Virginia Marie Ross Mascorro passed away on March 27, 2020 at the age of 80. She was born and raised in Galveston, Texas and was a current resident of Mandeville, Louisiana. She is survived by Jose Antonio (“Sonny”) Mascorro, her forever appreciative husband of 56 years. She leaves behind her son, Andres Ross Mascorro, daughters Valerie Lynn Mascorro and Velinda Lynn Mascorro, granddaughters Alyssa Marie Mascorro and Miranda Jeanfreau, and great-granddaughters Gabrielle Mascorro Ballier and Ava Mascorro Ballier. She was preceded in death by baby daughter Vanessa Lynn Mascorro in 1965 and parents, Austin and Elisa Ross, and several siblings. She is survived by her younger brother, Arthur Ross and various nieces and nephews, including Gloria Limon who was like a younger sister, all from the Galveston area. Virginia was the ultimate wife, mom, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was a beloved servant, always placing the needs of her family before her own. Her memory will remain cherished in our hearts. She found time in her lifetime to include a fun and rewarding 20-year career with Saks Fifth Avenue in New Orleans. She was a devout woman of great faith and active in various activities with Our Lady of the Lake parish, notably the Alter Society, Knights of Columbus Wives, Faith & Fun Seniors, and bible study groups. Mom was our rock and we now place her in the hands of our Lord. Because of current circumstances, the committal services will be planned for a future date.
