Genoveva Carmona Rangel, beloved mother to 5 children, went peacefully to her eternal rest on Tuesday September 3, 2013, surrounded by her adoring family, in the comfort and peace of her home. At the tender age of 13 she met "the man", Genaro Perez Rangel, who was to be her soul mate and husband until deathe do them part. At the age of 17 in the winter of 1946 Genaro, accompanied by his parents Herminio & Leonarda Perez Rangel came to ask for her hand in marriage. The consent was given for a marriage which took place in August 26, 1946 . Genoveva was born in Cerralvo, N.L. to Pablo and Andrea Carmona, and was the youngest of 13 children, and the last survivor. She was preceded in death by her husband of 49 years, Genaro Perez Rangel, her much loved in-laws, Herminio and Leonarda Rangel, her parents, Pablo and Andrea Carmona; siblings Benito, Jose Luz, Anselmo, Julian, Pablo and Carlitos. Sisters; Emilia, Julianna, Conception, Juanita, Francisa and Maria del Pilar. Granddaughter Andrea Marie, Great Grandsons, Bryan Xavier and Jacob Alexander. She was a member of St. Josephs on the Brazos, and for a short time an active member of the Guadalupanos. She began working at the Freeport Hospital, and completed 35 years at Brazosport Memorial. Although she was proud of her Mexican heritage, she was delighted when she became a U.S. Citizen of our great nation on September 18, 1978. Her passion was her home, her family, cooking for her family and company. She was an immaculate housekeeper, she loved working in her yard, and stayed active thru dancing too until it became too much for her. She had learned to crotchet and knit at the age of 4 yrs. old, and thru out many years completed many beautiful pieces that she would often give as gifts. She was the Rangel/Carmona family history storyteller. Her boundless energy, her immense love for all her family and overall presence will be greatly missed every single day. Left to cherish her loving memory are her children; Herminio (Carmen), Gennie Cortez, Louis (Juanita), Julie Garza (Art), Paula Shaffer (Raul Guerra), 15 grandchildren, 24 great grandchildren, and 5 great great grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews and extended family and friends.
