Sanjuanita Meza

Sanjuanita Meza, 79, of Corpus Christi, Texas, passed away on October 6, 2026. She was a cherished and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend whose faithful life reflected a deep love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

She was born in Monterrey, Mexico, on September 29, 1947. She graduated from Texas A&M Corpus Christi and went on to receive a master’s degree in teaching, carrying forward a steady commitment to learning and service that would shape the years ahead.

Sanjuanita dedicated her career to education, teaching at Presbyterian Pan-American School in Kingsville and at Texas A&M Corpus Christi. Through her work, she lived out a calling marked by constancy, care, and a sincere desire to help others grow.

On February 12, 1969, she married Robert B. Meza in Monterrey, Mexico. Their life together was grounded in devotion and faith, and those who knew Sanjuanita remember the strength of her love and the quiet steadiness with which she supported her family.

Her days were enriched by worship and service to Jesus Christ, as well as by simple joys—cooking and playing volleyball among them. She is especially remembered for always laughing and enjoying life, and for the warmth she shared with her grandchildren: Bradley, Austin, Ethan, and Olivia. Known for her kindness, generosity, and smile, she leaves a legacy of faithfulness and love that will continue to guide those blessed to have known her.

Sanjuanita is survived by her husband, Robert B. Meza; her children, Robert K. Meza and Denise Meza Smith; and her grandchildren, Bradley, Austin, Ethan Smith, and Olivia Meza. The family would like to give a special thanks to family and friends who have reached out in their time of mourning.

A Funeral Service will be held at Coastal Bend State Veterans Cemetery, 9974 I-37, Corpus Christi, TX 78410, US, on October 21, 2026, from 11:00 am to 11:30 am.
