Irene Trujillo, 72, of Houston, TX, passed away peacefully on December 18, 2025. She was born in San Saba, TX, on January 3, 1953, to parents Lucio and Felicidad Martinez. Irene met Jose in Floydada, TX, and they married on December 19, 1974.

Irene worked at St. Gregory Church for several years, where she was a devoted member of the Spanish Choir and The Guadalupana Society of St. Gregory.

Irene was a devoted mother of four and a loving grandmother to Cisco Jr., as well as “Nana” to many. Her greatest joy came from nurturing her family, and she cherished every moment spent together. Irene especially loved celebrating holidays, watching Christmas movies, and enjoying family time, creating lasting memories for all who knew her.

Her faith was a guiding force in her life, and she began each day with EWTN and Mother Angelica, faithfully saying the rosary and watching daily mass. She ended each day in prayer, drawing strength and comfort from her spiritual devotion.

Her legacy of love, faith, and family will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be remembered for her kindness, her unwavering support, and the joy she brought to every gathering.
