She graduated from Karnes City High School, then attended Texas State Women’s College. She lived in Austin and El Paso, but the Houston area was home from 1963 onward. She devoted her life to her children and grandchildren and, above all else, was a mom. In the mid 1970s, she embarked on a career in real estate, becoming a licensed broker. Following retirement, she focused on her family until progressive dementia deprived her of the ability to be their beloved “Mimi.” Through her long illness, she never lost her smile and maintained a gentle disposition until her final days.

Funeral services will be held on Monday May 29, 2017 in the Chapel of Angels at Forest Park Lawndale. The visitation will begin at 10:00AM and service at 11:00AM.
