Julieta A Marquez

It is with great sadness and heartbreak that we announce that the life of devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother Julieta A Marquez has come to an end on April 3, 2026. Julieta was born on July 27, 1932 in a Smeltertown clinic in west El Paso, TX. She grew up in second ward, raised by parents Luis Acosta and Rosa Barragan Acosta along with two younger brothers, Luis and Raul, and younger sister Martha. She attended Aoy elementary and El Paso Tech up through the tenth grade excelling in mathematics. She worked at various department stores downtown until landing a lucrative sales job in fashion at the Popular Department Store serving very exclusive area and famous international clients. After a two year courtship, she married Enrique Marquez in 1956. They had three sons, Enrique Jr, Arturo, and David, as well as twin daughters Esther and Estella. She devoted her life to raising her children in a good, clean, Catholic-American, law abiding home. Dad worked for money but she worked harder to budget three healthy meals a day while juggling our school participation and success and caring for our health and maintaining a poor but clean home. Through her careful budgeting, she saved for a down payment on a home to get us out of second ward, get a family car, and be able to take yearly summer vacations if even only to go camping at Elephant Butte. Her 17 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren were her pride and joy. After reaching retirement age, health limited her activities to avid reading of history and mystery novels and books, playing bingo, and playing the lotto. She loved big band and trio music and dancing. Julieta was preceded in death by her two younger sons David and Arturo and all of her siblings Raul, Luis, and Martha. She left this world on her own preferred terms; at home, in her sleep, without pain...
