Ofelia Salinas Perez

Ofelia Salinas Perez, a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother, peacefully passed away at the age of 88 on January 21, 2024, in Pearsall, Texas. She was a kind-hearted woman, known for her unwavering devotion to her family and her strong faith in God. Her absence will be deeply mourned by all who knew and loved her.

Born on October 26, 1935, in Pearsall, Texas, growing up in a modest household, she valued the importance of hard work and family. Ofelia dedicated her years to caring for her family, and her occupation as a housekeeper showcased her exceptional work ethic. She found joy in serving others, ensuring that their homes were clean and welcoming. Despite the demanding nature of her job, Ofelia remained steadfast and took immense pride in her work.

Outside of her professional life, Ofelia found solace in her family and the close-knit community of Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church. Her faith played a significant role in her life, providing her with strength, comfort, and guidance. She valued her time spent at church involved in several Church organizations, forming lasting friendships and sharing in the love and grace of God.

Ofelia possessed a genuine love for her daughters, Irma, Brenda, and Lenora who were her constant companions and unwavering source of support. They shared a special bond, always finding joy in simple pleasures such as going shopping for shoes and self-pampering together. Ofelia's immense love and care for her daughters were evident in everything she did.

When she wasn't spending time with her family, Ofelia enjoyed cooking and was particularly skilled at making tortillas. Her culinary talents brought people together, and her delicious meals were the centerpiece of countless family gatherings. She delighted in the smiles and satisfied bellies of her loved ones.
