Herminia Romo

Fidencia Herminia Valdez was born on November 16th in the year of 1932 in Ciudad Juarez Mexico. She crossed with her family from Juarez into the United States in the mid-1940s. She met her soon to be husband and were married on January 6th in the year 1950. Preceded in death by her husband, they had three children the oldest Alberto Romo Jr. his wife Olga and their 3 children Rene, Abel, and daughter Sandy Marie and great granddaughter Lennon Alexis Romo. Preceded in death by her daughter Maria Luisa Mendez husband Oscar Mendez their children Oscar Mendez Jr. along with Erica his wife and their son and great grandchild Oscar Mendez III, Laura Maria Mendez and Danny Mendez. The last child Carlos Alberto Romo, his wife Lisa and their daughters Marie Kristine Rom and Priscilla Ashley Romo. One of mom's greatest accomplishments in her life was becoming a United States citizen, with that came her official name Herminia Romo dropping Fidencia from her name. She also made everybody’s day better while she worked as a hostess for McDonalds in the mornings. She loved her job; she would greet you with a big good morning smile that would automatically put you at ease. Mom, of course, was the Matriarch of the Romo Family. Diminutive in stature at 4' 10" but don't let that fool you - she was a firecracker of a woman. She survived a quintuple heart bypass surgery some 30 years ago. When she spoke, believe me, we listened. Beloved by many, treating everyone like family, she will be missed but her presence will always be with us in mind and in spirit.
