Oralia G. Ybarra

Oralia Ybarra will be remembered for her warm heart, joyful spirit, and the love she shared with family and friends. She found happiness in life’s simple pleasures — tending to her garden, cooking meals for loved ones, working on word searches and puzzles, and spending time playing lotería.

She especially loved attending the Charro Days parades and enjoyed music and dancing whenever she had the chance. Oralia’s kindness, laughter, and cherished traditions created countless memories that will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered always.
