Obituario de María Carmen Orozco

Maria Carmen Orozco, de 57 años, de Dayton, Texas, falleció pacíficamente el 14 de enero de 2026 en Houston, Texas. Nació el 23 de julio de 1968 en Michoacán, México, hija de Miguel Orozco y Refugio Delgado.

María fue miembro devota de la Iglesia Católica de la Inmaculada Concepción en Liberty. Era conocida por su profunda fe, su espíritu bondadoso y la alegría que aportaba a quienes la rodeaban. A María le encantaba coser, bordar y hacer punto de cruz, creando obras preciosas llenas de cuidado y detalle. Tenía una personalidad animada y divertida: disfrutaba bailar, jugar al volleyball y compartir su pasión por la cocina con los demás. Su ensalada de pollo especial era una de las favoritas de sus amigos y familiares.

María también valoraba mucho sus viajes de regreso a México, donde reconectó con sus raíces y su familia. Se sentía muy orgullosa de mantener una casa hermosa, y su amor por la limpieza era bien conocido por todos los que la conocían — era realmente una excelente ama de casa.

Maria se mudó a Dayton hace 29 años, donde construyó una vida amorosa rodeada de familia y amigos. Le precedieron en la muerte sus abuelos Rosario Mendoza, Marciano Orozco, Emiliana Barrajas y Epifano Delgado.

Le sobreviven cariñosamente su hija, Fabiola Zavala; sus padres, Refugio Delgado y Miguel Orozco; sus hermanos, José Orozco y Guadalupe Orozco; y sus hermanas, Margarita Villegas, Berta Reyes, Irma Hernández, María Soria, Socorro Cisneros y Yolanda Loma. También deja atrás a muchos, sobrinos y amigos que echarán profundamente de menos su cálido corazón y espíritu generoso.

Se celebrará una visita en la funeraria Pace Stancil, Dayton, el lunes 19 de enero de 2026 de 17:00 a 20:00, con un rosario recitado a las 19:00. El servicio funerario se celebrará el martes 20 de enero de 2026 a las 10:00 a.m. en la Iglesia Católica de la Inmaculada Concepción en Liberty. El entierro tendrá lugar después en el Cementerio Palms Memorial de Dayton.

La vida de María fue de amor, devoción y bondad — siempre será recordada por su fe, su sonrisa y la forma en que hacía que cada lugar que tocaba fuera un poco más brillante.

A true car enthusiast, Milton had a lifelong love for anything with an engine and wheels. In his younger years, he especially enjoyed riding his jet boat, embracing the thrill and freedom it brought. He also enjoyed playing racquetball and golf and found peace in yardwork and landscaping, taking great pride in creating and maintaining beautiful outdoor spaces.
