Cidelia C. Gonzalez, or “Cid” as many knew her, entered eternal rest on Friday, January 17, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas at the age of 75. She was born on March 26, 1949 to Luciano Cruz and Josefa Mireles Cruz in Falfurrias, Texas and was the twin sister to Criselia. Cid worked as a Pharmacy Technician for many years before her retirement. She was a resident of Falfurrias for most of her lifetime and was a devout Catholic.
Cid was a Eucharistic Minister at the Sacred Heart Church for many years and made sure she raised her four children to have faith in the Lord. She was also a Schoenstatt member and a professed third-degree Dominican Laity in Wichita Falls. She was known to be firm, honest and sometimes stubborn but it was her way of showing immense unconditional love. Saturdays were always dedicated to attending church and devotedly praying the Divine Mercy.
She adored her fur babies, Gizmo, Marlie and Jean-Ralphio and she enjoyed watching Turner Classic Movies or any black and white classics. She also liked gardening, especially roses.
As Cid entered into the eternal kingdom, she was reunited with her parents.
She leaves behind to cherish her memories her four children, Ramiro (Jesse Aguilera Jr.) Gonzalez Jr. and Raudel Gonzalez of San Antonio, Texas, Marisol (Ruben Canales Jr.) Gonzalez of McAllen, Texas and Christina Gonzalez of Magnolia, Texas; sister, Cris (Juan) Arevalo of Falfurrias; two nieces, Angela (Nikolo) Guerra and Andrea (Henry Nunez) Arevalo both of Falfurrias and many great-nephews, great-nieces and extended family members.
