Alejandro Zamora Sr.

He was born to Gregorio Zamora Sr. and Elvira Rios on November 26, 1925 in Peñitas, Texas. Alejandro was his family’s long-life hero. He served in the United States Army during WW2. Alejandro loved the great outdoors. He loved hunting, fishing, boating, dancing, site-seeing especially the Grand Canyon and Sedona, Arizona. He was also a big advocate of a good education for all his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. But, most of all he loved spending his time with his lovely wife, Ninfa, and his five children. He had great love and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and attended St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in Peñitas his entire life.

Alejandro was preceded in death by Ninfa G. Zamora, his loving wife of 69 years.
