Graciela Sierra passed away peacefully on Friday, January 31, 2020 at the age of 80 with her family by her side. She will be reunited with her beloved husband, Guillermo Sierra, her loving mother, Eloisa Rodriguez, father, Jose Rodriguez, brothers, Bobby and Rafael Rodriguez and sisters, Yolanda Rodriguez and Gloria Aguilar. Grace had retired from El Paso ISD where she worked as a school bus driver for over 18 years. She was loved by the students and co-workers and leaves a wealth of friends. Grace was greatly loved and cherished by family and friends and will be sorely missed. Her Grandchildren were the loves of her life and brought her the greatest joy. Our world is a whole lot emptier without our Gracie.
