Alonzo Padilla was born and raised in Del Rio, Texas. He was the son of Nelda Padilla. His mother passed away during his early childhood and thereafter he was adopted by his loving maternal grandparents, Pablo and Ofilia Padilla. Alonzo was a proud graduate of San Felipe High School Class of 1963. He left Del Rio for a period and lived in California working different labor jobs including agriculture work harvesting crops such as peaches and nectarines. His love for Texas and his dear family brought him back to Del Rio wherein he met and married his loving wife, Hilda Rocha Padilla. Alonzo worked many years with the Falstaff Brewing Company and with Schlitz Brewing Company as a salesman throughout Del Rio and surrounding communities. Later in life, he provided for his family through his employment with the San Felipe Del Rio Consolidated Independent School District as a school Bus Driver for 20 years busing students to and from school and to extra-curricular activities.

They enjoyed keeping up this Mexican tradition, as well as, keeping in touch with many friends and family during their deliveries of the freshly cooked tamales. Alonzo also enjoyed family events such as family BBQs, Quinceañeras, weddings, or any community dance event especially when affiliated with his San Felipe Exes organization, of which he was a member for many years. Prior to his illness, he was an active member supporting the organization with attending parades, dances, and fundraising activities sponsored by the San Felipe Exes. His family recalls the deep sadness he felt when he would learn about the passing of one of his fellow classmates or a San Felipe Ex member. A true connection with the loving spirit he had for the barrio where he came from.

The last years of Alonzo's life were lived in San Antonio, Texas where he was able to be close to his daughter, Robina and her family, who together made certain Alonzo was cared for to receive the best medical care and attention during his illness and final years.

Stephanie (Stevie) Lynn Stidham Heinrich, 56, of Humble, Texas, passed away peacefully in the comfort of her beautiful home on March 24, 2026.

Stevie was born in Del Rio, Texas, to Burt and Debbie Stidham. She had a wonderful childhood and was raised in a Christian home where faith and family was a priority. Her Del Rio roots defined the person she went on to be, and we all know Del Rio held a special place in her heart—and Del Rio loved her right back. Stevie attended Del Rio High School and went on to graduate from Texas State University (formerly Southwest Texas State), where she met her husband, Chris. It was love at first sight. Chris and Stevie were married for 31 years and lived in Humble, where they raised their three amazing sons, who were her pride and joy. Her boys were the center of her world. She was their number one fan and self-proclaimed personal assistant. One of her greatest joys was watching her sons succeed in life. She thought her boys hung the moon, and they knew it.

To know Stevie was to love her. She never stepped out of the house without looking her best—hair curled, heels on, nails painted, jewels around her neck, and always the biggest smile on her face. She was a bright light everywhere she went. She kept the same standards of excellence across the board, including in her home, which was an extension of her. A candle was always lit, the beds were always made, and her flowerbeds were always immaculate. Stevie loved her home and poured her heart into it daily. She loved watching shows with Chris at night and boating with him and the dogs on sunny days. Her favorite days were when her house was full and her boys were home. She was the hostess with the mostest and always had a charcuterie board, along with her boys’ favorite snacks and drinks, prepared to greet them the moment they walked through the door. Motherhood was her greatest joy.

She also proudly enjoyed the finer things in life, like keeping up with her tan, her nails, her hair, and she never turned down a good massage. A true girly girl through and through.

Stevie had a gift for making people feel heard, valued, and cared for. Her phone calls and long conversations will be deeply missed by many. She always picked up on the first ring and was an amazing listener and true friend. Life will not be the same without her.

She is survived by her loving husband, Chris Heinrich; her sons, Justin, Jackson, and Jett Heinrich; her sister, Lara Kusenberger and husband Jacob; her brother, Jason Stidham and wife Ashley; her brother, Russell Stidham; her in-laws, Mark and Starleen Heinrich and their children, Matt Heinrich and wife Laura, and Kevin Heinrich and wife Cathe; her aunts, Carolynell Wardle, Ernestine Ricks, and Janice Foster; and many nieces and nephews who adored her. She was preceded in death by her parents, Burt and Debbie Stidham, whom she adored and missed dearly.

Stevie will be deeply missed, forever cherished, and always remembered for the joy she brought into the lives of those around her.

Psalm 91: “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”

Gentlemen with the Honor of Pallbearers are Chris Heinrich, Justin Heinrich, Jackson Heinrich, Jett Heinrich, Jason Stidham, Russell Stidham, Matt Heinrich, and Kevin Heinrich.

Funeral services are being held in Humble, Texas.
