Jose Santos Loredo Martinez nacio el 7 de Noviembre del 1936 y fallecio el 27 de Mayo 2026. El se caso con Agustina Loredo Ruiz y tuvieron 14 hijos ✟Luis, Yolanda, Marcos, Leticia, Estela, Emma, Luz, Raquel, Bertha, Beatris, Graciela, Miguel, Jose y Francisca. Santos fue un hombre noble, sabio y trabajador. Con su ejemplo nos enseñó a guardar silencio antes de ofender a alguien, a hacerse el sordo ante pláticas vanas o burlonas, y a vivir con humildad y respeto hacia los demás. También nos enseñó que el hombre verdaderamente rico no es el que más tiene, sino el que trabaja con honestidad y vive con dignidad delante de Dios.

Hoy en dia su familia damos gracias a Dios por el privilegio tan grande de haber aprendido de un hombre asi y aunque su partida nos llena de tristeza, tambien nos deja el Consuelo de saber que su amor, sus enseñanzas y su fe viviran siempre en nosotros.

Maria Pinto Urenda

June 24, 1929 – May 21, 2026

Maria Pinto Urenda, age 97, passed away suddenly on May 21, 2026, in Manor, Texas. Born on June 24, 1929, in San Juan Peyotán, Nayarit, Mexico, Maria lived a long and meaningful life marked by resilience, devotion to her family, and a deep appreciation for traditional craftsmanship.

Maria lost her mother, Petra Urenda, in infancy and was lovingly raised by her maternal grandmother, Juana Urenda. She was the second child of Porfirio Pinto and Petra Urenda. Her life was defined by hard work, perseverance, and an unwavering love for her family. She was preceded in death by her infant daughter, Ramona Quezada Pinto; her husband, Tranquilino Quezada; and her brothers, Agapito Pinto Urenda and Zenaido Pinto Quezada.

She found joy in life’s simplest moments and remained closely connected to her roots through ranch work. Maria also took great pride in her crocheting and embroidery, creating pieces that reflected both her patience and artistry.

Maria carried a distinctive sense of humor, often finding light even in life’s hardships. She would recount the story of how she lost her middle finger with a comical twist. The straightforward version: while roping a calf, the rope wrapped tightly around her finger and severed it. Maria’s version: after it “popped off,” she went to retrieve it, only to discover that a chicken had beaten her to it—and eaten it.

There is no love like that of a mother, and for Maria, that love was most evident in her devotion to her only son, Antonio Quezada Pinto. She was content simply being in his presence. In his absence, she would often ask, “Donde está Antonio?” (“Where is Antonio?”). When he returned home, her face would fill with undeniable joy, and she could finally rest, knowing her son was near. In the last six years of her life, God granted her the precious gift of time with him—time that was truly invaluable to them both.

Maria cherished her family deeply and found great joy in watching her great-grandchildren experience the innocence of childhood. During those moments, she would often ask, “Are the children baptized?”—a question rooted not in judgment, but in her deep faith and desire to see them guided in Christ. Her family finds comfort in knowing that Maria was a devoted daughter of God and has now returned to Him, reunited once more with her daughter.

Her legacy of strength, love, and perseverance lives on through her family. She is survived by her devoted son, Antonio Quezada Pinto (Martha); her cherished family members, Jesus Jose (Ryan Leen), Kassandra Anahi (Brian William), Pablo Gerardo, and Sebastian Ulises; her beloved great-grandchildren, Antonio Julian and Augustus Ryan; and her cousins, Lupe, Ester, Petra, and Lidia Flores Urenda.

Maria will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

María Pinto Urenda
24 de Junio de 1929 – 21 de Mayo de 2026

María Pinto Urenda, de 97 años de edad, falleció repentinamente el 21 de Mayo de 2026 en Manor, Texas. Nacida el 24 de Junio de 1929 en San Juan Peyotán, Nayarit, México, María vivió una vida larga y plena, marcada por su resiliencia, la devoción a su familia y un profundo aprecio por las artesanías tradicionales.

María perdió a su madre, Petra Urenda, durante su infancia y fue criada con amor por su abuela materna, Juana Urenda. Fue la segunda hija de Porfirio Pinto y Petra Urenda. Su vida estuvo definida por el trabajo duro, la perseverancia y un amor incondicional hacia los suyos. Le precedieron en el fallecimiento su hija lactante, Ramona Quezada Pinto; su esposo, Tranquilino Quezada; y sus hermanos, Agapito Pinto Urenda y Zenaido Pinto Quezada.

Maria encontraba la felicidad en los momentos más sencillos de la vida y se mantuvo estrechamente conectada a sus raíces a través del trabajo de rancho. María también se sentía muy orgullosa de sus tejidos de ganchillo (crochet) y sus bordados, creando piezas que reflejaban tanto su paciencia como su arte.

Ella poseía un sentido del humor muy particular y a menudo encontraba el lado ligero incluso en las dificultades de la vida. Solía contar la historia de cómo perdió su dedo medio con un toque cómico. La versión simple: mientras lazaba a un becerro, la soga se enredó con fuerza alrededor de su dedo y se lo cortó. La versión de María: después de que el dedo "salió volando", fue a buscarlo, solo para descubrir que una gallina se le había adelantado y se lo había comido.

No hay amor como el de una madre, y para María, ese amor se hacía más evidente en la devoción por su único hijo, Antonio Quezada Pinto. Ella estaba feliz con el simple hecho de estar en su presencia. Cuando él no estaba, solía preguntar: "¿Dónde está Antonio?". Al regresar él a casa, el rostro de María se iluminaba con una alegría innegable y por fin podía descansar, sabiendo que su hijo estaba cerca. En los últimos seis años de su vida, Dios le concedió el precioso regalo de pasar tiempo a su lado, un tiempo que fue verdaderamente invaluable para ambos.

María amaba profundamente a su familia y disfrutaba enormemente de ver a sus bisnietos vivir la inocencia de la niñez. Durante esos momentos, solía preguntar: "¿Están bautizados los niños?", una pregunta que no nacía del juicio, sino de su profunda fe y de su deseo de verlos guiados en Cristo. Su familia encuentra consuelo al saber que María fue una devota hija de Dios y que ahora ha regresado con Él, reuniéndose una vez más con su hija.Su legado de fortaleza, amor y perseverancia sigue vivo a través de su familia. Le sobreviven su devoto hijo, Antonio Quezada Pinto (Martha); sus queridos familiares, Jesús José (Ryan Leen), Kassandra Anahí (Brian William), Pablo Gerardo y Sebastián Ulises; sus amados bisnietos, Antonio Julián y Augustus Ryan; y sus primas, Lupe, Ester, Petra y Lidia Flores Urenda.María será extrañada profundamente y recordada con mucho amor por todos aquellos que tuvieron el privilegio de conocerla.Por favor, avíseme si desea:Cambiar alguna palabra o frase para que se adapte mejor al vocabulario de su región.Agregar los datos de las honras fúnebres o del sepelio en español.Hacer cualquier otra corrección de nombres en esta versión.

María será extrañada profundamente y recordada con mucho amor por todos aquellos que tuvieron el privilegio de conocerla.

I wanted to share these pictures of what the Northeast Corner of the Cemetery looked like when we took over in 2004. Took a lot of trash bags to clean this up. I especially want to thank the Jimmy Lopez family and many other volunteers and the Cemetery friend who is no longer with us--County Commissioner Lee Dildy.

Last night, we had strong winds and rains and two trees fell over. The Selvera family plot had a tree in it and when it fell over, it also knocked a Headstone over. The other one was on Cemetery property and it blocked one road. There was a Good Samaritan that is known to the Selvera Family and he went and cut both trees into manageable pieces. Thanks to him!!!!

This bench was stolen yesterday at the Elgin Latin Cemetery. One of the family members was there, left for an hour, and when he returned it was gone. The location of the family plot is near the front entrance. If you have any info, please contact the cemetery. It's despicable to steal something from the cemetery but it happens with regularity.

Bartola Hernandez
August 24, 1930 — April 16, 2026

Con profundo pesar anunciamos el fallecimiento de Bartola Martínez Hernández, quien partió de este mundo el día 16 de abril a la edad de 95 años.

Bartola Martínez Hernández nació el 24 de agosto de 1930 en México. Fue una mujer extraordinaria, trabajadora, valiente y una guerrera inolvidable. A lo largo de su vida enfrentó los desafíos con gran fortaleza y perseverancia, sin dejar de salir adelante.

Fue una creyente fiel, guiada siempre por su fe en Dios, lo que le dio fuerza y propósito en cada etapa de su vida.

Bartola dejó un legado grande de amor y unión. Le sobreviven sus 11 hijos, más de 30 nietos y 40 bisnietos, quienes continúan honrando su vida y sus enseñanzas.

Bartola llenó a su familia de amor y unión, enseñándoles con su ejemplo cómo luchar y dándoles consejos con el propósito de que vivieran una vida mejor. Recordandonos de la importancia de tener respeto por todos. Siempre le gustaba platicar y le encantaba compartir historias de su juventud, llenas de vida y recuerdos que hoy siguen viviendo en quienes la escucharon.

Le gustaba sentarse en la puerta de su casa, esperando a quien pasara para saludar. Y como por magia, con la llegada de una sola persona, poco a poco empezaban a llegar más, hasta que se formaba un pequeño grupo lleno de risas y conversación. Tenía ese talento especial de reunir a la gente y siempre sabía qué decir para hacer sentir a todos en casa.

Disfrutaba cada momento de alegría, le encantaba festejar y, sobre todo, ver a su familia reír. Su amor, su fuerza y su alegría vivirán por siempre en nuestros corazones.

Hoy deja un vacío imposible de llenar, pero también un amor tan grande que seguirá vivo en cada recuerdo, en cada risa compartida y en cada reunión familiar.

Aunque hoy sentimos una gran tristeza por su partida, también reconocemos lo hermoso que fue haber tenido el privilegio de compartir tantos años con ella. Dios nos permitió disfrutar su vida, su amor y su presencia. Hoy sabemos que ha regresado a su Creador, dejando un legado que vivirá por generaciones.

Su vida nos deja una enseñanza clara: debemos vivir con propósito y amar a quienes tenemos cerca.
