Dora V. Mendez

Dora Vargas Mendez, “Meme”, passed away peacefully on August 18, 2018 at the tender age of 90 years young. Meme, was born in San Antonio on December 5, 1927. Meme had a long and fulfilling life where she worked as a seamstress and later as a supervisor at Miller Curtain Company for 36 years. She is preceded in death by her mother, Victoria H. Vargas, who raised Meme to be spunky and resilient. Though Meme was soft spoken and humble, she took great pride in her family. She raised two daughters, Valerie (Larry) and Sandra, who went on to pursue higher education and service their communities as health professionals. Her daughters instilled Meme’s work ethic to their children, Oscar (Jessica), Brandon (Claire), Andrea, and Evita where they all continue to accomplish and serve others with the same humbleness as their grandmother Meme. Meme’s spirit will continue to be a sage influence on her great grandchildren to Jack and Amelia. The family of Mrs. Mendez wishes to extend our sincere thanks to Dorthey, Molly, Maritza, and Signal hospice staff.

Funeral services will be held Friday, August 24, 2018 at Roy Akers Funeral Home, 515 N. Main Ave at 11:30 a.m., with interment to follow at San Fernando II.
