Felicia Jalomo Smith

Felicia was united in holy matrimony to Todd Matthew Smith at Holy Family Catholic Church on February 24th, 2001. This union was blessed with two beautiful children, Marlos Matthew, 18, and Gabriela Marisol, 15. The Smiths live in Sugar Land, Texas.

Felicia graduated from John Foster Dulles High School in 1994 and went on to graduate from the University of Texas in 1998. She taught for Fort Bend ISD as well as St. Anne’s Catholic School before leaving teaching to become a wonderful home maker and full-time stay-at-home mom to her children.

Felicia was an active member of several social service organizations, including Fort Bend Junior Service League, The National Charity League, Inc. and The Sugar Land Jewels Chapter, which she helped start. She has supported the autism charity Hope for Three including the founding of an annual jigsaw puzzle competition fundraiser.

Her Catholic faith was as beautiful as her flowers and plants that she cared for and loved so much. She was very artistic and created many great pieces of work some which she sold but most that she used as gifts and to decorate her home. She loved and cared for her three dogs Winston, Mercy and Roxie that will miss her greatly. She had a passion for travel and adventure treasuring the many trips she had with her family who she deemed Los Cuatro Smiths.The picture books she designed are family treasures.

After her shocking cancer diagnosis in September of 2019 her initial treatment was very successful allowing her several months of good health including being able to attend and dance the night away at her daughter's Quinceañera this past January.

Her ferocious loyalty and influence will forever remain in the lives of all who knew her and her strong, caring heart. After a courageous year-long cancer battle she faced with great dignity, she peacefully departed this life Sunday, September 20, 2020 at her home surrounded by her husband, children, parents, aunt and siblings. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Remigio and Isabel Jalomo, and Lawrence and Asencion Salinas and one of her closest aunts, Tereza Jalomo who cared for Gabriela as a young child while Felicia and Todd were at work.

She is survived by her husband Todd; children Marlos and Gabriela; parents Augustine and Frances Jalomo; siblings: sister Patricia and her husband Castor Cubillan, their son Alessandro; brother Augustine Jalomo, Jr. and his partner Philip Nirchi; brother Benjamin Jalomo and his daughter Valerie; brother Remigio Jalomo and his wife Dara, daughter Nicole and their two sons Jax and Jace; aunt Nancy Jalomo; Felicia’s in-laws Bud and Arleen Smith; brother-in-law Chip Smith, his wife Lydia and their daughter Abby; brother-in-law James Smith, his wife Michelle and their three children Jay, Thomas and Kaylynn. Felicia also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, cousins, and countless friends who will all miss her dearly.
