Natalia Cadena

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Natalia Vega Cadena, our loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend to all whose lives she touched. She left us on October 29, 2022 while sleeping peacefully at her home in Odessa, TX. She was in her 93rd year.

She was born in Presidio, TX, met her loving husband, Macario Cadena, in Grandfalls, and married in 1951. They moved to Midland shortly after to start their family.

Natalia was the beloved mother of Arturo Cadena, Joe Cadena, Viola Almodova, Carol Cadena and Danny Cadena. She was a proud grandmother to 14 grandchildren, 33 great grandchildren and 10 great-great grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by her devoted husband, Macario Cadena; parents, Marciana and Trinidad Vega; sister, Manuela Vega Hernandez; and great grandchildren, Jessica Danielle Cadena and Rebekah Grace Cadena.

She lived a full life as a wonderful mother and grandmother and was dedicated and faithful to her church. She loved gardening, shopping and spending time with her family.

Most of all, she loved her family and friends and instilled good values in her children and grandchildren that have served them well. Natalia will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.

The family will receive friends for visitation at Hubbard-Kelly Funeral Home on Wednesday, November 2, 2022 from 5-9 PM. A Celebration of Natalia’s life will be held Thursday, November 3, 2022 at 2 PM at Emmanuel Baptist Church, 1800 Cherry Ln in Midland. Burial will follow at Resthaven Memorial Park. Tony Galan, Alex Almodova, George Torres, Nate Cadena, Danny Cadena Jr and Arturo A. Cadena will serve as pallbearers. Honorary pallbearers will be Roel Cadena and Al Almodova.

A special thank you to Jessica Cadena, Al Almodova and Star Hospice for the great care that was given to her.
