Francisca Madrid Lujan

Sadly, our dearest mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Francisca Madrid Lujan, 89, of Odessa, Texas, peacefully passed away at Medical Center Hospital on Tuesday, November 15, 2022, after battling with COPD and heart disease.

Francisca is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Rojelio and Lidia Lujan of Carrollton; a daughter, Flora Butler, of Waco; grandchildren, Rojelio Lujan Jr. of Dallas, Monica Bejaran of Denton, Tracy Sangster of Waco, Tayla Sangster of Dew, Adam Lujan of Odessa, Emilio Lujan of Odessa, Laura Mawire of Richland Hills, Richard Lujan III of San Antonio; 23 great grandchildren and 14 great great-grandchildren; brother, Andy and wife Juanita Madrid of Odessa; sister Antonio Ramirez of Odessa; numerous nephews, nieces, cousins and in-laws.

Francisca was preceded in death by her husband, Ricardo Ornelas Lujan; a daughter, Norma Lujan; three sons, Rodrigo Lujan, Richard Lujan Jr., and Catarino Lujan; her parents, Santiago and Praxedis G. Madrid of Odessa; three sisters, Luz Hernandez of Dallas, Juana Rivas of Colorado and Manuela Gonzales of Colorado; and one brother, Diego Madrid of Odessa.

Francisca was a devout Catholic and was a member of Our Lady of San Juan Catholic Church. Francisca was a guadalupana in the church and the group would take turns cooking and participating in other church activities. In the deepest sense of the word “mother”, Mom was our most precious gift from heaven. She had an unconditional love for all her family. She raised her four children and also took on raising two great-grandsons, which she deeply loved as her own.

Francisca loved vegetable and flower gardening. She took much pride in her beautiful plants, trees and flowers. Her spirit was likewise beautiful. She lighted up a room just by her presence and was a blessing to all.

Francisca will be greatly missed and it is with heavy hearts that we have accepted our loss, but her memory will live forever. A Mass of Christian Burial will be on Monday, November 21, 2002, at 10:00 am at Our Lady of San Juan Catholic Church, 905 Edgeport Drive, Odessa, Texas. Interment to follow at Ector County Cemetery.
