with us. The folks at the entrance knew him and made sure he got his rollator through the gates and in the doors and up the elevator to our assigned seats. Sometimes, if we were losing badly, we’d leave the game early. One game last season we were getting trounced. We wanted to leave but he pressed us to wait, and of course, we had a spectacular comeback and won. He watched a final Chihuahuas game a few weeks ago when the season opened.

He never forgot where he came from, nor the circumstances of his early life. He reminded us to help those we could and not forget about who had less than we did. There was

particular young man in his neighborhood near Bowie High School – a recent immigrant – whom he was trying to help until the very end with gifts of his own old furniture, furniture he had gotten second- or thirdhand himself.

In his last year, he talked a lot about his childhood in Mexico – he was so poor he and his brothers made their own toys. His mother died young of some kind of fever; he was around 16 when she died. Lately, he became emotional when he thought of her. He became emotional at the thought of leaving his grown children. He felt he needed more time to be gather with his kids, grandkids and his surviving siblings. He valued his family above all else.

We used to think that he was afraid of dying, and that had to do with his grief. Today, we’re not so sure. Maybe he realized that in the span of 92 years he had seen and done so much, and he simply couldn’t imagine that exploration coming to an end. He came from a truly hardscrabble life in another country, and was able to see, what was for him, so much of the world, and so much evolution, from the cotton fields to rocket silos, from construction work to having his own business, five kids and six grandkids.

It makes us rethink our own lives, and what we used to consider “living a big life” – having enough money to buy things we want or travel the world. Maybe it’s not that at all. Because we see now that in his own eyes, he lived a big life.

Carlos is preceded in death by his parents, Gilberto Terrazas and María Lozoya, his brothers, Juan, Manuel, Samuel, Roberto, Isaías, Gustavo, and daughter María Icela. He is survived by his brother Daniel, his sister Olivia Agosto, his five children, Beatriz, Luis Carlos, Angelica, Karla, and Victor Hugo, and six grandchildren.

We will see you on the other side, Dad. We miss you already

Visitation to be held Wednesday, April 30, 2025, at San Jose Funeral Home Central from 9 AM to 11 AM; with a Vigil Service at 10 AM. Funeral Mass to follow at Sacred Heart Church at 11:30 AM.

Heavenly Father,

We thank You for the life of our beloved mother, Darlene Kay Waggoner.
You blessed us with her love, her strength, and her faith.
She taught us to walk in Your light, to pray in all things,
and to never doubt the power of Your grace.

Her hands were gentle but strong,
Her words were wise and kind,
Her heart was full of faith,
And her spirit reflected Your love.

Now, Lord, we release her into Your arms.
We find peace knowing she rests with You, free of pain,
surrounded by the everlasting joy of Your Kingdom.

Help us to carry her lessons forward—
To love like she did, to give like she gave,
And to trust in You as she always did.

Until we meet again, we thank You for the gift she was in our lives.

In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen .

She lived life on her own terms, with fierce determination and an unmistakable flair, never afraid to wear bright colors, take up

space on the dance floor, or shower her family with love. She was a woman of strength, style, and spirit. She faced life with grace, determination, and a fire that never dimmed. Even in her later years, she insisted on staying mobile and active — a testament to her pride, independence, and unshakable spirit. She remained stylish, sharp, and full of life until the very end.

She is survived by her brother Raul Segura; her children: Mary Ann Luna, Gerarda Mendoza, and Manuel Quesada Jr.; and her grandchildren: Jose Alberto Luna Jr., Jo Ann Luna, Ann Marie

Luna, Christa Pratte, John David Luna, Christian Luna, Anna Luna, Valerie Hodgin, Alyssa Mendoza, Alexandria Fierro, Amber Garcia, Angel Mendoza, Vanessa Quesada, and Christopher Quesada. Her legacy continues through her 13 great-grandchildren,

each carrying a piece of her spirit forward.

Victoria is preceded in death by her beloved son David Quesada; her parents, Maria de Jesus Moncada and Thomas Segura; and her siblings: Delia Ronyak, Petra Alvarado, Thomas Segura, Jose Segura, Rosendo Segura, Carolina Mesa, andManuela Segura.

Junior enjoyed karaoke/singing, sports, reality tv, spicy food, family game nights, and music. He was a proud Veteran of the U.S. Army. He often spent his time “thinking with his eyes closed,” making his “famous” deviled eggs, and wearing flip flops to every possible occasion. He shared his passion for soccer with his two eldest children, Kacee and Esperanza, and introduced his youngest son, Daelen, to a passion for hockey. His favorite sports teams included Liverpool F.C., the Las Vegas Golden Nights, Syracuse Orange, and the Dallas Cowboys. Junior often showed his love through gift giving, so those close to him have every sports jersey they could dream of. Junior’s presence was radiating, and his energy was contagious. We can remember him through love, laughter, and fun times.

Junior is survived by his three children, Kacee Muñoz, Esperanza Muñoz, and Daelen Muñoz, his mother Carolina Muñoz, siblings Krystle Luna and Frank Muñoz, along with his aunt, uncle, cousins, nieces, and nephew. He was preceded in death by his youngest brother Ramiro Muñoz.

Socorro Ceniceros, cariñosamente conocida como “Mami Coco”, nació el 1 de noviembre de 1935 en Torreón, Coahuila. Matriarca de la familia, Socorro fue el pilar que sostuvo a sus 9 hijos, 23 nietos, 16 bisnietos, y 4 tataranietos gracias al amor incondicional, sabiduría, y ejemplo de vida que demostraba cada día. Amante de la comida y de la aventura, Socorro fue una madre y abuela llena de vida que encontró su mayor alegría conviviendo con la gente, especialmente durante los varios viajes que disfruto con su familia a lo largo de la vida.

Más que nada, Socorro tenía un corazón generoso y un espíritu lleno de ternura. A lo largo de su vida trabajó en diversos oficios, pero el que más amó fue en una guardería de niños, donde durante muchos años cuidó con cariño a los bebés. Socorro se mantuvo activa y trabajó en la guardería hasta los 78 años, siendo siempre un gran ejemplo de amor, fortaleza e independencia. Su ingenio y sentido del humor eran incomparables; han sido una de las mayores herencias que dejó a su familia. Siempre encontraba formas de hacernos reír, incluso hasta el último momento.

La extrañaremos profundamente y la recordaremos como una fuente inagotable de cariño y fortaleza. Su legado vivirá por siempre en los corazones de quienes la conocieron.

En Memoria de Nuestra Amada

Felipa Ávila Perdue

1 de mayo de 1931 – 22 de marzo de 2025

Con profundo pesar anunciamos el fallecimiento de Felipa Ávila Perdue, quien partió de este mundo el 22 de marzo de 2025. Felipa nació el 1 de mayo de 1931 en Bañuelos, Zacatecas, siendo la primera de ocho hermanos: siete hermanas y un hermano.

En 1955, Felipa se aventuró junto a su hermana Eloísa a Santa Mónica, California, donde construyó una vida llena de memorias. Allí conoció al amor de su vida, Benny Perdue, y juntos hicieron de California su hogar hasta el fallecimiento de Benny a principios de los años 1990. Posteriormente, Felipa regresó a Ciudad Juárez para vivir con su madre, quien lamentablemente falleció en 1994. En busca de compañía y nuevos recuerdos, Felipa se mudó a El Paso, Texas, para vivir junto a su hermana Esperanza, quien no solo fue su compañera, sino su apoyo más grande y cuidadora dedicada hasta sus últimos días. El vínculo entre las dos hermanas fue un hermoso testimonio de amor fraternal.

Felipa será recordada por su espíritu alegre y su amor por la vida. Disfrutaba de las fiestas, de convivir con su familia y de deleitarse con la comida, especialmente los postres. Fanática de cualquier dulce, Felipa tenía un cariño especial por las paletas y los postres, que siempre la hacían sonreír.

Aunque no tuvo hijos, su vida estuvo llena de amor gracias a sus sobrinos, a quienes dedicó su cariño incondicional. Fue una tía extraordinaria, siempre presente en los triunfos y las alegrías de su familia, celebrando cada logro como si fuera propio. Su calidez y apoyo fueron un regalo invaluable para todos los que tuvieron el privilegio de llamarla "tía".

Felipa sobrevive a sus hermanas María Chacón, Eloísa Santa Cruz, Esperanza Ávila, Celia Anchondo, Hortencia Sáenz, y su hermano, Eleazar Novella. Le preceden en la muerte su hermana, Magdalena Maldonado; su padre, Zeferino Ávila; su madre, Vicenta Ávila Novella; y su padrastro Crispín Novella.

Felipa fue una hermana, tía y amiga ejemplar, siempre risueña y con una sonrisa que iluminaba cualquier habitación. Su legado de alegría, bondad y dedicación familiar permanecerá en el corazón de todos los que la conocieron y amaron.

She was a 1960 El Paso, Austin High School graduate. In school she drove a 1952 Plymouth and a Red 1955 Pontiac convertible.

Can you imagine the 3 sisters cruising in that car?

Doris had 2 children, Elizabeth Carmen Arroyos born in El Paso, TX and Leonard Lujan born in San Francisco, CA. She has one grandchild, Adam Zachary Arroyos, from Elizabeth.

Upon moving from San Francisco to El Paso she got a job as a bank teller for the same Bank: State National, M Bank, Nations and Wells Fargo. Her final position was a supervisor after 39 years of service.

She received many awards and accolades during her remarkable career. She exhibited her true talent and work ethic in this industry. Could anyone imagine having customers bringing gifts from their respective countries because of her professionalism and kindness?

Doris’ interests included guitar, dancing and listening to many musicians especially Elvis and Janis Joplin. She was partial to psychedelic and R&B music.

She loved family trips to Las Vegas, playing cards and crossword puzzles, Holiday meals were her specialty, but did not enjoy the day today cooking routine.

Her favorite sports team was the Dallas Cowboys, especially when they won their first Superbowl in 1971.

We are all saddened for her passing and she will be sorely missed.

Fortunately, she left a memorable Legacy.

"With profound love, we announce the passing of Maria Lobato Amaya, who gained her angel wings on February 22, 2025, in El Paso, Texas, at the age of 58.

Born on December 29, 1966, in Pueblo, Colorado, to Jose A. Lobato and Helena M. Lobato, Maria was a woman of remarkable resilience, warmth, and generosity. Although she made El Paso her home, her childhood was filled with adventure, traveling to numerous places due to her father’s military and government service. She excelled academically and athletically, showcasing exceptional talent in writing, swimming, and rollerblading.

Maria had a heart that knew no bounds. Her meticulous nature and unwavering compassion shaped the way she cared for others, always standing up for those in need, no matter the circumstance. She dedicated much of her career to hospitality, where her kindness and empathy left lasting impressions on everyone she met. Beyond work, her greatest joys came from spending time with loved ones, especially her grandson, Sunny, whose presence brought her the brightest smiles.

A woman of immense strength, Maria faced life’s challenges with courage and grace. Even in the midst of her battle with cancer, she remained a source of comfort and laughter for those around her, sharing heartfelt conversations and imparting wisdom that will live on forever. Her final weeks were filled with beauty and peace, as she helped her children embrace the importance of love, joy, and serenity in life.

Maria is survived by her loving children, Adam and Skylar, her cherished grandson, Sunny, and a host of family and friends who will forever hold her in their hearts. She is reunited in heaven with her beloved parents and many dear loved ones, including the pets she adored.

We extend our deepest gratitude to those who stood by Maria’s side in her final days, as well as to the compassionate staff at El Paso Hospice. In lieu of flowers, donations in her honor may be made to organizations supporting animals or veterans, causes that were close to her heart.

Though Maria will be dearly missed, her love, strength, and spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. We will honor her by celebrating her life and embracing the happiness she wished for us all.

Maria, you will live forever in our hearts and memories."

Beloved child of God, wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great grandmother, great great grandmother and friend was called home on Tuesday, February 18, 2025.

Isidora (Isy) C. Marquez, 95, was born on April 4, 1929 in Rosewell, NM to Dora and Ramon Cardenas. Her siblings were Guadalupe Alvarado, Ramon Cardenas Jr and Virginia Anaya.

Isidora was a born-again Christian and a daughter of God. She would share the gospel and prayer with family and friends during times of need and times of joy. She would love to read Bible and share God's word. Her love and devotion for the Lord our Savior shined through her; providing peace to those around her.

Isy was a beautiful woman. Her dress was sophisticated and created with her own hands often. She was known to make beautiful suits and dresses. Her makeup was marvelous, lovely and effortless--- lipstick and blushed cheeks. She was known for her little hat and her purse.

The furbabies Milo and Milly were always by her side to provide her unconditional love and support. They were her happiness. She use to love whataburger and her meal was a double meat whataburger Jr. One patty was for her and the other was for Milo and Milly. Chiple furbabies. Isidora loved to sing, loud and proud. She would sing and her furbabies would join her, it was a sight to see.

Grandma always welcomed you in and loved you. She would watch us when we were little and it was a special time. English was not her first language but I remember she would take classes to learn English so she could communicate with us Grandchildren (who didn't speak Spanish very well). We would teach each other. No matter the language we always found a way to make it work and understand each other. That was so special.

Isidora always kept herself involved and busy. She was a devoted wife and mother. She helped raise and care for many of her Grandchildren. She volunteered at Thomason Hospital with new mothers. Her talents included making beautiful ceramic pieces, crocheting, drawing and writing. Isy would work on word searches. Grandma had the ability to make things grow. She had beauty all throughout their home. She always had spectacular rose bushes blooming in the yard, pomegranate bushes and big green plants in that backroom. Her children remember her making the best sopa de arroz and enchiladas. Their home was always full of love, laugh and memories.

Isidora joined her husband Edmundo Marquez+ in heaven. She was a mother to George Cardenas+, Blanca Flores (John+), Edmundo Marquez Jr. (Yolanda), Irma Ornelas (Freddy+), Javier Marquez, Gloria Chavez (Danny+), Sergio Marquez (Mary), Heriberto Marquez, Rosa Marquez, Raul Marquez (Gloria), Jamie Marquez+ and Laura Marquez. Grandchildren included: Michael, Bonnie, Cindy, Patrick, Sally, Jason, Ceasar, Jamie+, Veronica, Christine, Freddy+, Stefany+, Monica, Bernadette, Allison, Danielle, Keith, Diana, Savannah, Anthony, AJ, Christopher, Adrian, Nicholas and Timothy. Isidora had 43 Great Grandchildren and 9 Great Great Grandchildren with 2 more Great Great Granddaughters on the way.

Her favorite saying was aqui yo, siempre yo, y al ultimo yo.

Paul is also survived by his beloved canine companion BJ.

Paul was born and raised in El Paso, Texas where he developed his love for sports, particularly basketball. Paul attended St. Pius Parochial School and Cathedral High School where he played both football and basketball; he was named to the all city football team his senior year as a defensive back. He earned a degree in mathematics from Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas, TX; upon graduation, Paul returned home to El Paso to begin his 30 year career in teaching math and coaching.

Paul’s teaching career began at Montwood High School in 1994. He then moved on to Americas High School in 1998. It was here in 2002 that he would find his greatest legacy as the girls head varsity basketball coach. He led his teams to 4 district championships, 4 bi-district championships, an area championship, a regional championship and a sweet 16 appearance in the state playoffs. He was the El Paso Times Coach of the Year in 2006. He took a break from coaching in 2013 and returned to coaching at Socorro High School where he was currently the varsity boys assistant basketball coach.

Paul loved playing golf and poker with his friends. He was a loyal SMU football and basketball fan, and he loved watching his Miami Dolphins with his dad on Sundays at their favorite watering hole. If he wasn’t coaching or teaching, you would find him with his dog BJ. Paul was a huge fan of the Peanuts comic strip, and his favorite character of all time was Snoopy. Paul was a movie buff – especially movies from the 80s and 90s; he could recite line after line of various movies from those 2 decades. He had plenty of charisma and a sharp dry sense of humor; he would easily find the humorous side of almost any situation.

It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Victor Hugo Gonzalez, a beloved father, brother, and friend, who left us on January 26, 2025, at the age of 51. Victor was a man of great passion, resilience, and warmth. He lived his life with enthusiasm, whether it was through his love of running—where he proudly completed several marathons—or through the music that moved his soul. A devoted fan of Widespread Panic and The Grateful Dead, Victor found joy and community in their music, attending countless concerts and embracing the spirit of togetherness that they inspired. Professionally, Victor was a dedicated and accomplished electrician, whose hard work and expertise led him to become the Director of Operations for Check Electric in Naples, Florida. His leadership, work ethic, and commitment to excellence earned him the admiration and respect of his colleagues. Above all, Victor was a loving father, brother, and friend. He is survived by his son, Hugo Gonzalez; his sisters, Laura, Lulu, and Maribel; and his brothers, Javier and Juan. His presence, joy for life, and kindness will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Victor’s legacy is one of perseverance, love, and an unwavering zest for life. Though his time with us was far too short, his memory will live on in the hearts of those he touched. A celebration of his life is planned for February 15, 2025, from 12 pm – 3 pm, at San Jose Funeral Home (Pelicano Dr.), where friends and family can gather to honor and remember him in the way he would have wanted—sharing stories, laughter, and of course, music.

Rest in peace, Victor. Keep on running, and may the music never stop.

Frank Romero Jr.

15 November 1937 - 27 January 2025

Frank Romero, 87, died peacefully and prayerfully at his home surrounded by his wife and children on Monday, 27 January 2025.

He was born on 15 November 1937 to Frank Sr. and Armida Romero (Calderon) in Benson, Arizona, where he spent his childhood and teenage years.

He joined the Navy in 1956 and served briefly until honorably discharged. Following his brief military service, he attended the University of Arizona, where he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration.

Dad was manager at the Kress department store in Nogales, Arizona where he began dating our mother, Georgia Ann Ramos. Mom and dad began their 62 years of sacramental marriage on 9 June 1962 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Nogales. In 1976, Dad began a successful career as a Certified Life Underwriter for New York Life Insurance Company. He became a Million Dollar Round Table agent, earning many sales awards along the way. Dad retired in 2000 to enjoy his home and growing family.

In 2012, Dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. His faith in God, zest for life, and many prayers pulled him through surgery and a long recovery. At the time, his surgeon told dad he could give him five more years. More than a dozen years later, dad lived to dance with his youngest daughter at her wedding, to see his youngest son get married and graduate with a Doctorate degree in Theology, to witness his oldest son retire as an Air Force colonel, to live many more happy years at home with oldest daughter, Lisa, to witness the birth of two more grandsons, and to enjoy many other blessings and graces. God is good!

A devout Roman Catholic, Dad was always involved in his local parish as school board president, Scout pack leader, music minister, and as financial assistant to the bishop and various pastors in the Diocese of El Paso. Dad was also a member of the Open Arms Catholic Charismatic Community for many years. As a testament to his faith, he worked extremely hard so that all his children could attend Catholic schools. Despite the many things dad did to provide for us, too numerous to list, his greatest gift to us and his grandchildren is his faith in Jesus Christ as expressed in the teachings and traditions of the Roman Catholic Church. Thank you, Dad!

Frank is survived by his wife, Georgia Ann Romero and his children, René Francisco Romero (and wife Sharmin Romero) of Kerrville, Texas; Ana Lisa Romero of El Paso, Texas; Felice Gabrielle Ketterer (and husband Christopher Ketterer) of Tomball, Texas; and Michael Anthony Romero (and wife Angela Romero) of Spring Branch, Texas; five grandchildren, Ben Francisco Romero, Matthew René Romero, and Elena Faith Romero of Kerrville, Texas and Liam Douglas Ketterer and Daniel Christopher Ketterer of Tomball, Texas; and two sisters, Virginia Padia (and husband Paul Padia-deceased) of Denton, Texas, and Barbara Adric (and husband Uwe Adric) of Sierra Vista, Arizona.

In lieu of flowers, please make a special donation to the Catholic parish of your choice or to MD Anderson Cancer Center. ( https://www.mdanderson.org/donors-volunteers/donate.html )

Most of all, when you think of Frank Romero, say a prayer for him to achieve the holiness necessary to enter heaven in God’s good time. Thank you.

Ricardo Cazares Valencia

August 25, 1942 - January 10, 2025

New Paragraph

Ricardo Cazares Valencia was born August 25th to Luciana Cazares Valencia and Guillermo Cazares in what was then, the dusty little town of Galeana, Chihuahua, Mexico where there were more horses than cars in 1942, the year of his birth. As a boy, he would rather be out riding his horse or shooting bottles than attend class. If his mother found him ditching, she would grab him by his ear and take him to school. Although he was deaf in his later years, he never lost his knack for recounting adventures that began after his mother's death when he was 14 years old. He vividly remembered the train he took and jumped off in different parts of the country to find work, ending up in Mazatlan, hungry and eager to work. Adventures throughout his youth such as camping with another adventurer in the Sierra Nevada mountains with no money in his pocket and not being able to sleep with the howling of wolves and sounds of animals in the brush; or sleeping under the stars in California while working on the railroad tracks. The darkness of his temper, that those close to him knew all too well, was toned down by age but not enough. The sharpness of his mind allowed him to use his phone as his computer to do research on herbs and their use. His tenacity was evident until the end where his strong will kept him alive a little longer than his body was prepared for. He passed away January 10, 2025, in his home in Canutillo, Texas.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Luciana Cazares Valencia; his father, Guillermo Cazares; his ex-wife and mother of his children Rosario Rodriguez; his wife, Maria Guadalupe Cazares; and his son, Andres Cazares.
He leaves behind five children: Luciana Batista, Maria R Cazares, Ricardo Cazares, Jesus M Cazares, and Cynthia Cazares.
Twenty-one grandchildren: Martin Cazares, Abel Macias, Vanessa Lozano, Gabriel Lozano, Valeria Wayne, Daniel Lozano, Amanda Lozano, Andrea Lozano, Robert Macias Jr., Crystal M Medina, Celeste J Limon, Edward J Limon, Ale Cazares, Daisy Limon, Analise Cazares, April Limon, Leonardo M Cazares, Marissa Rangel, Cassandra N Cazares, Alondra Olmeda, and Maximiliano J Cazares.
Twenty-four great grandchildren: James E Cazares, Anthony C Roderick, Asia R Roderick, Jacob I Cazares, Hailey Roderick, Kylev Almare, Joseph M Cazares, Alexander Lozano, Michael D Rollins III, Anthony Fret III, Adam Lozano, Mia Limon, Martin R Cazares Jr, Sebastian Medina, Abrina J Medina, Addison F Medina, Emerald R Medina, Dominic R G Wayne, Isabel R Lozano, Helios Rangel, Bronson K Spears Jr, Leilah Limon, Leanne Limon, and Sofia B Wayne. Maria Rose Cazares (818)749-1237.

Visitation to be held Saturday, January 25, 2025, at San Jose Funeral Home Central, from 11 AM to 3 PM; with a Vigil Service at 11:30 AM. Interment to be held Monday, January 27, 2025, at Memorial Pines Cemetery at 9 AM. For information, please call

Lorenza fue una madre, abuela y bisabuela cariñosa, con un legado que perdurará en los corazones de sus seis nietos—JoAnna Briseño, Rolando Parra, Irianni Apodaca, Isaac López, Melanie López y Efrén López—y sus bisnietos, Fernando Briseño III, Arian Briseño, y Rolando Parra III.

Después de 54 años de matrimonio, su vínculo era de amor duradero, respeto mutuo y respeto inquebrantable. A lo largo de su matrimonio, Lorenza y Jorge compartieron innumerables momentos de alegría apoyándose mutuamente en cada desafío de triunfo. Su historia de amor fue un ejemplo de compromiso, resiliencia y profundo cariño. Formaron una familia, cultivaron amistades y crearon un hogar que era un santuario de calidez y amor.

Quienes conocieron a Lorenza hablan a menudo de su bondad inquebrantable, su espíritu generoso y su profunda devoción hacia su familia. Tenía una capacidad innata para nutrir y cuidar a quienes la rodeaban. La cocina era su lenguaje de amor y ponía todo su corazón en preparar comidas para sus seres queridos, con especial predilección por las enchiladas hechas con abundante cebolla. Su canción favorita, "Mirando Al Cielo" de Roberto Tapia, fue un reflejo de la profunda conexión que sentía tanto con su familia como con el mundo que la rodeaba.

La vida de Lorenza estuvo marcada por una resiliencia que la ayudó a superar muchos desafíos, particularmente sus problemas de salud. Enfrentó cada obstáculo con la fuerza y el coraje de una guerrera, siempre poniendo a su familia en primer lugar, sin importar las dificultades.

Su legado es de amor incondicional, fortaleza ante la adversidad y un corazón que nunca vaciló en su dedicación a sus seres queridos. Será recordada para siempre por la luz que trajo a las vidas de todas las personas a las que tocó, y su memoria seguirá inspirando a todos los que la conocieron.

Edward B. Savage

June 1, 1982 - January 2, 2025

A celebration of Edward’s life will be held on January 17th, 2025, at San Jose Funeral Home (10950 Pellicano Dr, El Paso, Texas 79935) from 4-8pm (visitation, Rosary at 7pm) and a funeral mass will be held on January 18th, 2025 at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church at 10am (2709 Alabama St, El Paso, Texas 79930). In lieu of flowers, Edward would prefer laughter (more bad dad jokes), a good roast, and maybe a charcuterie board —because who doesn’t love some good meat and cheese?

Obituary for Edward Savage

It is with deep sadness that we announce the untimely passing of Edward (Eduardo, Lalo, Eddie) B. Savage, a beloved father, son, brother, and friend, who left us far too soon on January 2nd, 2025, at the young age of 42.

Born on June 1, 1982, to Benjamin and Elizabeth Savage, in El Paso, Texas, Edward was a bright light in the lives of all who knew him. Passionate and determined, he had a heart full of kindness, an adventurous spirit, and a deep sense of loyalty. Whether he was pursuing his hobbies (art, fishing, music), standing behind his loved ones, or embarking on new experiences, Edward gave everything with a sincerity and enthusiasm rivaled by few.

Edward lived a life filled with love, laughter, and an impressive collection of sleeveless band shirts that he insisted were ‘vintage.’ He was known for his unmatched ability to make dad jokes at the worst possible times and for his legendary punk rock mohawk and “old-timey” mustache at family and friend gatherings.

In his short time with us, Edward made a difference in ways that words cannot fully capture. He was a man of God, a friend to all, a brother who always had your back, a son who filled his family’s lives with joy, and, most importantly, a father whose love was without limits. His rock and roll spirit will continue to inspire all who had the distinct pleasure of knowing him.

Edward is survived by his three beautiful children, Emma, Benjamin, and Scarlett, his former spouse, Rebecca, his father, Benjamin Savage, his siblings, Elizabeth Savage Rodriguez (Donato) and Omar Savage (Ashley), and numerous extended family members, friends, and loved ones, including his aunt and second mom, Veronica Villegas. He was preceded in death by his mother, Elizabeth Villegas Savage, his grandparents, David and Rafaela Villegas, and his uncle, Osvaldo Villegas.

Though his time with us was brief, Edward's memory will live on forever in our hearts and he is forever entrusted into God’s care. May he rest in peace with his eternal Father and Savior.

Hector Torres, age 63, went to his eternal reward on December 30, 2024. He was born in El Paso, Texas on March 19, 1961 to parents Oscar and Frances Torres. He attended Riverside High School and received his Bachelor's Degree from UTEP in 1986. He worked for United Technologies and retired from Lear Corporation.

He was an avid gardener and loved going to local nurseries to add to his plant collection. Over the years he had many pet dogs that he diligently cared for and his favorites, perhaps, were the last Cavelier's he had, Gaius and Brutus. Attending small town festivals and folk art exhibits were his passion with excursions to the Silver City Apple Festival (when they had it), Ruidoso Beerfest, Las Artistas, and others. He loved living in El Paso and was often found at community events like Art in the Park, Chalk-a-Block, and the Greek Festival. This love of community extended to regularly attending the summer Bazaars of San Ignacio, and St. Anthony Seminary.

Most of all, however, he enjoyed life in Kern Place at the home that he shared with Andrew Gallardo.

He is survived by his mother Frances Torres, his sisters Norma Esquivel (Luis Esquivel) and Linda Higgs (Glenn Higgs), his brother Oscar Torres, and by nieces and nephews, Amanda, Richard, Isaiah, Elijah, Cheyenne, Joseph, Shelby and aunts and uncles Tony Torres, Joe Torres, Mary Valenzuela, and Aurora Corral.

Tony Sanchez

Tony Sanchez

July 10, 1966 - December 26, 2024

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, January 8, 2024 at San Jose Funeral Home East, from 10:00 am to 1:30 pm with a prayer service at 12 Noon with final resting place at Mount Carmel Cemetery.

Tony Sanchez, age 58 of El Paso, Texas, passed from this earthly life on December 26, 2024. Tony was born to Antonio & Lucy Sanchez in Portales, New Mexico on July 10, 1966. From a child, Tony enjoyed working and held various jobs from gardening and mowing for neighbors, delivering newspapers, and maintenance. At age 15, he started working for McDonald's as a dish washer/cook and was promoted to restaurant manager for 4 years. Although Tony won a university scholarship for his artistic talents, he set aside the opportunity to become a commercial artist for a much higher calling. After ten years of cherished adventures that involved extensive traveling, holding glorious gospel services, plus building and maintaining church convention grounds as a minister-worker, he became disillusioned with what God revealed to him was an inadequate doctrinal system. Tony felt God leading him to resign from his full-time missionary ministry of living by faith while he remained a member of that church. After reentering the job market, Tony worked as a certified baker for Golden Corral Restaurant, and then as a furniture sales representative for over 5 years. In 2001, Tony married the love of his life and faithful lifelong companion, Lisette. Shortly after marriage, Tony & Lisette started and managed their own successful house-cleaning business for ten years, building a steady, loyal, and happy cliental. Lisette shared Tony’s love for the Lord and desire to labor in his vineyard. As they sought God’s will for their lives, he led them on a quest for the church they read about in the New Testament, eventually finding what Tony lovingly called “the true Church of God.” In 2007, God called Tony and Lisette to begin laboring for souls in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. One day as he was seeking God for a job and direction in their new hometown of El Paso, he was inspired by a license plate that said “By Faith” and felt God was calling them to live by faith. In the 17 years that followed, they gave themselves tirelessly to reach souls there with the love of Christ. That led to many wonderful adventures, miracles, and the salvation of many souls. While they also faced their share of disappointments and witnessed many who came and went through the years, they rejoiced in the wonderful fellowship they had with the faithful few to whom they ministered, as well as the saints of God in the USA and Honduras. Many witnessed the joy of his worship and heard his rejoicing at being saved, sanctified, and free from Babylon. Tony and Lisette were profoundly grateful for those who lovingly supported them in so many ways. Tony leaves behind his loving wife of 23 years, Lisette, mother Lucy, and sisters Rose, Estella, and Jessica. He also leaves behind countless people in Ciudad Juárez into whose heart he sowed the seed of the Gospel. He will be especially missed by the congregation there that he dearly loved and for whom he labored.

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, January 8, 2024 at San Jose Funeral Home East, from 10:00 am to 1:30 pm with a prayer service at 12 Noon with final resting place at Mount Carmel Cemetery.

Warming hands to rest.

He only takes the best.

Teodoro “Tirro” Valenzuela passed away on Monday, November 4, 2024, in his home, surrounded by his loving family. He was 91. Teodoro was born in Zacatecas, Mexico on July 28, 1933, to his parents, Teodoro Valenzuela Ruiz and Celia Valenzuela de Lopez. Teodoro had three brothers, Oscar, Horacio and Ricardo, and a sister, Emma. His parents and siblings preceded him in death. Teodoro married Guadalupe Gomez on October 22, 1958. They were married for 66 years; she survives him in the family home. Teodoro is also survived by his stepson Manuel, and his children Fransisco & Anna Ruiz, Victor (Socorro), Celia (David), Gerardo, Leticia, Yolie (Rick), Luis (Diana). In addition, he is survived by 28 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-granddaughter. Teodoro is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews who live in California, Texas, and Mexico. He lived in Oakland, CA before moving to El Paso, TX. Teodoro worked in the service industry and rarely took a day off. His work ethic was unmatched, and at times held two jobs to provide for his family. He worked for over 30 years at the Plaza Hotel, in addition to the Airport Hilton Hotel, the Airport Holiday Inn, and the Paso Del Norte Hotel. After retiring from the Paso Del Norte Hotel, he worked at his son Victor’s mechanic shop picking up and delivering parts and performing jobs around the shop with a smile on his face. The only job Teodoro was more passionate about was his role as a grandfather and father to his children. Teodoro always remembered everyone's Birthday and you could always count on a phone call from him to wish you Happy Birthday. Teodoro became a naturalized citizen and spoke of how proud he felt when he placed his hand over his heart and recited the Pledge of Allegiance. Teodoro loved music and loved to play the guitar and sing. He was also a talented athlete, playing semi-professional baseball in Juarez, Mexico. He was an avid lifelong fan of baseball, meeting his tokayo, Fernando Valenzuela of the LA Dodgers. He proudly displayed his signed baseball and photograph of he and Fernando in his bedroom. It was fitting that our beloved Father was able to watch his beloved Dodgers win the World Series before his death. He was a humble and hardworking man, with a gentle disposition who was loved by so many. He rarely complained, even when he had a good reason to. His family will miss him forever, and the hole left by his absence will never be filled. Funeral services have been entrusted to San Jose Funeral Home, 10950 Pellicano Dr. Public viewing will take place on Thursday, November 14, 2024, from 4:00 pm- 8:00 pm, with the Holy Rosary being recited at 7:00 pm.

The biggest loves of her life were Justin Beiber and her huskies, Prince and Scooby. Her family meant everything to her, and she was most proud of being Auntie Haley.

Visitation October 26, 2024

Visitation will be Saturday, October 26, 2024 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at San Jose Funeral Home-East, 10950 Pellicano Dr., 10950 Pellicano Dr., 79935 (915) 590-8700.

Mom was a God loving woman who lived for her kids, and later in life she lived for her grandchildren as well. Her cancer battle started when we found out mom only had a 3% chance of surviving because her cancer was late in the stages and had rare blood clots that made her case extremely dangerous. She went to MD Anderson and we all hoped we would see her again and not only did she survive she thrived like none of us ever imagined and she decided her 2nd life was for Jehovah. She had already lived for herself and it got her nowhere she wanted to be. She decided that she was going to live Jehovahs' way, so that's what she did. Soon after she got approved for door to door service she would go and it gave her a glow to her of happiness. It would make her feel enthralled with Jehovah's spirit, and it made her feel worthy. Spending time with her kids was another thing she always loved. Anytime we would have a family get together she was always surrounded by love. She was always the star of the show. Anyone that you talk to about her has a story about how she cared about her service and her love for Jehovah and his people. Or she made you laugh telling you stories about her crazy children, but it was obvious that she was a woman who was filled with love and that was loved by many. Her heart with was filled with so much love and determination that even though she was in the throes of cancer and chemo she was still helping her 5 adult children in one way or another, it didn't stop her even when she wanted to get her citizenship. We can never forget the day she actually graduated and the look of accomplishment, and the pride for herself that she passed it. These are the stories that tell you who Esther Thomas was. She is survived by, her 5 children Sabrina Lewis, Tracy Thomas, Jasmine Thomas, Jamie Thomas, and James Thomas JR AND 13 grandchildren. She is also survived by her family members Lidia Davis, Gloria Montellano, Sylvia Ford, Luis Montellano, Laco Montellano, David Montellano, Rain Davis, Bryant Berryman, Brandi Johnson, Philip Berryman, Marissa Varela, David Davis.

Visitation will be Saturday, October 26, 2024 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at San Jose Funeral Home-East, 10950 Pellicano Dr., 10950 Pellicano Dr., 79935 (915) 590-8700.
