Lucia Cortinas Carrion, beloved mother, grandmother, sister and friend; she was the child of Pedro and Maria H. Cortinas born on November 21,1934. On September 28, 2025 Lucia peacefully went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Lucia was an avid reader of books, magazines and especially her Holy Bible; her life was marked by her faith and unwavering commitment to her family; she was a true prayer warrior devoted to daily praying of the rosary. Lucia often regaled everyone with fun stories and fond memories of having been born and raised at the Norias Division of the King Ranch. Our Dad would jokingly say that she had a "Running W Brand" somewhere on her body.
She is survived by her children, Maria "Susan" Robinson, Max Carrion (Tanya), Pete Carreon (Bertha), Lucia Carrion Barnes (Robert Barnes), and Dianna Kile (Felix Lopez). Lucia was a loving grandmother to 13 grandchildren and numerous great grandchildren.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Pedro and Maria H. Cortinas; husband, Rene Carrion; beloved son, Rene Carrion, Jr.; and brothers, Leonel Cortinas and George Cortinas.
Visitation will be held on Friday, October 10, 2025 from 5-7pm at Richardson Colonial Funeral Home, with rosary being recited by The Legion of Mary Organization at 7pm. Funeral mass will be held Saturday, October 11, 2025 at 11am at Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church, with Father Derek Acquah presiding, Mary Moreno as lecter and music being played by Raymond Moreno.

A special thanks to her incredible provider, Erika Prince.
