Mary Saenz Zamarripa

Mary was 72 years old but lived an abundantly blessed, beautiful & happy life even till Our Lord called her home to be with him. Our mom’s life would seem too short lived, but those of us who were Blessed to be touched by her understand that her existence and the imprint she left on our hearts & others far exceeds the quantity of time that she stayed here. Our mom will always be The Queen of The Zamarripa Household.

Mary was an amazing mother, a best friend, child counselor and our disciplinarian who was greatly cherished by all of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren & not forgetting to mention every single one of her babies were dear to her and she considered all of us to be her favorite. There was never a day that went by that she didn't brag about her beautiful children & grand-babies.

Our mother is survived by our loving father, husband, best friend & dance partner Frank Zamarripa, of nearly 60 wonderful years.

In life we get one chance to just live it and celebrate. That is one thing our mom did. Our mom was extremely compassionate, gave forgiveness, showered everyone with unconditional love and hugs. Our mom was always available to give a helping hand when needed, as long as it did not interfere with her weekly bingo date nights with our father. That is something that they always enjoyed together. Our Parents were inseparable and even matched in what clothing they wore, they are what is called, ”Everlasting True Love.”
