Guadalupe G Sanchez

January 19, 1922 - February 21, 2022

Guadalupe Gonzalez Sanchez, 100 years old, was called by the Lord into eternal rest on February 20, 2022 at her residence surrounded by family. She was born to Tomas and Maria Concepión Gonzalez, in La Feria, TX. Lupita was married to Margarito Sanchez on January 20, 1955 in Cameron County, Texas. They raised four children in La Feria: Juana Maria Rios, Jose Ernesto Sanchez, Esther Vento, and Jose Hector Sanchez. She is preceded in death by her parents; 3 brothers, Pedro, Julian, and Daniel Gonzalez; 2 sisters, Francisca Robles and Tomasa Sauceda; and her husband Margarito Sanchez. She is survived by her four children, ten grandchildren, M. Elena Rios, J. Pablo Vento, Joaquin L. Rios, M. Dolores Vento, Alejandro Rico Rios, Cassandra L. Downey, Jose Ernesto Sanchez, Jr., Amanda Alvarado, Jhonen Sanchez, and Valerie Pacifica Sanchez; and eight great-grandchildren. She is also survived by an extended family of nieces and nephews. Lupita was a most loving, remarkable woman with such admiration for God. Lupita had a healing touch to all those who came across her path, including orphaned or injured animals. She was known for her knitting, sewing, gardening, crafting, cooking, and baking, which she readily shared with everyone around her. Lupita could always be found singing praises to God, and lived her life as the song, “Un Dia a la Vez.” Her favorite saying is “Dios delante y nosotros de atrás.” Lupita was a member of the St. Francis Xavier Church and often volunteered her time to serve on fundraising committees selling her baked goods. She was a member of the Guadalupanas and often hosted community bible groups and posadas. Lupita demonstrated the unconditional love of God to all of her family and was an inspiration of beauty and compassion to all.
