Maria Guadalupe “Lupita” Medina Becerra, age 87, passed away peacefully on August 19, 2026. She was born in Acatic, Jalisco on October 13, 1938, to the late Pioquinto Medina and Juana Almaraz Padilla.
Lupita was a devoted homemaker whose greatest joy in life was her family. Her children were always her priority, and she took great pride in caring for those she loved.
Lupita enjoyed sewing, cooking delicious meals for her family, listening to music, and tending to her plants. She had a nurturing heart that extended beyond her family, and she lovingly cared for her bird and beloved dog, Benji.
