Lupe married her husband Paul on February 10, 1952. They were stationed at many Army bases throughout the United States before settling back in their hometown of Houston, Texas after Paul’s retirement from the US Army.

Lupe was a devoted daughter to both her parents. When her mother could no longer care for herself, Lupe took her mother into her home and cared for her until her mother’s death at 101.

Lupe was a loving mother who was always there if her children needed her. She also had many extended family members who she was devoted to and who could count on her in time of need. If there was a family gathering, Lupe would be one of the first to arrive and the last to leave.

A funeral mass will be held at St. Theresa Catholic Church in Sugar Land, Texas on September 7th, at 11:00 A.M. Lupe will be laid to rest beside her husband at Forest Park Cemetery- Westheimer.
