Albert Wardy

Albert Wardy passed away at home on August 27,2023. He was born on October 6, 1927 in Los Angeles, CA and grew up in El Paso, TX. He was a veteran of the Korean War. He always was self-employed and was never afraid to try new things. He owned a grocery store, a hardware store but most of his life he was a general contractor.

In April 1959, he married Elvira Fraga and they lived in El Paso for all of their 64 years of marriage. They raised two children, Diane and Albert, and were blessed with five grandsons. Albert was a loving, caring and protective husband and father. He was a hard worker and always tackled every task with an “I will try attitude” and never “I can’t do it.” He never turned down an opportunity to work on any project with his children or grandchildren and was always working on a project at home or taking care of his 2 acres of pecan and fruit trees. He loved the outdoors and when he was younger, he enjoyed fishing and hunting.

He is survived by his wife Elvira Wardy, daughter Diane Wardy-Gutierrez (Ernie), son Albert Wardy II (Beth), and grandsons Matthew Gutierrez, Joshua Gutierrez, Samuel Gutierrez, Nathan Wardy, and Noah Wardy.

He was preceded in death by his parents Wakeen and Fadwa Wardy, his brothers Amen, Fred, Edward, Richard, Faust and his sisters Helen, Virginia and Edna.

We want to thank his loyal and very caring caregivers Sarah Q., Sarah P., Brianna, and Dolores and his physical therapist Arthur and speech therapist Rosy who worked with him and never gave up on him. He will be deeply missed by all his family and friends.
