In Loving Memory
Andrea Estraca Ramirez
November 7, 1951 - March 7, 2026

It is with broken hearts that feel impossibly shattered and profound sorrow as the Ramirez and Estraca Families share the passing of their beloved Andrea Estraca Ramirez, who at the loving age of 74, peacefully fell asleep on March 7, 2026. Though the pain of her passing is deep and the tears fall endlessly from those who loved her most, the family finds comfort in the precious promise given by Jehovah, that those who have fallen asleep in death will one day awaken again in the promised Paradise on earth. Until that beautiful day comes, the memory of Andrea will live on as a gentle light within the hearts of her family, her friends, and all who had the blessing of knowing her.

Andrea was born on November 7, 1951, in the humble community of Robstown, Texas; as she was the cherished and beloved daughter of Roberto Estraca and Beatrice Pena Estraca, who lovingly raised her with strong values, compassion, and a heart devoted to family. From the earliest days of her life, Andrea carried within her a quiet kindness and warmth that naturally drew people to her. Those who knew Andrea often described her as someone who possessed a gentle spirit, and someone whose smile could brighten even the darkest of days. Andrea was a devoted servant of Jehovah as she faithfully attended the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Robstown; where her faith was not merely something she spoke about, it was also something she lived every day. She believed deeply in the promises found in the Scriptures, particularly the hope of the resurrection and the beautiful future Jehovah has promised for mankind. Andrea found great comfort and strength in those promises, and she often shared that comfort with others who were going through difficult times. Andrea’s faith guided her actions, her kindness, and the way she treated others, with patience, love, humility, and compassion. Andrea dedicated her professional life for over twenty-five years, caring for others as an EKG Technician in the medical field; where her work was more than just a career, it was an extension of the caring heart she possessed. Patients often remembered Andrea not only for her professionalism, but for the calm reassurance she provided during moments when they felt frightened or uncertain. She had a way of speaking gently, offering comforting words, and making others feel safe and cared for. When she was not working, Andrea enjoyed life’s simple joys, where she loved going shopping, especially when it meant finding something special for her family or grandchildren. She had a creative spirit and enjoyed making arts and crafts, often turning simple materials into beautiful expressions of love that she would give to those she cherished. However, above all the things that brought Andrea happiness, nothing filled her heart more than the time she spent with her family. Andrea was a woman whose love for her family knew no limits, as she carried the sacred roles of daughter, wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and great-grandmother with grace and devotion. She was the type of person who always placed the needs of others before her own and her home was often filled with warmth, laughter, and the comforting feeling that you were exactly where you were meant to be. Andrea’s grandchildren held a very special place in her heart, as they were truly the light of her world. Andrea’s face would often glow with pride whenever she spoke about them, and she treasured every moment she was able to spend with them, whether it was sharing stories, offering gentle guidance, or simply sitting together enjoying the presence of one another. Those moments, though they may seem small, are now cherished memories that will remain forever etched in their hearts.

She was welcomed home into Jehovah’s loving memory and reunited in Paradise once again with her beloved parents, Roberto Estraca and Beatrice Pena Estraca; her dear brother, Joe Estraca; her loving in-laws, Trinidad Ramirez Sr. and Rosa M. Ramirez; and her precious grandson, Damien Ramirez. Though their absence was deeply felt during her lifetime, the promise of reunion gave Andrea strength and hope. Although Andrea’s passing leaves a painful void that words cannot fully describe, her family finds comfort in knowing that she is now resting peacefully in Jehovah’s memory, awaiting the day when His promise of resurrection will be fulfilled.

Andrea leaves behind a legacy of love that will forever remain in the hearts of her devoted husband of fifty-four years, Trinidad M. Ramirez Jr.; her beloved son, Victor Ramirez Sr.; her loving siblings, Roberto (Natalia) Estraca, Manuel (Grace) Estraca, Angie (The Late Steve) Torres, Louisa (Dale) Cunningham, Margaret (Ramiro) Cardenas, and Bea (Jorge) Linares; her sisters-in-law, Delma (Carlos) Guerra, and Diana Estraca; her treasured grandchildren, Victor Ramirez Jr., Erin Ramirez, and Skyler Ramirez. She also leaves behind three cherished great-grandchildren, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended relatives, and many dear friends whose lives were touched by her gentle kindness and sincere love.

Though her voice has grown silent and her presence is no longer felt in the same way, the love she poured into the lives of those around her will continue to echo for generations to come. Andrea’s life was a beautiful reminder that true wealth is not measured by possessions, but by the love we share with others and the faith that carries us through life’s most difficult moments.

The Ramirez Family extends a sincere and heartfelt invitation to all family members, friends, and loved ones to join them as they gather together to mourn, to remember, and to reflect upon the life of their beloved Andrea Estraca Ramirez, as a visitation will be held on Friday, March 13, 2026, from 5:00 PM until 9:00 PM, with a Memorial Talk to be delivered at 7:00 PM, at Ramon Funeral Home, 800 Lincoln Avenue, Robstown, Texas.

During this time, family and friends will come together not only to grieve the loss of Andrea, but also to celebrate the beautiful life she lived and the lasting love she leaves behind. Though tears may fall today and hearts may ache with sorrow, the family holds tightly to the comforting promise found in the Scriptures, that one day soon, Jehovah will wipe away every tear from our eyes, and those who have fallen asleep in death will rise again to life in a peaceful Paradise on earth. Until that glorious day arrives, Andrea Estraca Ramirez will remain forever remembered, forever cherished, and forever loved. Andrea’s life was a blessing, her memory a treasure, and her love a gift that will never fade.

In Loving Memory
Brianna Anessa Cantu Gonzalez
September 14, 1990 - March 5, 2026

It is with shattered hearts and with tears that seem to fall without end, as the Gonzalez and Cantu Families share the heartbreaking passing of Brianna Anessa Cantu Gonzalez, who at the loving age of 35, was called home by Our Heavenly Father on March 5, 2026. The loss of Brianna is one that words struggle to carry, for some souls are simply too beautiful for this world, and their absence leaves a void that time alone cannot heal. Yet in the midst of this overwhelming grief, we hold tightly to the promises of our faith, trusting in the mercy of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who has welcomed Brianna into His eternal kingdom where pain no longer exists and love reigns forever.

Brianna was born on September 14, 1990, in Corpus Christi, Texas; as the cherished and beloved daughter of Baldemar Cantu Jr. and Imelda Davila Cantu, whose love surrounded her throughout her life. Brianna grew up in Corpus Christi where she formed countless memories that would shape the beautiful woman she would become. Although life eventually led Brianna to spend several years away from Orange Grove, her heart never truly left the town that meant so much to her. In time, she found her way back home to the community she loved so deeply. As Brianna returned to Orange Grove that brought her great joy, it also allowed her to reconnect with the place where her roots were planted and where she would continue building a life filled with love, family, and service to others. Brianna was a Catholic who carried her faith quietly yet deeply in her heart, as she believed in compassion, kindness, forgiveness, and the importance of loving one another as Christ loves us. Those who knew Brianna knew that her heart reflected those very teachings, where her life was not measured by material things, but by the love she gave so freely to others and the light she brought into every room she entered. Brianna dedicated many years of her life working as an Office Manager within the oil field industry, where she was admired by her colleagues for her strong work ethic, her leadership, and her ability to handle every challenge with grace and determination. Yet despite the responsibilities of her career, Brianna never allowed work to overshadow what mattered most to her, whether it was her family, her children, or the community she loved so dearly. Brianna possessed a giving heart that seemed to know no limits, as she gave of her time, her compassion, and her energy in ways that left lasting impressions on countless lives. One of the many ways Brianna expressed her generosity, was through her involvement with Orange Grove Little League Baseball board. She served as the boards vice president, and did so proudly. Brianna devoted herself wholeheartedly to the youth of her community, working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that every child had an opportunity to experience the joy, camaraderie, and life lessons that sports provide. For Brianna, it was never about recognition, rather it was always about helping others. Those who knew Brianna also knew that she had a fun-loving and playful spirit, where she enjoyed the simple pleasures of life like shopping, especially browsing endlessly through Amazon for things that might bring joy to her family or brighten someone else’s day; but perhaps one of the things those closest to her will remember most fondly was her ability to tease and lovingly give her husband a hard time, always with that warm smile and mischievous sparkle in her eyes that made everyone laugh. Yet above all else, Brianna’s greatest pride and deepest love was her family. She was a devoted and loving wife, a nurturing and protective mother, a caring daughter, a supportive sister, and a loyal friend, whose heart was especially tender toward children. Brianna had a way of embracing every child she encountered with a mother’s love, making them feel safe, valued, and cherished. Brianna’s children were the center of her world, the reason she woke up every morning determined to give them the very best life possible. Every sacrifice she made, every late night she worked, every ounce of love she poured out, was always for them.

Though the pain of losing Brianna is beyond comprehension, the family finds comfort in believing that when she closed her eyes on earth, she opened them in Heaven to a reunion filled with love beyond our understanding. Brianna goes home to Our Heavenly Father in Heaven as she is reunited once again with her beloved father, Baldemar Cantu Jr., her precious mother, Imelda Davila Cantu, and her dear sister, Monica Lee who preceded her in deeath. One can only imagine the tears of joy that must have filled the gates of Heaven as they embraced her once again after so long apart.

Brianna leaves behind a legacy of love that will continue to live on in the hearts of her loving husband of eight years, Steven Michael Gonzalez; her beloved children, Hunter Gonzalez, Viktory Flores, Iselda Flores, Anthony Flores, Rosalinda Flores, and Christopher Lee; her aunt and uncle who raised her as their own daughter, Sonia (Elias) De La Garza and Eduardo (Priscilla) Fernandez; her godmother, Olivia (The Late Armando) Gonzalez; her siblings, Dulce (Veronica Gaona) Cantu, Gabriela (Joshua) Hernandez, Ashley (Roel) Alaniz and Erica (Arnulfo “Nuffy”) Gonzalez, along with numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and countless friends whose lives were forever touched by her kindness and love.

The Gonzalez Family would humbly and sincerely like to extend a heartfelt invitation to all of their loved ones, friends, and members of the community to join them as they gather together in prayer, remembrance, and love to celebrate the beautiful life of Brianna Anessa Cantu Gonzalez, as a visitation will be held on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, from 5:00 PM until 9:00 PM, with a Holy Rosary to be recited at 7:00 PM that same evening, at Ramon Funeral Home, 800 Lincoln Ave., Robstown, Texas. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10:00 AM on Thursday, March 12, 2026, at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, 204 Dunne Ave., Robstown, Texas. Following the Holy Mass, Brianna will be lovingly escorted to her final place of rest at Memorial Park Cemetery in Robstown, Texas, where she will rest peacefully until the day we are reunited again.

Though the tears fall endlessly today, the family holds tightly to the promise of eternal life through Christ. For in faith we believe that death is not the end, but merely the beginning of a new life in the presence of God. Until that day when we meet again, Brianna will remain forever loved, forever missed, and forever remembered.

In Loving Memory
Melissa Guerrero
September 13, 1990 - March 3, 2026

It is with hearts shattered by unimaginable sorrow and a grief that words can scarcely even begin to describe as the Guerrero Family shares the untimely passing of their beloved Melissa Guerrero, who at the tender age of 35, was called home to be with Our Lord in Heaven on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, surrounded by the love, prayers, and tearful embraces of her family. There are moments in life when the pain of loss is so deep that it leaves the heart searching for answers that may never come. Melissa’s passing has left behind a silence filled with sorrow and many questions that only Heaven itself may understand. Yet even in the depths of such heartbreaking grief, the Guerrero Family clings to the promise of God’s mercy and the faith that our Heavenly Father, in His infinite wisdom and compassion, has gently lifted Melissa from her earthly suffering and welcomed her into eternal peace. Though the pain of losing her feels almost unbearable, the family places their trust in the Lord’s plan, knowing that even when the road before us feels dark and uncertain, God walks beside us, guiding our hearts through sorrow and into the light of hope.

Melissa was born on September 13, 1990, in Corpus Christi, Texas; as the cherished and beloved daughter of Victor Guerrero Jr. and Ricarda Guerrero. From the very beginning of her life, Melissa possessed a spirit that was both strong and tender, as a little girl, she carried within her a heart filled with kindness, compassion, and a quiet determination to stand up for what was right. Those who knew her during those early years remember a young girl whose laughter could brighten a room and whose loyalty to her family and friends knew no limits. Melissa spent most of her life in the close-knit community of Robstown, Texas, where she proudly called home and where she built a life centered around love, family, and dedication to those she held dear. Above all else in this world, Melissa’s greatest pride and deepest joy were her children, as they were the center of her universe, the reason behind every sacrifice she made, and the light that guided her through every challenge she faced in life. Melissa’s love for them was unconditional, unwavering, and immeasurable. Anyone who truly knew Melissa knew that motherhood was the role she treasured most; where she devoted herself wholeheartedly to being present in her children’s lives, always making sure they felt loved, supported, and encouraged. Many within the Robstown community remember seeing Melissa volunteering at her children’s school, Robert Driscoll Elementary, where she was involved in the Parent Involvement programs. Whether it was hanging posters throughout the hallways for upcoming school events, quietly working behind the scenes during school picture days, or helping organize fundraising efforts to support the school, Melissa was always there, giving her time without expecting recognition, simply because she cared. Melissa’s dedication did not stop there, especially when her children were participating in activities, she was there cheering them on with pride. One could often find Melissa sitting in the bleachers at her daughters’ softball games, clapping, encouraging, and celebrating every moment from the wins, the losses, and the lessons learned in between. There were even times Melissa even volunteered her time helping coach in the youth leagues, always wanting to help build confidence in the young players who looked up to her. Melissa believed in lifting others up with her kindness, and in being present for the people she loved. Those who were blessed to know Melissa will forever remember her warm smile, her determined spirit, and the love she carried for her family that could never be questioned.

Today, the family finds comfort in the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ, as their hearts are broken here on earth, they take solace in knowing that Melissa has now entered a place where sorrow and pain no longer exist. The Family finds comfort imagining the beautiful and emotional reunion that must have taken place at the gates of Heaven, as they welcomed Melissa with open arms, and tears of joy as she is once again reunited with her beloved father, Victor Guerrero Jr.; her paternal grandmother, Olivia M. Guerrero; her maternal grandparents, Felipa and Fernando Bersoza; and the father of her son, Carlos Morales who preceded her in death.

Though Melissa has departed from this earthly life far too soon, the love she leaves behind will remain forever, and continue to live on in the hearts of her precious children, Hailey Guerrero, Victor Guerrero III, Krystal Guerrero, and Nayeli Guerrero; her loving mother, Ricarda Guerrero; her beloved sisters, Ester (Guadalupe) Baltierra, Michelle (Albert) Botello, Rachel Guerrero, and Marissa (Gary Rodriguez) Guerrero, as well as her many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, aunts, uncles, extended relatives, and countless friends whose lives were forever touched by her kindness and presence.

The Guerrero Family humbly and sincerely invites all relatives, friends, and members of the community to join them as they gather to remember, to mourn, and to celebrate the beautiful life of their beloved Melissa Guerrero, as a visitation will be held on Tuesday, March 10, 2026 from 10:00 AM until 1:00 PM at Ramon Funeral Home, 800 Lincoln Avenue, Robstown, Texas. A Funeral Service will be held at 1:00 PM on Tuesday, March 10, 2026 at Ramon Funeral Home, 800 Lincoln Avenue, Robstown, Texas. Interment will then follow in St. Anthony’s Cemetery in Robstown, Texas.

The Guerrero Family would also like to express their heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate medical team who cared for Melissa during her final days, and they also extend their deepest thanks to Dr. Davis and Dr. Kugasia, as well as the incredible nurses on the 7th floor ICU unit at Christus Spohn Shoreline Hospital, especially Katie, Hailey, Kaitlynn, and the many others who showed such kindness and dedication.
Your care, attention, and compassion during such a painful time did not go unnoticed. The way you supported Melissa and comforted the family will forever remain in their hearts. Though words can never fully express the gratitude they feel, please know that your efforts brought light into one of the darkest moments of their lives.

The Family would also like to extend their sincere and heartfelt appreciation to Jamie Franco, who served as Melissa’s provider. Jamie was not only a medical professional to Melissa, but also a source of strength, compassion, and reassurance during the most difficult chapters of her life. The Guerrero Family will forever carry a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation for the care, sympathy, and comfort she brought not only to Melissa, but also to her children and loved ones. Your kind-hearted spirit, patience, and unwavering compassion brought moments of healing and peace during the hardest time of her life, and for that the family will remain eternally thankful.

Today, the pain of Melissa’s passing feels overwhelming, as the silence left behind by her absence echoes deeply in the hearts of those who loved her. Yet in the midst of this sorrow, the family holds onto the beautiful memories she leaves behind, in the memories of laughter, silly moments, inside jokes, and the countless small moments that make up a lifetime of love. Though tears now fall freely and hearts feel unbearably heavy, Melissa’s legacy continues through the lives she touched, the children she loved with all her heart, and the kindness she gave so freely to others. “Well done, good and faithful servant… enter into the joy of your Lord.” – Matthew 25:23 May Melissa Guerrero may you rest peacefully in the loving arms of our Lord, where there is no more pain, no more suffering, and where love lasts forever.

In Loving Memory
Maria Ofelia Gonzales
February 28, 1962 - March 3, 2026

It is with the heaviest of hearts, and a sorrow too deep for words to fully express, as the Gonzales Family shares the passing of their beloved Maria Ofelia Gonzales, who at the blessed age of 64, was called home to be with Our Heavenly Father in Heaven on March 3, 2026. Though our hearts ache with a pain that seems almost unbearable, we take comfort in the promises of our faith, knowing that Maria has now entered into eternal rest, where suffering ceases, tears are wiped away, and the loving embrace of God brings everlasting peace.

Maria Ofelia Gonzales was born on February 28, 1962, in the humble town of Robstown, Texas, as she was the cherished and beloved daughter of Santiago Gonzales Jr. and Virginia Felan Gonzales, who lovingly raised her with faith, humility, and a deep devotion to family. From her earliest days, Maria carried within her a spirit that was warm, compassionate, and full of life. Those who knew her understood that her smile had a way of brightening even the darkest of days, and her laughter echoed with a joy that made every gathering feel complete. Maria was a Catholic who held firmly to her faith throughout her life, where she believed deeply in the mercy and love of God, and she trusted in the promise that life does not end at death, but rather continues eternally in the presence of the Lord. In times of hardship and in moments of celebration, Maria turned to her faith as a source of strength, comfort, and guidance. She dedicated more than twenty years of her life as an apartment manager, a role in which she served not only as a professional but often as a compassionate neighbor and trusted friend to those she helped. Maria had a natural gift for connecting with people, and had the rare ability to make others feel seen, valued, and cared for. Something evident with her time spent volunteering with Kids Unlimited, a charitable organization dedicated to serving and fund raising for children and families impacted by Cancer. Whether it was a tenant needing assistance, a friend in need of encouragement, or a stranger who simply needed a kind word, Maria never hesitated to extend her hand and open her heart. Although she began her life in Robstown, Texas, Maria later made Dallas, Texas her home for many years, where she built a life filled with memories, friendships, and countless moments that shaped the beautiful story of who she was. Eventually, she relocated to Lake Jackson, Texas, where she continued to surround herself with the people and experiences that brought her the most joy.

When Maria was not working, she embraced life with enthusiasm and a vibrant spirit that reflected her love for living fully. She enjoyed dancing and never missed an opportunity to step onto the dance floor. The rhythm of disco music often filled her heart with happiness, especially when she danced alongside her beloved sister during family gatherings. Those moments of laughter, music, and togetherness became treasured memories that her family will forever hold dear. Maria also loved traveling and looked forward to the adventure of cruises, where the open sea and the promise of new experiences brought her peace and excitement. Yet even with her love for travel and dancing, nothing in this world meant more to Maria than her family, as her grandchildren were the very light of her life. They were her greatest pride, her deepest joy, and the reason her heart overflowed with love. Maria cherished every moment spent with them, through every laugh shared, every hug exchanged, and every memory created. In their eyes Maria saw hope, and in their presence she felt the truest form of happiness. Maria lived her life as a devoted daughter, a loving mother, a caring sister, a proud grandmother, a joyful great-grandmother, and a loyal friend. Maria’s heart was generous, her spirit was kind, and her presence brought comfort to those who knew her. She possessed a quiet strength and a gentle soul that left a lasting impression on every life she touched.

Though her passing leaves a void that can never truly be filled, we hold tightly to the belief that she has now returned home in the eternal embrace of God and to the loving arms of those who went before her. Maria now reunites once again in Heaven with her beloved parents, Santiago Gonzales Jr. and Virginia Felan Gonzales, who preceded her in death. One can only imagine the moment when the gates of Heaven opened to welcome her, and the joyous reunion that took place as she was embraced once more by the parents who loved her so dearly.

Maria leaves behind to cherish her beautiful and everlasting memories that will continue to live on in the hearts of her loving sons, Albert (Heather) Cuellar, Thomas (Jenn) Cuellar, and Julian “JC” Cuellar; her devoted siblings, Gilberto (Dalia) Gonzalez, Hector (Esther) Gonzalez, Gracie (Gilbert) Gonzalez, Rachel (Joe) Hinojosa, Danny (Lupe) Gonzalez, Rosie (Joe) Esquivel, and Nilda (Rudy Barragan) Gonzalez. Maria’s legacy will continue to live on through her cherished grandchildren, Aliyah, Carlos, Alexis, Victor, Julian, Layla, Camryn, Espi, Elijah, and Isaac; her precious great-grandson, Eliseo, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and countless friends whose lives were blessed by knowing her. Each of them carries within their hearts a memory of Maria’s kindness, her laughter, and the love she so freely gave.

While the sorrow of losing Maria is overwhelming, her family finds comfort in knowing that her love will continue to live on in every story shared, every memory remembered, and every prayer offered in her honor. Though she may no longer walk beside us on this earth, her spirit remains forever present in the hearts of those who loved her.

The Gonzales Family humbly and sincerely invites all relatives and friends to join them as they gather together in prayer, remembrance, and love to honor the beautiful life of Maria Ofelia Gonzales, as a visitation will be held on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, from 10:00 AM until 1:00 PM, with the Holy Rosary to be recited at 11:00 AM, at Ramon Funeral Home, 800 Lincoln Ave, Robstown, Texas. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 1:00 PM on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, 204 Dunne Ave, Robstown, Texas.

As we gather to pray for Maria’s soul and celebrate the life she lived, we ask that all who knew and loved her keep her in their prayers. May the Lord grant her eternal rest, and may perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.

In lieu of flowers, the family humbly requests donations be made to the St. Lukes Foundation, Friends of Nursing in memory of Maria O. Gonzales.

In Loving Memory
Nelda Arellano
June 28, 1980 - February 26, 2026

It is with the deep sorrow, overwhelming grief, and shattered hearts as the Arellano Family shares the passing of their beloved Nelda Arellano, who at the blessed age of 45, was called home by Our Heavenly Father in Heaven on February 26, 2026. Nelda’s passing from this earthly life has left a silence so profound and a sadness so deep that words alone seem unable to fully express the magnitude of the loss felt by all who loved her. There are moments in life that forever change us, as these moments when time seems to stand still, and when the world around us continues moving but our hearts remain frozen in sorrow.

Nelda was born on June 28, 1980 in Corpus Christi, Texas, as she was the beloved daughter of Juan M. Arellano and Delia Trevino Arellano, and from the very beginning of her life she was surrounded by the love of family that would shape the caring and devoted person she would become. Nelda possessed a heart as she was growing up that seemed naturally inclined toward kindness, as she carried within her a gentle nature, a quiet strength, and a sincerity that made others feel comfortable in her presence. She was someone who never needed attention or recognition to show her love, as her kindness was simply part of who she was. Whether through her words, her smile, or her quiet acts of care for others, Nelda made the world around her a little softer and a little brighter. Nelda was a Catholic who carried her faith in God within her heart throughout her life, as her belief in Our Lord provided her with strength, hope, and comfort during life’s challenges. She also believed deeply in the love and mercy of God, and she found peace in knowing that one day she would be welcomed into His eternal kingdom. Nelda dedicated most of her professional life to caring for and educating young children as a private teacher within the early daycare industry. Those who knew Nelda through her work saw firsthand the patience, tenderness, and love she poured into the lives of the children she helped nurture and guide. Nelda understood the importance of those early years in a child’s life and approached her work not simply as a job, but as a calling. Through her gentle guidance, encouragement, and warm heart, Nelda touched the lives of many young children who will forever carry a piece of her kindness with them. Yet above all the roles Nelda held in life, the one that defined her heart the most was the love she carried for her family, as they were the center of her world, the source of her greatest joys, and the reason behind her endless sacrifices. There was nothing Nelda loved more than simply being with them, whether they were laughing together, sharing quiet moments at home, listening to music, and creating memories that would live on forever in their hearts. Nelda often enjoyed the simple and beautiful moments of life, where the comfort of familiar surroundings, the sound of music playing softly, and the laughter of those she loved. Although Nelda’s life was far too short, the love she gave to others was immeasurable; as the legacy she leaves behind is not measured in years, but in the countless lives she touched with her compassion, her patience, and her gentle heart.

Nelda now goes home to Our Heavenly Father in Heaven where she will be reunited once again with her beloved father, Juan M. Arellano, and her dear brother, Roy Arellano Sr., who preceded her in death. One can only imagine the glorious and emotional reunion that must have taken place at the gates of Heaven, as they welcomed her with open arms, tears of joy streaming down their faces as they embraced once again after so many years apart.

Nelda leaves behind to cherish her everlasting memories that will continue to live on in the hearts of her devoted mother, Delia Trevino Arellano; her caring sister, Elma (JB) Ballesteros; her brother, Johnny (Angie) Arellano; her sister-in-law, Alma Arellano; her beloved nieces, Adrianna Arellano and Nicole Arellano; her nephews, Roy Arellano Jr. and Aaron Jacob Arellano; along with numerous other relatives and dear friends whose lives were forever touched by her kindness and love.

Each of them carries within their hearts memories that will never fade, memories of laughter, quiet conversations, shared moments, and the gentle presence of a woman who loved them deeply. Though their hearts feel broken today, they hold tightly to the promise of their faith, the promise that death is not the end, but the beginning of eternal life with God, and one day, by the grace of Our Lord, they will see Nelda again.

The Arellano Family would like to extend a sincere and heartfelt invitation to all of their beloved family members and dear friends to join them as they gather together in faith, love, and remembrance to honor the beautiful life of Nelda Arellano, as a visitation will be held on Thursday, March 12, 2026 from 10:00 AM until 1:00 PM, with a Holy Rosary to be recited at 11:00 AM, at Ramon Funeral Home, 800 Lincoln Avenue, Robstown, Texas. A Funeral Mass celebrating Nelda’s life will be held at 1:00 PM on Thursday, March 12, 2026 at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, 204 Dunne Avenue, Robstown, Texas. Interment will follow at Memorial Park Cemetery in Robstown, Texas, where Nelda will be laid to rest with dignity, love, and the prayers of those who hold her memory close to their hearts.

Though Nelda’s earthly journey has ended, her spirit, her kindness, and the love she shared will continue to live on forever in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. May the angels lead her into Paradise, may the martyrs welcome her into the Holy City, and may she rest in the loving arms of Our Lord until the day when we are reunited again. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.
