Our mom had an unwavering faith in God. She was a Minister's wife, as our Dad was an Assemblies of God Pastor. She raised her kids with the teachings of the Bible. And although in her later years she wasn't a member of a specific church, she was a follower of God and prayed on a daily basis. She knew where she was, God was there with her. She also always made the visitors to her home feel comfortable and welcomed, no matter if it was a friend of hers or a friend of one of her grandkids.
Our mom was also a homemaker, a fantastically awesome cook that never used recipes. She was also a Nurses' Aide at several nursing homes throughout her 30 year career. She retired from St. James House in Baytown.
Mom was preceded in death by her loving husband of 31 years, Eduardo Gonzalez, Sr., who entered Heaven’s gate in November 1996. She was also preceded in death by her parents Ismael and Enedina, her brother, Joaquin Martinez and her nephew, Noe Tenorio. Our mom is survived by her five kids and their spouses, Eddie (Martha), Elias (Mary), Freddy (Debbie), Mirna Avaloz (Thomas), Cesar (Martha). The love of her life is in heaven but she leaves her earthly Loves of her life, which are her Grandchildren that brought her so much joy: Gabby, Niki, Becca, Erika, Dina, Carlos, Sarah, Marissa, Isaiah, Cassie, Hannah, Alex, Adrian, T.J., Amaya, Miranda and Zoey. She also has ten great-grandchildren.
We would like to thank Dr. Kahn and Dr. Hafeez and his staff for the many years they cared and assisted mom while she was their Dialysis patient, they became her friends that we could always call if the need arose. We also want to give our love and gratitude for all the phone calls, visits and prayers we received from family and friends during our mom's days in Hospice.
The family will receive friends at Navarre Funeral Home on Friday September 29, 2017 from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. The funeral service is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. Saturday at Navarre funeral home.
