Virginia Zamora Alaman Moreno

She was born September 14, 1909 in Voth, Texas to Jose Francisco Zamora and Elizabeth Alaman Zamora. She married Jose Ravel Moreno and moved to Baytown in July of 1926. Together they opened Baytown's first Mexican food restaurant, Cuauhtémoc Restaurant, which later became Moreno's Finest Mexican Food. After retiring from the restaurant business, Virginia enrolled in Lee College at the tender age of 68 and took upholstery, horticulture, and sewing classes, becoming a Certified Seamstress. She loved spending time with her family and telling stories about her life. She was a member of Social Order of the Beauceant Assembly Number 153 and also The Order of Eastern Star Chapter Number 798.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Jose Ravel Moreno, son Louis William ""Willie"" Moreno, her siblings Tony and Ernest Zamora, Archie Zamora, Lucille and Henry Zamora, Esther and George Zamora, Mercedes and David Trevizo and son David, Charles Zamora, and Tito Zamora.

She is survived by sister-in-laws Wanda Zamora of Pearland, and Lucy Zamora of Lake Jackson, Florida, her devoted daughter-in-law, Martha Medellin Moreno of Baytown. Her cherished grandchildren Allison and Will Moreno of Baytown, Irvin and Susie Moreno Kleespies of Houston, Nancy Moreno Bradford of Baytown, Linda and Robert Moreno of Kirkland, Washington, Serena Hightower and Arthur Moreno of Houston, Vonda and Joe Moreno of Clear Lake City, and Stephanie and John Moreno of San Antonio. She is also survived by her ""Great Greats"", Scott and Nicki Bradford Kana of Baytown, Kimberly Bradford of Baytown, Sydne Kleespies of San Marcos, Alex Kleespies of Houston, Kelsey R. Moreno of Kirkland, WA, Ellen Moreno and Phillip Moreno of Baytown, Max Moreno, Amelia Moreno, Gabriel Moreno, Quentin Moreno, and Sophia Moreno all of Clear Lake City. Nieces and nephews George Zamora II, Steve and Laurie Ann Zamora Bestwick, Sarah Trevizo Brown, Ronnie Zamora, Greg Zamora, and Tim Zamora. In addition to numerous cousins, her family is completed by long-time friends Julia Campos and Margaret Hill.

Virginia will be remembered for her love of family. She was proud of them and liked to brag that all six of her brothers served their country: Ernest, Archie, George, Charles, and Tito served in WWII, and Henry used his skills as a horologist to help the war effort. She answered to Mom, Grandmo, Grammy, and Virchincha. We will miss her sense of humor and dry wit.

Her family will receive friends at Navarre Funeral Home on Monday, April 21, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 22, at Navarre Funeral Home with the Reverend Paul Stephens officiating. Interment will follow at Forest Park Lawndale.
