Blanca Eliza Ward

Blanca Eliza Mireles-Ward went home to our Heavenly Father on Saturday, November 15th 2014. Blanca was born in Falfurrias, Texas on July 17, 1965. Blanca Eliza graduated from Moody High School and moved to Dallas where she graduated with honors from Northlake College in Irving. As a young woman, she lived her Cursillo where she met Christ, and a year ago she attended an ACTS retreat. She was a woman of strong convictions and faithfully attended Sunday Mass.

Blanca Eliza was a devoted daughter, sister, wife and a beloved aunt to her nephew, and two nieces. She was a dedicated and loyal friend to everyone blessed to know her. She was kind, generous, full of love and a great godmother to so many and she loved them all the same. She always gave and gave and never expected anything in return. To all whose lives she touched, we will always be forever grateful for the precious time we spent with her. Blanca Eliza, you left us too soon and we miss you dearly. Until we meet again in Heaven, you will remain in our hearts.
