Cynthia Ann Salazar

On July 6, 2020, Cynthia Ann Salazar went to her Heavenly Home to be with her Lord and her Heavenly Family. She was born in Loraine, Texas on December 19, 1966 to Jesus "Chuy" and Petra DeHoyos Martinez. Cynthia was a strong woman of faith. She put her faith and family first in her life. She was a wonderful and loving wife, mother, sister and daughter. She would go to the end of all measurers to help anyone. Cynthia enjoyed taking care of her husband and her father no matter the distance or time of day. Between the two, she would always manage both homes. She loved to cook for everyone, fish. shop and clean (but more on the phone than clean). Putting on her makeup and nails were a must.

She was a communicant of St. Ascension Catholic Church in Bastrop, Texas and was always praying, had rosaries everywhere, scapulars and blessed candles for anyone who was in need. She was extremely friendly and would literally give the shirt off her back to help anyone. She loved to listen and dance to Tejano and Country music.
