Carlota was born in Imperial Texas on September 11,1934 to Frank Bernard and Juliana Holguin Bernard. She was married to Miguel Reyes Jr. for 47 years and to that union they had four girls and one boy. Her husband always wanted a boy, so she gave him four girls and surprised him with a boy on Valentine’s Day in 1965. She always did what she could for all her children until the time the Lord took her home.
Carlota was a very happy person always laughing and always had a great smile. She enjoyed spending time with her family. She had 18 grandchildren, 39 great grandchildren and one great great grandchild. She was the rock of our family she will be missed dearly. She loved to sing to each of her grandchildren, especially, “Hush little baby don’t say a word.”
Carlota is now reunited with her husband Miguel, who died on May 24, 1998 and her daughter Betty Seals, who died on March 30, 2012.
Her memory will be cherished by her four children Lulu Garcia, Dorothy (Dee) McCollum, Terry Vigil (Arturo) and Jesse Reyes ( Christine), her siblings, grandchildren and many other family and friends.
