Santos Medina De Luna peacefully passed away October 11, 2022. She was born September 15, 1934 near Raymondville, Texas to Micaela Cisneros Medina and Esteban Medina. She married the love of her life, Raul De Luna, November 5, 1954 and raised six children. Santos was a military wife who took on the responsibilities of both mom and dad while her husband was away serving his country. She was also a stay-at-home mom who was always there when her children came home from school. Santos loved her roles as a housewife, as she was called back then, and as a mother. Two other loves of her life were dancing with her husband and NIOSA.
Santos is survived by her husband of almost 68 years, Raul, and her six children, Delia De Luna Dreiss and husband Martin, Linda Galvez and husband Sal, Jeanie Jensen, Lee De Luna, Ed De Luna and wife Ruby, and Michael De Luna and wife Yolanda. She is also survived by eight grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, two great-great-grandchildren, and sisters-in-law, Beatrice Ahrendt and Flor Gutierrez and husband Hector. In addition to the De Luna family, Santos is survived by five of her ten siblings, Bene Medina, Rita Del Rio, Juanita Guzman and husband Porfirio, Paulita Becerra, and Guadalupe Medina and wife Virginia, and numerous nieces and nephews.
The De Luna family would like to thank the team members of VITAS HealthCare for their special hospice care of Santos. We appreciate everyone who provided her comfort and dignity during her time of need.
It has been said that Santos had an aura about her which radiated warmth that could be felt from a hug or a handshake. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. As her journey on this earth ends, another journey begins with eternal peace and happiness awaiting her arrival in a place where Santos will be whole once again and be reunited with loved ones.
A celebration of life will be held Friday, October 21, 2022 from 3:00 pm-6:00 pm at Sunset Northwest Funeral Home 6321 Bandera Rd San Antonio, TX.
