Viola P. Villarreal

She was a devout Catholic and had a strong devotion to La Virgen de Guadalupe. The love she had for her children and family was not only felt by them but by everyone. She had several hobbies, which include painting and shopping. Everyone would ask for her opinion when it came to fashion. She also had a standing hair appointment every Saturday. Her favorite holiday to decorate the house was Christmas. Viola graduated from Roy Miller High School and retired after 30 years from Corpus Christi Independent School District. She had one granddaughter; however, many children adopted her as their grandmother.

She is preceded in death by her husband Juan Cantu Villarreal, her parents Jose and Corina Pedraza; her sisters Corina P. Zarate and Julia P. Yglesias, brothers Joe Pedraza and Sal Pedraza, her sister-in-law Mary Delia Villarreal, her brother-in-law Rudolpho O. Zarate and her sons Orlando Villarreal and Aaron Villarreal.

She is survived by her children: Juan P. Villarreal, Carlos Villarreal (Leticia), Marissa M. Villarreal, her sister Manuela “Nita” Rocha, her sister-in-law Frances Villarreal, and her granddaughter Corina Leticia Villarreal.
