Guadalupe Ortiz de Chapa

Guadalupe "Lupita" was a beloved soul who touched many lives and specially her children. To all of her children, she was a warrior who battled many illnesses but she never ever once complained about them. Our mother was a teacher, confidante and advisor who provided wise counsel without judgement. She was a devoted wife and loving mother. Her love was the greatest gift and we will cherish it forever. We admire her faith in God and how she depended on him as she walked through life.

Guadalupe is survived by her son Israel (Delia) Chapa; son Ovidio (Maria D.) Garza; son Honorato Chapa Jr.; daughter Adela (Alvaro) Jantes; daughter Maribel (Humberto) Ramirez; daughter Irmelda (Donnie) Miller; daughter Catalina (Jose) Muñoz; son Guadalupe (Jodie) Chapa; son Mario A. (Edna) Chapa; and son Corando (Liz) Chapa.

Guadalupe was preceded in death by her spouse Honorato Chapa; daughter Imelda Chapa, son Ubaldo Chapa and daughter Leticia Chapa; father Ignacio Ortiz and mother Catarina Arozena; granddaughter Jisel Ramirez.
